25 And lo! a wise man of the law rose up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what thing shall I do to have everlasting life? (And behold! a man wise in the Law rose up to test him, and asked, Teacher, what should I do to get eternal life?)
26 And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 He answered, and said, Thou shalt love thy Lord God of all thine heart or Thou shalt love the Lord thy God of all thine heart, and of all thy soul, and of all thy strengths, and of all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. (He answered, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.)
28 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast answered rightly (or Thou hast answered correctly); do this thing, and thou shalt live.
29 But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour? (But desiring to justify himself, he said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?)

31 And it befell, that a priest came down the same way, and passed forth (or and passed by him), when he had seen him.
32 Also a deacon, when he was beside the place, and saw him, passed forth. (Also a Levite, when he was beside the place, and saw him, passed by him.)

34 and came to him, and bound together his wounds, and poured in oil and wine; and laid him on his beast, and led him in to an hostelry, and did the care of him (or and took care of him).
35 And another day (or And the next day), he brought forth two pence, and gave (them) to the hosteller, and said, Have the care of him (or Take care of him); and whatever thou shalt give over, I shall yield to thee, when I come again.
36 Who of these three, seemeth to thee, was (a) neighbour to him, that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said (to him), He that did mercy into him, (or He who did mercy, or who was kind to him). And Jesus said to him, Go thou, and do thou in like manner.
38 And it was done, while they went, he entered into a castle (or he went into a village); and a woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.

40 But Martha busied (herself) about the oft service or Forsooth Martha busied (herself) about much service. And she stood, and said, Lord, takest thou no keep (or carest thou not), that my sister hath left me alone to serve? therefore say thou to her, that she help me.
41 And the Lord answered, and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art busy, and art troubled about full many things;
