Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Luke
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Luke
010:030 Jesus replied, "A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem
to Jericho when he fell among robbers, who after both stripping
and beating him went away, leaving him half dead.
010:031 Now a priest happened to be going down that way, and on seeing
him passed by on the other side.
010:032 In like manner a Levite also came to the place, and seeing
him passed by on the other side.
010:033 But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came where he lay,
and seeing him was moved with pity.
010:034 He went to him, and dressed his wounds with oil and wine and
bound them up. Then placing him on his own mule he brought
him to an inn, where he bestowed every care on him.
010:035 The next day he took out two shillings and gave them to
the innkeeper. "`Take care of him,' he said, `and whatever
further expense you are put to, I will repay it you at
my next visit.'
010:036 "Which of those three seems to you to have acted like a fellow
man to him who fell among the robbers?"
010:037 "The one who showed him pity," he replied. "Go," said Jesus,
"and act in the same way."
010:038 As they pursued their journey He came to a certain village,
where a woman named Martha welcomed Him to her house.
010:039 She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's
feet and listened to His teaching.
010:040 Martha meanwhile was busy and distracted in waiting at table,
and she came and said, "Master, do you not care that my sister
is leaving me to do all the waiting? Tell her to assist me."
010:041 "Martha, Martha," replied Jesus, "you are anxious and worried
about a multitude of things;
010:042 and yet only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen
the good portion and she shall not be deprived of it."
011:001 At one place where He was praying, when He rose from His knees
one of His disciples said to Him, "Master, teach us to pray,
just as John taught his disciples."
011:002 So He said to them, "When you pray, say, `Father may Thy name
be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;
011:003 give us day after day our bread for the day;
011:004 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one
who fails in his duty to us; and bring us not into temptation.'"
011:005 And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend and shall
go to him in the middle of the night and say, "`Friend, lend me
three loaves of bread;
011:006 for a friend of mine has just come to my house from a distance,
and I have nothing for him to eat'?
011:007 "And he from indoors shall answer, "`Do not pester me.
The door is now barred, and I am here in bed with my children.
I cannot get up and give you bread.'
