Luke 10:17-42

17The 1seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even 2the demons are subject to us in Your name.” 18And He said to them, “I was watching 3Satan fall from heaven like lightning. 19Behold, I have given you authority to 4tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. 20Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that 5your names are recorded in heaven.”

216At that very 7time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I 8praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. 229All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and 10no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”

2311Turning to the disciples, He said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see, 24for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.”

2512And a 1314lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? 15How does it read to you?” 27And he answered, “16You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” 28And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; 17do this and you will live.” 29But wishing 18to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30Jesus replied and said, “A man was 19going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and 20beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. 31And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a 21Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, 34and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35On the next day he took out two 22denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’ 36Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” 37And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do 23the same.”

38Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named 24Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39She had a sister called 25Mary, who was 26seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. 40But 27Martha was distracted with 28all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” 41But the Lord answered and said to her, “29Martha, Martha, you are 30worried and bothered about so many things; 4231but only one thing is necessary, for 32Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
