34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

I. He Gave the Inn Keeper to Two Pence: (a plural of Penny , used to refer to a sum of money) to Take Care of Him

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him;

J. The Good Samaritan Told the Inn Keeper That if You Spend More to Take Care of Him, He Would Repay. When He Came by Again

and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

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

And she said, Yea, for so much.” “9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.”
