QUESTION OF A LAWYER AND PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN. (Luk 10:25-37)
tempted him--"tested him"; in no hostile spirit, yet with no tender anxiety for light on that question of questions, but just to see what insight this great Galilean teacher had. |

A certain lawyer - One who professed to be well skilled in the laws of Moses, and whose business it was to explain them.
Stood up - Rose - came forward to address him.
Tempted him - Feigned a desire to be instructed, but did it to perplex him, or to lead him, if possible, to contradict some of the maxims of the law.

25 And [2532], behold [2400], a certain [5100] lawyer [3544] stood up [450], and [2532] tempted [1598] him [846], saying [3004], Master [1320], what [5101] shall I do [4160] to inherit [2816] eternal [166] life [2222]?
26 [1161] He said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], What [5101] is written [1125] in [1722] the law [3551]? how [4459] readest thou [314]?
27 And [1161] he answering [611] said [2036], Thou shalt love [25] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] heart [2588], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] soul [5590], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] strength [2479], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] mind [1271]; and [2532] thy [4675] neighbour [4139] as [5613] thyself [4572].
28 And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], Thou hast answered [611] right [3723]: this [5124] do [4160], and [2532] thou shalt live [2198].
29 But [1161] he, willing [2309] to justify [1344] himself [1438], said [2036] unto [4314] Jesus [2424], And [2532] who [5101] is [2076] my [3450] neighbour [4139]?
30 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [5274] said [2036], A certain [5100] man [444] went down [2597] from [575] Jerusalem [2419] to [1519] Jericho [2410], and [2532] fell among [4045] thieves [3027], which [3739] [2532] stripped [1562] him [846] of his raiment [1562], and [2532] wounded [4127] [2007] him, and departed [565], leaving [863] him half dead [2253] [5177].
31 And [1161] by [2596] chance [4795] there came down [2597] a certain [5100] priest [2409] that [1722] [1565] way [3598]: and [2532] when he saw [1492] him [846], he passed by on the other side [492].
32 And [1161] likewise [3668] [2532] a Levite [3019], when he was [1096] at [2596] the place [5117], came [2064] and [2532] looked [1492] on him, and passed by on the other side [492].
33 But [1161] a certain [5100] Samaritan [4541], as he journeyed [3593], came [2064] where [2596] he was [846]: and [2532] when he saw [1492] him [846], he had compassion [4697] on him,
34 And [2532] went [4334] to him, and bound up [2611] his [846] wounds [5134], pouring in [2022] oil [1637] and [2532] wine [3631], and [1161] set [1913] him [846] on [1909] his own [2398] beast [2934], and brought [71] him [846] to [1519] an inn [3829], and [2532] took care [1959] of him [846].
35 And [2532] on [1909] the morrow [839] when he departed [1831], he took out [1544] two [1417] pence [1220], and gave [1325] them to the host [3830], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Take care [1959] of him [846]; and [2532] whatsoever [3748] [302] thou spendest more [4325], when I [3165] come again [1722] [1880], I [1473] will repay [591] thee [4671].
36 Which [5101] now [3767] of these [5130] three [5140], thinkest [1380] thou [4671], was [1096] neighbour [4139] unto him that fell [1706] among [1519] the thieves [3027]?
37 And [1161] he said [2036], He that shewed [4160] mercy [1656] on [3326] him [846]. Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto him [846], Go [4198], and [2532] do [4160] thou [4771] likewise [3668].
4 To [1519] an inheritance [2817] incorruptible [862], and [2532] undefiled [283], and [2532] that fadeth not away [263], reserved [5083] in [1722] heaven [3772] for [1519] you [5209],
13 And [2532] lead [1533] us [2248] not [3361] into [1519] temptation [3986], but [235] deliver [4506] us [2248] from [575] evil [4190]: For [3754] thine [4675] is [2076] the kingdom [932], and [2532] the power [1411], and [2532] the glory [1391], for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281].
30 But [1161] the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] lawyers [3544] rejected [114] the counsel [1012] of God [2316] against [1519] themselves [1438], being [907] not [3361] baptized [907] of [5259] him [846].
28 And [2532] one [1520] of the scribes [1122] came [4334], and having heard [191] them [846] reasoning together [4802], and perceiving [1492] that [3754] he had answered [611] them [846] well [2573], asked [1905] him [846], Which [4169] is [2076] the first [4413] commandment [1785] of all [3956]?
35 Then [2532] one [1520] of [1537] them [846], which was a lawyer [3544], asked [1905] him a question, tempting [3985] him [846], and [2532] saying [3004],
35 Then [2532] one [1520] of [1537] them [846], which was a lawyer [3544], asked [1905] him a question, tempting [3985] him [846], and [2532] saying [3004],
