Luke 10:25-37
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?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read
it?”
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.’”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and
you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And
who is my neighbor?”
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.
31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when
he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him,
passed by on the other side.
33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was;
and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
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.
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.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the
man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on
him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Luke 14:13
But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled,
the lame, the blind,
Luke 6:20
Looking at his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you who are
poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Isaiah 61:1-4
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD
has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness
for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of
vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them
a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called
oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places
long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated
for generations.
