29 But G1161 he, willing G2309 to justify G1344 himself, G1438 said G2036 unto G4314 Jesus, G2424 And G2532 who G5101 is G2076 my G3450 neighbour? G4139
30 And G1161 Jesus G2424 answering G5274 said, G2036 A certain G5100 man G444 went down G2597 from G575 Jerusalem G2419 to G1519 Jericho, G2410 and G2532 fell among G4045 thieves, G3027 which G3739 G2532 stripped G1562 him G846 of his raiment, G1562 and G2532 wounded G4127 G2007 him, and departed, G565 leaving G863 him half dead. G2253 G5177
31 And G1161 by G2596 chance G4795 there came down G2597 a certain G5100 priest G2409 that G1722 G1565 way: G3598 and G2532 when he saw G1492 him, G846 he passed by on the other side. G492
32 And G1161 likewise G3668 G2532 a Levite, G3019 when he was G1096 at G2596 the place, G5117 came G2064 and G2532 looked G1492 on him, and passed by on the other side. G492
33 But G1161 a certain G5100 Samaritan, G4541 as he journeyed, G3593 came G2064 where G2596 he was: G846 and G2532 when he saw G1492 him, G846 he had compassion G4697 on him,
34 And G2532 went G4334 to him, and bound up G2611 his G846 wounds, G5134 pouring in G2022 oil G1637 and G2532 wine, G3631 and G1161 set G1913 him G846 on G1909 his own G2398 beast, G2934 and brought G71 him G846 to G1519 an inn, G3829 and G2532 took care G1959 of him. G846
35 And G2532 on G1909 the morrow G839 when he departed, G1831 he took out G1544 two G1417 pence, G1220 and gave G1325 them to the host, G3830 and G2532 said G2036 unto him, G846 Take care G1959 of him; G846 and G2532 whatsoever G3748 G302 thou spendest more, G4325 when I G3165 come again, G1722 G1880 I G1473 will repay G591 thee. G4671
36 Which G5101 now G3767 of these G5130 three, G5140 thinkest G1380 thou, G4671 was G1096 neighbour G4139 unto him that fell G1706 among G1519 the thieves? G3027
37 And G1161 he said, G2036 He that shewed G4160 mercy G1656 on G3326 him. G846 Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto him, G846 Go, G4198 and G2532 do G4160 thou G4771 likewise. G3668

Commentary on Luke 10 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 10
In this chapter we have,
Luk 10:1-16
We have here the sending forth of seventy disciples, two and two, into divers parts of the country, to preach the gospel, and to work miracles in those places which Christ himself designed to visit, to make way for his entertainment. This is not taken notice of by the other evangelists: but the instructions here given them are much the same with those given to the twelve. Observe,
Upon this occasion, the evangelist repeats,
Luk 10:17-24
Christ sent forth the seventy disciples as he was going up to Jerusalem to the feast of tabernacles, when he went up, not openly, but as it were in secret (Jn. 7:10), having sent abroad so great a part of his ordinary retinue; and Dr. Lightfoot thinks it was before his return from that feast, and while he was yet at Jerusalem, or Bethany, which was hard by (for there he was, v. 38), that they, or at least some of them, returned to him. Now here we are told,
Luk 10:25-37
We have here Christ's discourse with a lawyer about some points of conscience, which we are all concerned to be rightly informed in and are so here from Christ though the questions were proposed with no good intention.
Luk 10:38-42
We may observe in this story,
