But he, willing to justify his words his actions himself , said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour brother fellow ? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from the temple Jerusalem the city to a village Jericho a town , and fell among robbers thieves bandits , which stripped him of his clothes raiment garments , and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead alive broken . And by chance there came down a certain religious leader priest holy man that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a temple assistant Levite minister , 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 compassion mercy pity on him, And went to him, and bound up his injuries wounds bruises , pouring in oil balm ointment 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 next day following morning morrow when he departed, he took out two pence coins pieces of silver , and gave them to the innkeeper host 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 shewed gave displayed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou the same as he did likewise .
