How to be a neighbour

Luke 10:25–37

10:25 How to be a neighbour

25[ref]Then look, a lawyer stood us to test him, asking, “Teacher, what do I need to do to inherit eternal life?”

26Well, what’s written in the scriptures?” responded Yeshua. “How do you understand them?

27[ref]“You must love the master, your God, 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.”

28[ref]You’ve answered correctly,” answered Yeshua, “so do that and you’ll live forever.

29But the lawyer wanted to justify his lifestyle, so he asked, “And who’s my neighbour?”

30Yeshua replied with this: “Once a man was walking downhill from Yerusalem to Yericho when a group of robbers who grabbed him and took everything including his clothes, then took off leaving him there wounded and half-dead. 31Then 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. 32Similarly, a priestly worker (a Levite) arrived at that place and when he saw him he too passed by the on other side. 33[ref]Then a man from Samaria[fn] who was on a trip came across him, and when he saw him he felt sorry for him 34and went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring olive oil and wine on them, then put him on his own animal and to him to a roadhouse and looked after him. 35The 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.’

36So which of those three do you think acted like the neighbour of the one attacked by robbers?

37“The one who cared for him,” replied the lawyer.

Then you go and do the same,Yeshua told him.


10:33 The Judeans and the Samaritans despised each other and disagreed on many vital issues.

Mrk 12:28-34:

12:28 Yeshua answers about genuine obedience to God

(Mat. 22:34-40, Luke 10:25-28)

28Then one of the religious teachers who had heard their question and Yeshua’s excellent answer, came closer and asked, “Which of the commandments is the most important?”

29[ref]Yeshua answered, “Well, the most important is this: ‘Listen, Israel. There’s only one God who is our master. 30You must love God your master with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31[ref]And the second is: ‘Love your neighbour like you look after yourself.’ There’s no other commandments more important than these.

32[ref]The teacher replied to Yeshua, “Yes, teacher, you’re quite right saying there’s only one God and no other, 33[ref]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.”

34[ref]When Yeshua saw that he had given such a thoughtful answer, he said, “You are very close to the kingdom of God!

After that, no one else dared to ask Yeshua any more questions.

35so a lawyer among them tested him by asking, 36Teacher, which is the most important commandment from Moses?”

37[ref]You should love the master, your God, with all of your heart and your soul and your mind. 38That’s the first and most important commandment. 39[ref]The next is similar to it: You should love your neighbour like yourself. 40[ref]Everything from the Torah and the writings of the prophets just follows on from those two commandments.
