Luke 10:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 10:28

26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”

27 So he answered and said, “ ^a‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ^b‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and ^ayou will live.”

29 But he, wanting to ^ajustify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among¹ thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, ^ahe passed by on the other side.
