But he, willing to justify his words himself his actions , said unto Jesus, And who is my brother neighbour fellow ? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from the temple the city Jerusalem to a village Jericho a town , and fell among robbers bandits thieves , 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 priest religious leader that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a minister temple assistant 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 pity compassion mercy on him, And went to him, and bound up his injuries bruises wounds , pouring in balm ointment oil and wine, and set him on his own donkey animal beast , 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 pence coins pieces of silver , and gave them to the caretaker innkeeper host , 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 displayed shewed gave mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise as he did the same .
