Luke 10:27-35

English Standard Version

²⁷ And he answered, ^(A)“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and ^(B)your neighbor as yourself.” ²⁸ And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; ^(C)do this, and you will live.”

²⁹ But he, ^(D)desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” ³⁰ Jesus replied, “A man ^(E)was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. ³¹ Now by chance a ^(F)priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. ³² So likewise ^(G)a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. ³³ But a ^(H)Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. ³⁴ He went to him and ^(I)bound up his wounds, pouring on ^(J)oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. ³⁵ And the next day he took out two ^(K)denarii^[a] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’
