+ From the Gospel according to Luke (10, 25 – 37)

At that time, a doctor of the Law stood up to test Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him: “What is written in the Law? How do you read? ». He replied: “You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He said to him: ‘You have answered well; do this and you will live “.
But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus: “And who is my neighbor?”. Jesus continued: «A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of the brigands, who took everything away from him, beat him to death and went away, leaving him half dead. By chance, a priest was going down that same road and, when he saw him, he passed on. A Levite also, when he came to that place, saw and passed by. Instead a Samaritan, who was on a journey, passed by him, saw and felt sorry for him. He came close to him, bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; then she loaded him onto his mount, took him to a hotel and took care of him. The following day, he took out two coins and gave them to the hotelier, saying: “Take care of him; what you will spend more, I will pay you on my return “. Which of these three do you think was close to the one who fell into the hands of the brigands? ». He replied, “Whoever took pity on him.” Jesus said to him: “Go and do this too”.
