Luke 10:35-42 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.”

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.”
