Samaritan Quotes

But a certain Samaritan, ashejourneyed, came wherehe was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 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. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave themtothehost, andsaiduntohim,Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

—Bible (NewTestament)
