THE IMMIGRANTS IMPRISONED IN DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS “ … left half dead…”
LUKE 10  [25]  And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"  [26] He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?"  [27] And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."  [28] And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live."  [29] But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"  [30] Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.  [31] Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.  [32] So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.  [33] But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion,  [34] and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.  [35] And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, `Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'  [36] Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?"  [37] He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
