In the Gospel of Luke, the story is presented by an inquiry, known as the Great Commandment:
Observe, a specific legal advisor stood up and tried him, saying, "Educator, what should I do to acquire endless life?"
He said to him, "What is composed in the law? How would you read it?"
He replied, "You should love the Lord your God with everything that is in you, with your entire existence, energetically, with all your brain, [Deuteronomy 6:5]; and your neighbor as yourself [Leviticus 19:18]."
He said to him, "You have addressed accurately. Do this, and you will live."
Be that as it may, he, wanting to legitimize himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"
—  Luke 10:25–29, World English Bible
Jesus answers with a story:
Jesus replied, "A specific man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among burglars, who both stripped him and beat him, and left, abandoning him half dead. By chance a specific cleric was going down that way. When he saw him, he went by on the other side. Similarly a Levite additionally, when he went to the spot, and saw him, went by on the other side. In any case, a specific Samaritan, as he voyaged, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with empathy, came to him, and bound up his injuries, pouring on oil and wine. He set him all alone creature, and conveyed him to a hotel, and dealt with him. On the following day, when he left, he took out two denarii, and offered them to the host, and said to him, 'Deal with him. Whatever you spend past that, I will reimburse you when I return.' Now which of these three do you think appeared to be a neighbor to him who fell among the criminals?"
He said, "He who demonstrated kindness on him."
At that point Jesus said to him, "Go and do moreover."
