Subject of Sermon: The lawyer’s question and the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Sermon By: The Rev. Karen Cuffie at The Episcopal Church in Almaden.
Today's Gospel Reading: Luke 10:25-37
“ Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he said, "what must I
do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law?
What do you read there?" He answered, "You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength,
and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to
him, "You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live."
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, "And who is my
neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him,
and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going
down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So
likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on
the other side. But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when
he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his
wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. 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; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.' Which
of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the
hands of the robbers?" He said, "The one who showed him mercy." Jesus
said to him, "Go and do likewise." ”
