The first question the priest and the Levite asked was, “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?”
The good Samaritan reversed the question and said, “If I do not stop and help this man, what will happen to him?”

John 17:21-23 (MFV) “I also want to pray for those who, in time, will come to believe in Me through the witness of My disciples… I pray that those who come after them will be completely united as one. There is not guarantee that they will be one; but if they will, then two things will certainly result. First, men and women throughout the world will recognize that I am thepromised Messiah. In addition, Father, men and women throughout the world will recognize that You love them. Consequently, they will respond to your love and receive eternal life through faith in me.”
