Jesus said to him, Thou has answered right. Do this and you shall have
life. Then, wanting to justify himself, the lawyer asked Jesus, And
who is my neighbor? Jesus answered this way, A certain man went down
from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves who stripped him,
wounded him, and left him half dead. By chance, a priest came by. When
he saw him, he crossed to the other side. Then, likewise, a Levite
came by and looked at him. He also passed by on the other side.
Finally a Samaritan came up and, when he saw him, he had compassion
and went to him. He bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine, and set
him on his own beast. He brought him to an inn and took care of him.
When he departed the next morning, he took out some money, gave it to
the host, and said, Take care of him. Whatever more you spend, I will
repay you on my way back.
Now which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who
fell among the thieves? The lawyer answered, He that showed mercy on
him. Then Jesus said to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Later they came to a village where a woman named Martha received Him
into her house. She had a sister, Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet
and heard His word.
Martha was concerned about the serving of the meal. She came to Jesus
and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve
alone? Tell her to help me.
