The Good Samaritan

A man was robbed and left hurt by the road. A priest passed by, and so did a Levite. Then a Samaritan — someone the man’s people did not get along with — stopped, bandaged his wounds, and paid for his care. Jesus said, “Go, and do thou likewise.”

Key verse
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 neighbour as thyself.
Luke 10:27 (KJV)
