* Then a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him . "Master ," he said "what shall I do to inherit eternal life ?" * And he said to him . "What is written in the Law ? What do you read there ?" * "You must love the Lord your God ," he answered , with all your heart , and with all your soul , and with all your strength , and with all your with all your mind ; and your neighbor as yourself ." * "You have answered right ," said Jesus "do that and you shall live ." * But he , determined to justify himself , said to Jesus , "But who is my neighbor ?" Jesus answered . * "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho , when he fell among bandits who both stripped him and beat him , and went off leaving him half dead . * "Now a certain priest chanced to be going down that way , but on seeing him he passed on the other side . * "In like manner also a Levite who came to the spot , came and looked at him , and passed on the other side . * "But a certain Samaritan , as he journeyed , came where he was , and when he saw him was moved with compassion . * "He went to him bound up his wounds , pouring on them oil and wine . He set him on his own beast , and took him to an inn , and took care of him . * "The next day he took two silver pieces and gave them to the landlord and said , "Take care of him , and whatever more you spend I will repay it to you on my way back . * "Which then of these three seems to you to have behaved like a neighbor to the man who fell among bandits ?" * He replied , "The one who showed mercy on him ." "Go , then ," said Jesus , "and do likewise ." * It happened as they went on their way that he entered into a certain village were a woman named Martha received him into her house . * She had a sister named Mary , who after seating herself at the Lords feet was listening to his teaching . * But Martha meanwhile was growing distracted about much serving . She came up to him and said . "Lord do you not care that my sister has left me alone to do the serving ? Come tell her to take hold of her end of the work along with me ." * "Martha , Martha ," said Jesus , "you are anxious and worried about many things , * "only one thing is really necessary . Mary , moreover , has chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her ."
