(Jesus, Our Good Samaritan)
25 And, behold, a certain
lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to
inherit eternal Life?
26 He said unto him, What
is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said,
Thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy
neighbor as thyself.
28 And He said unto him,
Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to
justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
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.
31 And by chance there
came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed
by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite,
when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on
the other side.
33 But a certain
Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him,
he had compassion on him,
34 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.
35 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.
36 Which now of these
three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the
thieves?
37 And he said, He that
shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou
likewise.

following The Lord stood by him, and said, Be
of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of Me
in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

Hebrews 4:14-16 MSG
Now that we know what we
have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s
not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have A Priest who is
out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and
testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right
up to Him and get what He is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept
the help.
I
