Text[4]='&nbsp;5. "You have answered right," said Jesus. Then He urged the lawyer to do these things. Jesus knew if the lawyer truly loved God and his neighbor he would inherit eternal life.';

Text[11]='&nbsp;12. But when a Samaritan came that way and saw the wounded man, he felt sorry for him, stopped and gave him a drink.';

Text[12]='&nbsp;13. After he had given him first aid, he put the wounded man on his donkey and took him with him.';

Text[13]='&nbsp;14. The Sam a r ita n brought the wounded man to an inn and took care of him during the night.';

Text[14]='&nbsp;15. In the morning he gave the innkeeper some money and asked the innkeeper to take good care of the wounded man.';

Text[15]='&nbsp;16. When Jesus had finished the story, He asked the lawyer which of the three: the priest, the Levite or the Samaritan was neighbor to the wounded man?';

Text[16]='&nbsp;17. The lawyer answered, "The one that showed mercy on him."';

Text[17]='&nbsp;18. Jesus told the lawyer that he too must go and be a good neighbor to everyone in need. Then he could inherit eternal life.';
