And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from the city the temple Jerusalem to a village a town Jericho , and fell among robbers thieves bandits , which stripped him of his raiment garments clothes , and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead broken alive . And by chance there came down a certain religious leader holy man priest 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 Samaritan traveler stranger , as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had pity mercy compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds bruises injuries , pouring in ointment oil balm and wine, and set him on his own animal donkey beast , and brought him to an shelter lodging inn , and took care of him. And on the following morning next day morrow when he departed, he took out two pieces of silver pence coins , 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 reimburse settle repay 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 as he did likewise the same .
