Isaiah 58:6 Is this not the fast I have chosen; to loose the bonds of wickedness to undo the heavy burdens to let the oppressed go free and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring the poor to your house who are cast out; when you see the naked that you cover him, and not hide from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the Lord God shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call and the Lord will answer; you shall cry and He will say here I am. If you take away the yoke from your mist, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, whose water does not fail. Those among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of the Streets to Dwell in. If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My Holy Day and call the Sabbath a delight, the Holy Day a delight, the Holy day of the Lord honorable, and shall honor Him not doing your own ways nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words, then you shall delight yourself in the Lord, and I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.

Then Jesus answered and said ” A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a certain priest came down that road, and when he saw him, he passed on the other side. Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, 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. So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii gave them to the innkeeper and said to him “take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you. So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him?” And he said ” he who showed mercy on him. Then Jesus said to him, “go and do likewise.”
