Overview & Insights

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." (Luke 10:27)

A lawyer asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life and, wanting to justify himself, asks who his neighbor is. Jesus answers with the parable of a traveler beaten by robbers, passed by a priest and a Levite, and rescued by a Samaritan, then tells the lawyer to go and show mercy in the same way.
