Luke 10:25-27

New International Reader's Version

The Story of the Good Samaritan

²⁵ One day an authority on the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to receive eternal life?”

²⁶ “What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you understand it?”

²⁷ He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength and with all your mind.’ (Deuteronomy 6:5) And, ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ” (Leviticus 19:18)
