ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አለ። አንድ ሰው ከኢየሩሳሌም ወደ ኢያሪኮ ወረደ በወንበዴዎችም እጅ ወደቀ፤ እነርሱም ደግሞ ገፈፉት ደበደቡትም በሕይወትና በሞት መካከልም ትተውት ሄዱ። ድንገትም አንድ ካህን በዚያ መንገድ ወረደ አይቶትም ገለል ብሎ አለፈ። እንዲሁም ደግሞ አንድ ሌዋዊ ወደዚያ ስፍራ መጣና አይቶት ገለል ብሎ አለፈ። አንድ ሳምራዊ ግን ሲሄድ ወደ እርሱ መጣ አይቶትም አዘነለት፥ ቀርቦም ዘይትና የወይን ጠጅ በቍስሎቹ ላይ አፍስሶ አሰራቸው፥ በራሱ አህያም ላይ አስቀምጦት ወደ እንግዶች ማደርያ ወሰደው ጠበቀውም።በማግሥቱም ሁለት ዲናር አውጥቶ ለባለቤቱ ሰጠና። ጠብቀው፥ ከዚህም በላይ የምትከስረውን ሁሉ እኔ ስመለስ እከፍልሃለሁ
አለው። እንግዲህ ከነዚህ ከሦስቱ በወንበዴዎች እጅ ለወደቀው ባልንጀራ የሆነው ማንኛው ይመስልሃል? እርሱም። ምሕረት ያደረገለት አለ። ኢየሱስም። ሂድ አንተም እንዲሁ አድርግ አለው።
ሉቃ10:30
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him , and departed, leaving him half dead. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him , and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him , And went to him , and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
