The priests and rabbis often disputed about

this question. They did not call the poor and

ignorant their neighbors, and would show

them no kindness. Christ took no part in their

disputes; He answered the question by a

story about something that had happened a

short time before.

A certain man, He said, was going down from

Jerusalem to Jericho. The road was steep and

rocky, and passed through a wild, lonely

region. Here the man was seized by robbers,

and stripped of all that he had. He was beaten

and bruised, and left for dead.
