" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?" "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." And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live." But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 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. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, 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. 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.' Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." (Luke 10:25-37) I read a story of Albert Einstein when he was touring the United States. He was on a lecture tour, going from university to university, giving lectures on his new “theory of relativity”. His chauffer was an intelligent young man. Near the end of the tour the chauffer, who had been present at each of his lectures, said to Einstein: “You know, you give exactly the same lecture every time, and I have heard your talk so often, I bet that I could give it.” So Einstein, who had a great sense of humor, said “OK, if you want to try, go ahead.” The chauffer then said “Well, I can’t very well go on the stage in a chauffeur’s uniform: how about if we swap clothes?” Einstein agreed, and the chauffer appeared on stage the next evening at a University in New York, and Einstein sat on the stage dressed in the chauffeur’s uniform, listening. And indeed, the chauffer pulled it off. Using Einstein’s notes, he successfully delivered the lecture Einstein had written and given over twenty times, explaining the “Theory of Relativity” to an auditorium full of Scholars from the universities.
