10:25 How to be a neighbour
25 Then look, a lawyer stood up to test him, asking, “Teacher, what do I need to do to inherit eternal life?”[ref]
26 “Well, what’s written in the scriptures?” responded Yeshua. “How do you understand them?”
27 “You must love your God Yahweh with all your heart and all your soul, and all your strength and all your mind,” he replied. “Also, you must love your neighbour as yourself.”[ref]
28 “You’ve answered correctly,” answered Yeshua, “so do that and you’ll live forever.”[ref]
29 But the lawyer wanted to justify his lifestyle, so he asked, “And who’s my neighbour?”
30 Yeshua replied with this: “Once a Jewish man was walking downhill from Yerushalem to Yeriho (Jericho) when a group of robbers grabbed him and took everything including his clothes, then took off leaving him there wounded and half-dead. 31 Then it so happened that a priest came down that same road, but when he saw him he continued past on the other side of the road. 32 Similarly, a priestly worker (a Levite) arrived at that place and when he saw him he too passed by on the other side. 33 Then a man from Shomron (Samaria)[fn] who was on a trip came across him, and when he saw him he felt sorry for him[ref] 34 and went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring olive oil and wine on them, then put him on his own animal and took him to a roadhouse and looked after him. 35 The next day he took out two coins and gave them to their host, instructing, ‘Look after this guy and if it costs more than this, I’ll reimburse you on my way back.’
36 “So which of those three do you think acted like the neighbour of the one attacked by robbers?”
10:33 The Judeans and the Samaritans despised each other and disagreed on many vital issues.
Mrk 12:28-34:
28 Then one of the religious teachers who had heard their question and Yeshua’s excellent answer, came closer and asked, “Which of God’s commands is the most important?”
29 “Well,” Yeshua answered, “the most important is this: ‘Listen, Yisrael (Israel). Our God Yahweh is our master.[ref] 30 You must love Yahweh God with all your heart and all your soul, and with all your mind and all your strength.’ 31 And the second is: ‘Love your neighbour like you look after yourself.’ There’s no other commands more important than these.”[ref]
32 The teacher replied to Yeshua, “Yes, teacher, you’re quite right saying there’s only one God and no other,[ref] 33 and saying that we should love him with all our heart and all our intelligence and all our strength, and to be loving our neighbours like we look after ourselves, and all this is more important than all the required temple offerings and sacrifices.”[ref]
34 When Yeshua saw that he’d given such a thoughtful answer, he said, “You’re very close to God’s kingdom!”[ref]
After that, no one else dared to ask Yeshua any more questions.
Mat 22:35-40:
35 so a lawyer among them tested him by asking, 36 “Teacher, which is the most important command in Mosheh’s instructions?”
37 “You should love your God Yahweh with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole mind.[ref] 38 That’s the first and most important command. 39 The next is similar to it: You should love your neighbour the way you love yourself.[ref] 40 Everything in the Torah and the prophets’ writings just follows on from those two commands.”[ref]
Deu 6:5:
5 and you should love your god Yahweh with your whole mind, your entire being, and all your strength.[ref]
Lev 19:18:
18 Don’t try to get revenge against others or hold a grudge against any of your people, but instead, love your neighbour as yourself. I am Yahweh.[ref]
Lev 18:5:
5 You all must follow my instructions and my values—those who do so will live. I am your god Yahweh.[ref]
2Ch 28:15:
15 Then some men from Yisrael were called out by name to come and search the plunder to find clothes and dress the naked captives from Yehudah and give them sandals. Then they gave them food and drink, as well as oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who couldn’t easily walk, and took them to Yeriho (Jericho, the City of Palms) which was nearer their relatives, then those men returned to Shomron (Samaria).
