The Good Samaritan
H. E. Crane
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, 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 departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the
host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when
I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour
unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then
said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Luke 10:33-37
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord;
because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
Jeremiah 30:17
