Luke 10:36

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? - a most dexterous way of putting the question: first, turning it from the lawyer's form of it, 'Whom am I to love as my neighbour?' to the more pointed question, 'Who is the man that shows that love?' and next, compelling the lawyer to give a reply very different from what he would like-not only condemning his own nation, but those of them who should be the most exemplary; and finally, making him commend one of a deeply-hated race. And he does so, but it is almost extorted.
