Jesus began by saying: “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who both stripped him and inflicted blows, and went off, leaving him half - dead. ”
فقد استهلّه يسوع بالقول :‏ « كان إنسان نازلا من اورشليم الى أريحا ،‏ فوقع بين لصوص ،‏ فعرَّوه وأنزلوا به ضربات ،‏ ثم مضوا وقد تركوه بين حي وميت » .‏
