Luke 10:25–42

²⁵And behold, a certain ^jlawyer stood up, and ^ktempted him, saying, ^lMaster, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? ²⁶He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? ²⁷And he answering said, ^mThou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and ⁿthy neighbour as thyself. ²⁸And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and ^othou shalt live. ²⁹But he, willing to ^pjustify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? ³⁰And Jesus answering said, A certain man ^qwent down from Jerusalem to ^rJericho, and fell among ^sthieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. ³¹And by chance there ^qcame down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he ^tpassed by on the other side. ³²And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and ^tpassed by on the other side. ³³But a certain ^uSamaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, ³⁴and went to him, and ^xbound up his wounds, pouring in ^xoil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. ³⁶Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the ^sthieves? ³⁷And he said, He that ^yshewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

³⁸Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named ^zMartha ^areceived him into her house. ³⁹And she had a sister called ^bMary, which also ^csat at Jesus feet, and heard his word. ⁴⁰But ^zMartha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. ⁴¹And Jesus answered and said unto her, ^zMartha, Martha, ^dthou art careful and troubled about many things: ⁴²but ^eone thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen ^fthat good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
