And by chance there came down a certain priest holy man religious leader 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 traveler stranger Samaritan , as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had mercy pity compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his bruises wounds injuries , pouring in oil balm ointment and wine, and set him on his own donkey beast animal , and brought him to an shelter lodging inn , 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 caretaker host innkeeper , and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay settle reimburse thee.
