John xvi. 7-11. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for
you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And
when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of right-
eousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not on
me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see
me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is
judged.
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Je-
sus, And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering, said, 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. And by chance there
came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he
passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he
was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the
other side. 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.
Genesis xxii. 1, 2. And it came to pass after these things, that God
did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: And he said,
Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only
son, Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Mo-
riah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the
mountains which I will tell thee of.
