20171009 Gospel Lk 10-25-37

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?" He said in reply, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." He replied to him, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will live."

But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn, and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, 'Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.' Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers' victim?" He answered, "The one who treated him with mercy." Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

Reflection:

Sa pangutana nan scholar of the law kan Jesus kon sin’o para Dija an silingan na kinahanglan mahalon labot pa kan God para mahilangit an tawo, gusto pa gajud nija hibay’an an kahuyugan o meaning nan silingan.

Para sa Habunganon, an silingan jaon mga tawo na naghuya sa mga bayay na jaon sa hasuod sa ato bayay ‘sab.

Pero, para sa ako kabahin, an buot ipasabot nan silingan, sila an ato mga isigkatawo – waya’y pili, abir kon lajo o hasuod sa ato bayay naghuya, sanan an tanan mga tawo sa kalibutan, ato sila mga isigkatawo.

Estranyo man o kilaya man nato, mga isigkatawo nato sila tanan kay mga minugda man sila tanan ni God, amo na kinahanglan makatagamtam sila tanan nan ato magmahal segun sa sugo ni God sa tawo.

Waya’y pili an paghigugma sanan kalooy ni Lord sa tawo ugsa kinahanglan mahipakita ‘sab nato an ato pagpakabana sa ato mga isigkatawo parehas ra ‘sab nan paghigugma ni God dato.
