Luke 10:30-42 ▼

30 And Iesus aunswered, and sayde. A certaine man descended from Hierusalem to Hierico, and fell among thieues, which robbed hym of his rayment, and wounded hym, and departed, leauyng hym halfe dead.

31 And it befell, that there came downe a certayne priest that same way, and whe he sawe hym, he passed by on the other syde.

32 And likewise a Leuite, when he went nye to the place, came and loked on him, and passed by the other syde.

33 But a certayne Samaritane, as he iourneyed, came vnto hym, and when he saw him, he had compassion on him.

34 And went to hym, and bounde vp his woundes, and powred in oyle and wine, and set hym on his owne beast, and brought hym to a common Inne, and made prouision for hym.

35 And on the morowe when he departed, he toke out two pence, and gaue them to the hoste, and sayde vnto hym, take cure of hym, and whatsoeuer thou spendest more, when I come agayne, I wyll recompence thee.

36 Which nowe of these three, thinkest thou, was neyghbour vnto hym that fell among the thieues?

37 And he sayde: He that shewed mercy on hym. Then sayde Iesus vnto hym: Go, and do thou lykewyse.

38 Nowe it came to passe, that as they went, he entred into a certayne towne: And a certayne woma, named Martha, receaued hym into her house.

39 And this woman had a sister called Marie, whiche also sate at Iesus feete, and hearde his worde.

40 But Martha was cumbred about much seruing, and came to hym, & saide: Lorde, doest thou not care that my sister hath lefte me to serue alone? Byd her therfore that she helpe me.

41 And Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto her: Martha, Martha, thou art carefull, and troubled about many thynges:

42 Ueryly one is needefull. Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
