Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22
All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and [he] to whom the Son will reveal [him].
23
And he turned himself to [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see.
24
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
25
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26
He said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27
And he answering said, Thou shalt 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.
28
And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29
But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
30
And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.
31
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked [on him], and passed by on the other side.
33
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came were he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],
34
And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35
And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave [them] to the host, and said to him, Take care of him: and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?
37
And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38
Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.
39
And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
