Luke 10:29

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Luke 10:29. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

He probably meant to say, "I have not any neighbours; I have no near relations; my father and mother are dead and gone, I have no brothers and sisters, and therefore I may be excused from the duty of loving anyone else as I love myself." Jesus did not answer the lawyer’s question, " Who is my neighbour?" He did not turn the eyes of the man to the poor mendicants who needed charity, but he made him look at himself.
