Lesson Thirteen
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Introduction
Share with your neighbor about a time when you really needed someone’s help but no one would help you. What did you do？how did you feel?
Selected reading
Luke 10:25-37
【Luk10:25】 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. 'Teacher,' he asked, 'what must I do to inherit eternal life?'
有一个律法师，起来试探耶稣说，夫子，我该作什么才可以承受永生。
【Luk10:26】 'What is written in the Law?' he replied. 'How do you read it?'
耶稣对他说，律法上写的是什么？你念的是怎样呢？
【Luk10:27】 He answered: '`Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, `Love your neighbor as yourself.' '
他回答说，你要尽心，尽性，尽力，尽意，爱主你的神。又要爱邻舍如同自己。
【Luk10:28】 'You have answered correctly,' Jesus replied. 'Do this and you will live.'
耶稣说，你回答的是。你这样行，就必得永生。
【Luk10:29】 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, 'And who is my neighbor?'
那人要显明自己有理，就对耶稣说，谁是我的邻舍呢？
【Luk10:30】 In reply Jesus said: 'A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.
耶稣回答说，有一个人从耶路撒冷下耶利哥去，落在强盗手中，他们剥去他的衣裳，把他打个半死，就丢下他走了。
【Luk10:31】 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
偶然有一个祭司，从这条路下来。看见他就从那边过去了。
【Luk10:32】 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
又有一个利未人，来到这地方，看见他，也照样从那边过去了。
【Luk10:33】 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
惟有一个撒玛利亚人，行路来到那里。看见他就动了慈心，
【Luk10:34】 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him.
上前用油和酒倒在他的伤处，包裹好了，扶他骑上自己的牲口，带到店里去照应他。
【Luk10:35】 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. `Look after him,' he said, `and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
第二天拿出二钱银子来，交给店主说，你且照应他。此外所费用的，我回来必还你。
【Luk10:36】 'Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?'
你想这三个人，那一个是落在强盗手中的邻舍呢？
【Luk10:37】 The expert in the law replied, 'The one who had mercy on him.' Jesus told him, 'Go and do likewise.'
他说，是怜悯他的。耶稣说，你去照样行吧。
