Σελίδα 215 - But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came •where he was ; and when he saw him he had compassion on him...
Σελίδα 215 - A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Σελίδα 147 - And the eye cannot say unto the hand, "I have no need of thee:" nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you.
Σελίδα 215 - But a certain Samaritan as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion on him ; and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
