Luke 10:36-42 ▼

36 Which one of these three seems to you to have been the neighbor of him who fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, The one having done mercy with him. And Jesus said to him, Go, thou, and do likewise.

38 And it came to pass while they were going round, He also came into a certain village: and a certain woman by name Martha received Him into her house.

39 And there was a sister to her called Mary, who indeed sitting down at the feet of the Lord, continued to hear his word:

40 and Martha was very busy about much serving. And standing over Him, she said, Lord, is there no care to thee that my sister has left me to serve alone? then say to her that she must assist me.

41 And the Lord responding said to her, Martha, Martha, you are solicitous and encumbered concerning many things:

42 but there is need of one thing: for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.
