Jesus took up the question and said:“ A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead.A priest happened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.In the same way, a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.But a Samaritan on his journey came up to him, and when he saw the man, he had compassion.He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said,‘ Take care of him. When I come back I’ll reimburse you for whatever extra you spend.’“ Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”“ The one who showed mercy to him,” he said. Then Jesus told him,“ Go and do the same.”

This is what the Lord says: What fault did your fathers find in Me that they went so far from Me, followed worthless idols, and became worthless themselves?

But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, descendant of Abraham, My friend—I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest corners. I said to you: You are My servant; I have chosen you and not rejected you.Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand.

So this is what you have now become to me. When you see something dreadful, you are afraid.Have I ever said:“ Give me something” or“ Pay a bribe for me from your wealth”or“ Deliver me from the enemy’s power” or“ Redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless”?

He summoned two of his centurions and said,“ Get 200 soldiers ready with 70 cavalry and 200 spearmen to go to Caesarea at nine tonight.Also provide mounts so they can put Paul on them and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”He wrote a letter of this kind:Claudius Lysias, To the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.When this man had been seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them, I arrived with my troops and rescued him because I learned that he is a Roman citizen.Wanting to know the charge they were accusing him of, I brought him down before their Sanhedrin.I found out that the accusations were about disputed matters in their law, and that there was no charge that merited death or chains.When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you right away. I also ordered his accusers to state their case against him in your presence.Therefore, the soldiers took Paul during the night and brought him to Antipatris as they were ordered.The next day, they returned to the barracks, allowing the cavalry to go on with him.When these men entered Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.After he read it, he asked what province he was from. So when he learned he was from Cilicia,he said,“ I will give you a hearing whenever your accusers get here too.” And he ordered that he be kept under guard in Herod’s palace.
