Luke 10:33-42 ▼

33 But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,

34 and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;

35 and on the next day, going forth, taking out two denarii, he gave to the innkeeper and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever you may spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to you.

36 Who, then, of these three, seems to you to have become neighbor of him who fell among the robbers?”

37 And he said, “He who did the kindness with him,” then Jesus said to him, “Be going on, and you be doing in like manner.”

38 And it came to pass, in their going on, that He entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, received Him into her house,

39 and she also had a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

40 and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by Him, she said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister left me alone to serve? Say then to her that she may partake along with me.”

41 And Jesus answering said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and disquieted about many things,

42 but of one thing there is need, and Mary chose the good part; that will not be taken away from her.”
