LUKE 10:25-37 
The Good Samaritan
25 An expert in the Law of Moses stood up and asked Jesus a question to see what he would say. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to have eternal life?"
26 Jesus answered, "What is written in the Scriptures? How do you understand them?"
27 The man replied, "The Scriptures say, `Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind.' They also say, `Love your neighbors as much as you love yourself.' "
28 Jesus said, "You have given the right answer. If you do this, you will have eternal life."
29 But the man wanted to show that he knew what he was talking about. So he asked Jesus, "Who are my neighbors?"
30 Jesus replied:
As a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, robbers attacked him and grabbed everything he had. They beat him up and ran off, leaving him half dead. 

31 A priest happened to be going down the same road.  But when he saw the man, he walked by on the other side.  32 Later a temple helper came to the same place.  But when he saw the man who had been beaten up, he also went by on the other side.  33 A man from Samaria then came traveling along that road.  When he saw the man, he felt sorry for him 34 and went over to him.  He treated his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them.  Then he put him on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.  35 The next morning he gave the innkeeper two silver coins and said, "Please take care of the man.  If you spend more than this on him, I will pay you when I return."
36 Then Jesus asked, "Which one of these three people was a real neighbor to the man who was beaten up by robbers?"
37 The teacher answered, "The one who showed pity."
Jesus said, "Go and do the same!"

JOHN 15:11-17
11 I have told you this to make you as completely happy as I am.  12 Now I tell you to love each other, as I have loved you.  13 The greatest way to show love for friends is to die for them.  14 And you are my friends, if you obey me. 15Servants don't know what their master is doing, and so I don't speak to you as my servants.  I speak to you as my friends, and I have told you everything that my Father has told me.

16 You did not choose me. I chose you and sent you out to produce fruit, the kind of fruit that will last.  Then my Father will give you whatever you ask for in my name.  17 So I command you to love each other.

ROMANS 16:1-2
