All things are delivered to me by my Father. No man knows who the Son
is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and He to whom
the Son will reveal Him.
Jesus turned to His disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the
eyes that see the things that ye see. Many prophets and kings have
desired to see these things ye see and have not seen them; and to hear
the things ye hear and have not heard them.
Then a lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, Master, what shall I do
to inherit eternal life? Jesus said to him, What is written in the
law? How readest thou? The lawyer answered, Thou shall 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 thy neighbor as thyself.
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. But Jesus said to her, Martha, Martha,
thou art concerned and troubled about so many things. But only one
thing is needful and Mary has chosen that good part which shall not be
taken away from her.
11 After Jesus finished some time in prayer, one of His
disciples said, Lord, teach us to pray as John taught his disciples.
He said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as
in heaven. Give us, day by day, our daily bread. Forgive our sins; for
we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. Let us not fall into
temptation; but deliver us from evil.
