Luke 10:29-42

29But wanting 1to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30Jesus replied and said, “A man was 2going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he encountered robbers, and they stripped him and 3beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. 31And by coincidence 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 4Samaritan 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 animal, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35On the next day he took out two 5denarii 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 6proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” 37And he said, “The one who showed compassion to him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do 7the same.”

38Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named 8Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39And she had a sister called 9Mary, who was also 10seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. 40But 11Martha was distracted with 12all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving 13by myself? Then tell her to help me.” 41But the Lord answered and said to her, “14Martha, Martha, you are 15worried and distracted by many things; 4216but only one thing is necessary; for 17Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
