But the lawyer, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29)
Jesus asked: Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed mercy on him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” (Luke 10:36-37)
“Neighbors, as Jesus knew. Can be a not insignificant challenge to anyone’s Christianity.” (Niall Williams. THIS IS HAPPINESS. P 92)
