"How do you read it?" • 27He answered: "'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, 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'" • 28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." • 29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbour?" Understand God's Love & Understand the other person

  13. 30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half-dead. • 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. • 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. • 33But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. • 34He went to him & bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil & wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. • 35The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' • 36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" • 37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise." Thank God for his written Word to us
