And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from the temple the city Jerusalem to Jericho a village a town , and fell among thieves robbers bandits , which stripped him of his garments raiment clothes , and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half alive dead broken . And by chance there came down a certain priest religious leader holy man that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a temple assistant minister Levite , when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain stranger traveler Samaritan , as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had pity compassion mercy on him, And went to him, and bound up his injuries bruises wounds , pouring in oil balm ointment and wine, and set him on his own animal donkey beast , and brought him to an inn shelter lodging , and took care of him. And on the following morning morrow next day when he departed, he took out two pieces of silver pence coins , and gave them to the host caretaker innkeeper , and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will reimburse repay settle thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that displayed shewed gave mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou as he did likewise the same .
