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