Luke 10:35-42

35 And on the next day, he took out two denarii [and] gave [them] to the innkeeper, and said, "Take care of him, and whatever you spend in addition, I will repay to you when I return.

36 Which of these three do you suppose became a neighbor of the man who fell among the robbers?"

37 So he said, "The one who showed mercy to him." And Jesus said to him, "You go and do likewise."

Martha and Mary

38 Now as they traveled along, he entered into a certain village. And a certain woman {named} Martha welcomed him.

39 And {she had} a sister named Mary, who also sat at the feet of Jesus [and] was listening to his teaching.

40 But Martha was distracted with much preparation, so she approached [and] said, "Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me alone to make preparations? Then tell her that she should help me!"

41 But the Lord answered [and] said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many [things]!

42 But few [things] are necessary, or [only] one [thing], for Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."
