Luke 10:35-42 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

35. And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: 'Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.'

36. Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

37. Then he said, "The one who acted with mercy toward him." And Jesus said to him, "Go, and act similarly."

38. Now it happened that, while they were traveling, he entered into a certain town. And a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her home.

39. And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord's feet, was listening to his word.

40. Now Martha was continually busying herself with serving. And she stood still and said: "Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her, so that she may help me."

41. And the Lord responded by saying to her: "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.

42. And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her."
