He encounters a Levite, who also, like the priest, walks to the other
side of the road when he sees this beaten, weary traveler. But then he
comes across a Samaritan. The Samaritan took pity on the traveler,
bandaged his wounds, and took him and paid for him to stay at an inn. Jesus asked the student: ``Which of these men was a neighbor?''
The student said: ``The one who showed mercy.''
Jesus said to the student: ``Go and do likewise.''
To my colleagues in this House, Republicans and Democrats, and

the weary travelers. How will we receive them?
