Luke 10:35

GenerosityMercy and compassion

33 But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion.

34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’

36 Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 “The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
