Obadiah 1:12-14
But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither speak proudly in the day of distress.Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress.

Luke 10:30-37
Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.And on the morrow he took out two shillings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee.Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers?And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Acts 23:23-35
And he called unto him two of the centurions, and said, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night:and he bade them provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.And he wrote a letter after this form:Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.And desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him down unto their council:whom I found to be accused about questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.And when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to thee forthwith, charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee.So the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:and they, when they came to Cæsarea and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,I will hear thee fully, said he, when thine accusers also are come: and he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s palace.
