30 And Jesus said, 'A certain man was going from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of his clothes, wounded him, and departed, leaving him scarcely alive.'

31 By chance, a certain priest was walking along that road, and seeing him, he passed by.

32 And also the Levite, being in that place, came and looked, and passed by.

33 And a certain Samaritan, passing by, came upon him, and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion

34 And he came near, and bound up his wounds, pouring out oil and wine; and having put him on his donkey, he brought him to the inn and took care of him;

35 And the next day, as he was departing, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, 'Take care of him; and if you spend any more, when I return, I will give it to you.

36 Which of these three, thinkest thou, was the neighbor of the robbers?

37 And he said, He that hath shown him mercy. Then Jesus said to him, "Go, and you do likewise."

38 And in the course of their journey he came to a certain village; here a woman, whose name was Martha, received Him into her house;

39 And she had a sister named Mary, who sat down at the feet of Jesus, and heard his word.

40 And Martha was taking care of the great refreshment, and coming up, she said, "Lord! or do you not need that my sister left me alone to serve? Tell her to help me.

41 And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha! Martha! You care and fuss about many things,

42 but only one thing is necessary; Mary chose the good part, which would not be taken away from her.
