LUKE 10:18-39

¹⁸And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.

¹⁹Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.

²⁰Howbeit in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

²¹In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.

²²All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.

²³And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

²⁴for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

²⁵And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

²⁶And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷And 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 neighbour as thyself.

²⁸And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

²⁹But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

³⁰Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, which both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

³¹And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³²And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

³³But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

³⁴and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

³⁵And on the morrow he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee.

³⁶Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbour unto him that fell among the robbers?

³⁷And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

³⁸Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

³⁹And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at the Lord’s feet, and heard his word.
