Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who also stripped him and
having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
10:31. And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way:
and seeing him, passed by.

him, passed by.

and seeing him, was moved with compassion:
10:34. And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and
wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn and
took care of him.

said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above,

careful and art troubled about many things:

Luke Chapter 11
Christ teaches his disciples to pray. He casts out a dumb devil,
confutes the Pharisees, and pronounces woes against them for their
hypocrisy.
11:1. And it came to pass that as he was in a certain place praying,
when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to
pray, as John also taught his disciples.
11:2. And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come.
11:3. Give us this day our daily bread.
11:4. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is
indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.
11:5. And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend and shall
go to him at midnight and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three
loaves,
11:6. Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me and I have
not what to set before him.
11:7. And he from within should answer and say: Trouble me not; the
door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and
give thee.
11:8. Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will
not rise and give him because he is his friend; yet, because of his
importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
