Luke 10:25 New Living Translation: Jesus teaching:
25 One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question:
“Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?”
27 The man answered, “‘You must love… God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’
And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!”
29 Then the man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
Then Jesus told the story we call “The Good Samaritan.”
