Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the inn keeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expenses you have.’
