SCRIPTURE.

Luke IOs3O-37.


A Nd Jesus answering said, A GER
n tain man went down from Jeru-
salem to Jericho. and fell among
thieves. which stripped him Of his
raiment. and wounded him. and de-
parted. leaving him half dead
And by chance there came down a
certain priest that way; and when he
saw him, he passed by on the other
side
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 Jour
neyed. 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 de-
parted. he took out two pence. and
gave them TO the host, and said unto
him. Take care Of him; and whatso-
ever thou spendest more. when come
again. I VIII repay thee.
Which now OF these three. thinkest
thou. was neighbor unto him that fell
among the thieves?
And he said, He that showed mercy
on him Then said Jesus unto him,
Go. and do thou likewise.
