In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.
33
But a certain Samaritan, being on his journey, came near him: and seeing him, was moved with compassion:
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.
35
And the next day he took out two pence and gave to the host and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.
36
Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?
37
But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.
38
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39
And she had a sister called Mary. who, sitting also at the Lord’s feet, heard his word.
40
But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? Speak to her therefore, that she help me.
41
And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful and art troubled about many things:
42
But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
