________________ 28 Jesus said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live." 29 But the legal expert wanted to prove that he was right, so he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 75 30 Jesus replied, "A man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He encountered thieves, who stripped him naked, beat him up, and left him near death. 31Now it just so happened that a priest was also going down the same road. When he saw the injured man, he crossed over to the other side of the road and went on his way. 32 Likewise, a Levite came by that spot, saw the injured man, and crossed over to the other side of the road and went on his way. 33A Samaritan, who was on a journey, came to where the man was. But when he saw him, he was moved with compassion. 34The Samaritan went to him and bandaged his wounds, tending them with oil and wine. Then he placed the wounded man on his own donkey, took him to an inn, and took care of him. 35The next day, he took two full days' worth of wages and gave them to the innkeeper. He said, "Take care of him, and when I return, I will pay you back for any additional costs.' 36What do you think? Which one of these three was a neighbor to the man who encountered thieves?" 37 Then the legal expert said, "The one who demonstrated mercy toward him.” Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise." Jesus visits Martha and Mary 38 While Jesus and his disciples were traveling, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed him as a guest. 39She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his message. 40 By contrast, Martha was preoccupied with getting everything ready for their meal. So Martha came to him and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to prepare the table all by myself? Tell her to help me." 41 The Lord answered, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things. "One thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the better part. It won't be taken away from her." Luke 11:16 Teaching the disciples to pray Jesus was praying in a certain place. said, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." 2 Jesus told them, "When you pray, say: 'Father, uphold the holiness of your name. Bring in your kingdom. 3 Give us the bread we need for today. "Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who has wronged us. And don't lead us into temptation."" 5 He also said to them, "Imagine that one of you has a friend and you go to that friend in the middle of the night. Imagine saying, 'Friend, loan me three loaves of bread 'because a friend of mine on a journey has arrived and I have nothing to set before him.' 'Imagine further that he answers from within the house, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can't get up to give you anything.' I assure you, even if he wouldn't get up and help because of his friendship, he will get up and give his friend whatever he needs because of his friend's brashness. 'And I tell you: Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 Everyone who asks, receives. Whoever seeks, finds. To everyone who knocks, the door is opened. 11"Which father among you would give a snake to your child if the child asked for a fish? If a child asked for an egg, what father would give the child a scorpion? 13If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?" Controversy over Beelzebul 14 Jesus was throwing out a demon that causes muteness. When the demon was gone, the man who couldn't speak began to talk. The crowds were amazed. 15 But some of them said, “He throws out demons with the authority of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons." 16Others were testing him, seeking a sign from heaven.
