164:1.3 But [[Jesus]] [[discerned]] the lawyer's [[motive]], and instead of falling into the trap, he [[proceeded]] to tell his hearers a [[story]], a story which would be fully [[appreciated]] by any [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho Jericho] [[audience]]. Said [[Jesus]]: " A certain man was going down from [[Jerusalem]] to Jericho, and he fell into the hands of [[cruel]] brigands, who robbed him, stripped him and beat him, and departing, left him half [[dead]]. Very soon, by [[chance]], a certain [[priest]] was going down that way, and when he came upon the wounded man, seeing his sorry plight, he passed by on the other side of the road. And in like manner a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levite Levite] also, when he came along and saw the man, passed by on the other side. Now, about this time, a certain [[Samaritan]], as he journeyed down to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho Jericho], came across this wounded man; and when he saw how he had been robbed and beaten, he was moved with [[compassion]], and going over to him, he bound up his [[wounds]], pouring on oil and wine, and setting the man upon his own beast, brought him here to the inn and took care of him. And on the morrow he took out some [[money]] and, giving it to the [[host]], said: `Take good care of my [[friend]], and if the expense is more, when I come back again, I will repay you.' Now let me ask you: Which of these three turned out to be the [[neighbor]] of him who fell among the robbers? " And when the lawyer [[perceived]] that he had fallen into his own snare, he answered, " He who showed [[mercy]] on him. " And [[Jesus]] said, " Go and do likewise.

164:1.4 The lawyer answered, " He who showed [[mercy]], " that he might refrain from even speaking that odious [[word]], [[Samaritan]]. The lawyer was [[forced]] to give the very answer to the question, " Who is my [[neighbor]]? " which Jesus wished given, and which, if [[Jesus]] had so stated, would have directly involved him in the charge of [[heresy]]. [[Jesus]] not only confounded the dishonest lawyer, but he told his hearers a [[story]] which was at the same time a [[beautiful]] [[admonition]] to all his followers and a stunning [[rebuke]] to all [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] regarding their [[attitude]] toward the [[Samaritans]]. And this [[story]] has continued to promote brotherly [[love]] among all who have subsequently [[believed]] the [[gospel]] of [[Jesus]].
