Luke 10:25–10:37

Read Luke 10:34 with 10:25–10:37. Luke 10:34 anchors Luke 10:34's part of Luke 10:25–10:37 in its own wording: “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”. The complete unit's controlling movement is: A lawyer tests Jesus about life and the law, correctly joins love of God and neighbor, then hears of a wounded man passed by two figures and compassionately aided by a Samaritan; Jesus tells him to do likewise.

Why This Verse Appears Here

Luke 10:34 anchors Luke 10:34's part of Luke 10:25–10:37 in its own wording: “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”.

What Remains True

Luke 10:34 anchors Luke 10:34's part of Luke 10:25–10:37 in its own wording: “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”. Read inside Luke 10:25–10:37, this contribution supports the unit's proportionate truth: A lawyer tests Jesus about life and the law, correctly joins love of God and neighbor, then hears of a wounded man passed by two figures and compassionately aided by a Samaritan; Jesus tells him to do likewise. Its use remains accountable to affected people and the unit's explicit boundary.

How It Can Shape Life
