sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead! and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? 54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God. 55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw _it_, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. § 86. A lawyer instructed. Love to our neighbour defined. Parable of the Good Samaritan. _Near Jerusalem_. Luke. CH. X. 25-37. 25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.(210) 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.(211) 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30 And Jesus answering, said, A certain _man_ went down(212) from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded _him_, and departed, leaving him _half_ dead. 31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked _on him_, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion _on him_, 34 And went to _him_, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave _them_ to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him: and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. § 87. Jesus in the house of Martha and Mary. _Bethany_.
