The Good Samaritan

Saint Luke - Chapter 10


The Good Samaritan. J-J Tissot
[30] Suscipiens autem Jesus, dixit : Homo quidam descendebat ab Jerusalem in Jericho, et incidit in latrones, qui etiam despoliaverunt eum : et plagis impositis abierunt semivivo relicto.
And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.

[31] Accidit autem ut sacerdos quidam descenderet eadem via : et viso illo praeterivit.
And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.

[32] Similiter et Levita, cum esset secus locum, et videret eum, pertransiit.
In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.

[33] Samaritanus autem quidam iter faciens, venit secus eum : et videns eum, misericordia motus est.
But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion.

[34] Et appropians alligavit vulnera ejus, infundens oleum et vinum : et imponens illum in jumentum suum, duxit in stabulum, et curam ejus egit.
And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

[35] Et altera die protulit duos denarios, et dedit stabulario, et ait : Curam illius habe : et quodcumque supererogaveris, ego cum rediero reddam tibi.
And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.

[36] Quis horum trium videtur tibi proximus fuisse illi, qui incidit in latrones?
Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?

[37] At ille dixit : Qui fecit misericordiam in illum. Et ait illi Jesus : Vade, et tu fac similiter.
But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.


Totus tuus ego sum 
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
