Listen to some of Jesus' most renowned parables in this book. A particular lawyer came to Jesus having the desire to tempt him and said, “Teacher, what should I do to have everlasting life?” Jesus replied, “What does the Law state? What is written in it?” The lawyer answered, “Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Also, love your neighbor as yourself.” When Jesus heard this, he said, “You have stated correctly. Do this and you will live.” The lawyer wanted to know more so he asked, “Lord, who is my neighbour?” Then Jesus gave to him a parable and said, “A man was travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and on his way, he met upon thieves who took his clothes, and injured him badly; and went away leaving him for dead.” “And along the way by chance came down that same road a priest, and when he saw the badly injured man he walked over by the other side.”Show book
