Luke 10:18-42

18And He said to them, “I was watching 1Satan fall from heaven like lightning. 19Behold, I have given you authority to 2tread 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 3your names are recorded in heaven.”

214At that very 5time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I 6praise 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. 227All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and 8no 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.”

239Turning 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.”

2510And a 1112lawyer 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? 13How does it read to you?” 27And he answered, “14You 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; 15do this and you will live.” 29But wishing 16to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30Jesus replied and said, “A man was 17going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and 18beat 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 19Samaritan, 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 20denarii 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 21the same.”

38Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named 22Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39She had a sister called 23Mary, who was 24seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. 40But 25Martha was distracted with 26all 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, “27Martha, Martha, you are 28worried and bothered about so many things; 4229but only one thing is necessary, for 30Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
