Good Samaritan

A man to Jericho was making his way when robbers attacked as if him to slay; then stealing his gold and leaving him cold – half-dead by the road, a scene of dismay. A Priest was passing. Would he intervene? Likewise a Levite surveying the scene. While heaving a sigh both did pass by – to bind up his wounds would make them unclean. A Samaritan who was struggling along, showed pity on the man who'd suffered such wrong. So doing his best the wounds he did dress, then took him to an inn, his beast thereupon. “Now which of these proved to be the neighbour to the one who suffered such a disfavour?” “He who showed mercy but none of the clergy.” “So where there's such need you could be a saviour.” Luke 10.25-37
