Luke 10:30-36 (Eternal Life Requires Good Deeds)
---a lawyer ...posed..."Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" Jesus answered him: "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"He replied: (Love God, neighbor, etc.) Jesus said, "You have answered correctly. Do this and you shall live."But (he said)...who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied: There was a man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho who fell prey to robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and then went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road; he saw him but continued on. Likewise there was a Levite who came the same way; he saw him and went on. But a Samaritan who was journeying along came on him and was moved to pity at the sight. He approached him and dressed his wounds, pouring in oil and wine. He then hoisted him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, where he cared for him. The next day he took out two silver pieces and gave them to the inn-keeper with the request: ‘Look after him, and if there is any further expense I will repay you on my way back.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the man who fell in with the robbers?” the answer came, “The one who treated him with compassion.” Jesus said to him, “Then go and do the same.” |
