24For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.
25And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?
26And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?
27And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.
28And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.
29But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.
