Do the Same [27-11]

Then Jesus asked the law expert, “What do you think? Which one of the three men was a neighbor to the man who was robbed and beaten?” He replied, “The one who was merciful to him.” Jesus told him, “You go and do the same.”

耶稣问律师：“你认为，对于一个遭遇打劫和毒打的人来说，这三个人之中谁才是自己的邻居呢？”律师回答说：“那个有仁慈的撒玛利亚人。”耶稣说，“你也可以去做同样的事情。”
