A lawyer asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” But he asked, “wishing to justify himself.” Jesus asks him, “what is written in the law.” Luke 10:25-29

Jesus sends him to the Bible. Matthew Henry explains how important it is to go to scripture for everything,

“Having it written, it is our duty to read it, to read it with understanding, and to treasure up what we read, so that when there is occasion, we may be able to tell what is written in the law, and how we read. To this we must appeal; by this we must try doctrines and end disputes; this must be our oracle, our touchstone, our rule, our guide. What is written in the law? How do we read? if there be light in us, it will have regard to this light.”
