So a lawyer asked Jesus one day how to gain eternal life and Jesus said you must know the law what does it tell you the lawyer said you must love god with all your heart and you must love you neighbor as much as you love yourself and then Jesus said you have answered right, the lawyer then said who is my neighbor, and Jesus replied in a story.
So a man was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. But then on the way some thieves came and they tore his clothes, took his money and beat him, then they ran away leaving the man on the side of the road nearly dead. And then a little while later a Priest came and saw the man but walked quickly on the other side of the road. The next man that came was a Levite a man that assisted the Priests in the temples. And then a third man came by he was a Samaritan he saw the man and healed his wounds an bandaged them then sent him to the nearest inn and looked after him for the night and then gave the innkeeper money to take care of the man.
Then Jesus asked the lawyer which of these three men was a true neighbor, the lawyer answered the samaritan. Then Jesus told the man to remember this story and be like the Samaritan.
