when he fell into the hands of robbers.
They stripped him of his clothes, beat him
and went away, leaving him half dead.

So too, a Levite [religious leader],
when he came to the place and saw him,
passed by on the other side.
But a Samaritan [Samaritans and Jews generally disliked
and were suspicious of each other] came where the man was;
and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds ... and ...
took him to an inn and took care of him. ...
Jesus [said] "Go and do likewise."

But soon or late the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.
