A man asked Jesus what mattered most, and Jesus answered:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27, WEB)
Moved With Compassion
Then Jesus told a story: a traveler was hurt, and two people walked past — but:
“A certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion.” (Luke 10:33, WEB)
At the end, Jesus asked who had been a real neighbor, and said:
“Go and do likewise.” (Luke 10:37, WEB)
