Luke 10:34-41

³⁴He went to that man and helped him. He treated the places where he was bleeding. He put wine and oil on them, and bandaged them, to help them get better. Then he lifted him up and put him on his donkey and took him to a hotel, and they both stayed there that night.

³⁹Her sister, called Mary, sat down near Jesus. He was teaching the people about God, and Mary just sat there listening to everything he said.
