路加福音 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
差遣门徒
10 事后,主拣选了七十个门徒[a],差遣他们两个两个地出去,先到祂将要去的城镇村庄, 2 并对他们说:“要收割的庄稼很多,工人却很少,因此你们要祈求庄稼的主人派更多的工人去收割祂的庄稼。
3 “你们去吧!我差你们出去,就像把羊羔送入狼群。 4 钱袋、背包和鞋都不要带,在路上也不要与人寒暄。 5 无论到哪一户人家,要先说,‘愿祝福临到这家!’ 6 如果那里有配得祝福的人,祝福自然会临到那人,否则祝福仍归给你们。 7 不要搬来搬去,要固定住在一家,接受那家的款待,因为工人理应得到工钱。
8 “你们无论到哪一个城镇,如果人们接待你们,就吃他们摆上的饮食。 9 要医治那城里的病人,告诉他们,‘上帝的国临近你们了。’ 10 但如果哪一个城镇的人不欢迎你们,你们就到街上宣告, 11 ‘就连你们城里的尘土粘在我们脚上,我们都要跺掉,但是要知道,上帝的国临近了。’ 12 我告诉你们,在审判之日,那城所受的刑罚将比所多玛所受的还重!
13 “哥拉汛啊,你大祸临头了!伯赛大啊,你大祸临头了!我在你们当中所行的神迹,如果行在泰尔和西顿,那里的人早就身披麻衣,头蒙灰尘,坐在地上悔改了。 14 在审判之日,你们将比泰尔和西顿受更重的刑罚!
15 “迦百农啊,你将被提升到天上吗?不!你将被打落到阴间。”
16 耶稣继续对门徒说:“谁听从你们,就是听从我;谁拒绝你们,就是拒绝我;拒绝我的,就是拒绝差我来的那位。”
17 七十个门徒兴高采烈地回来说:“主啊,我们奉你的名行事,甚至降服了鬼魔。”
18 耶稣回答说:“我看见撒旦像闪电一样从天上坠下。 19 我已经给你们权柄,使你们能践踏蛇和蝎子,胜过仇敌的权势,没有什么能伤害你们。 20 然而,不要为了邪灵向你们降服而高兴,要因你们的名字记录在天上而高兴。”
21 就在这时候,耶稣受圣灵感动,充满喜乐地说:“父啊,天地的主,我颂赞你!因为你把这些事向聪明、有学问的人隐藏起来,却启示给像孩童一般的人。父啊!是的,这正是你的美意。 22 我父将一切交给了我。除了父,没有人认识子;除了子和受子启示的人,没有人认识父。”
23 随后,耶稣转身悄悄地对门徒说:“谁看到你们今日所看到的,谁就有福了。 24 我告诉你们,以前有许多先知和君王渴望看见你们所看见的,听见你们所听见的,却未能如愿。”
好撒玛利亚人的比喻
25 有一次,一名律法教师站起来试探耶稣,说:“老师,我应该怎样做才能得永生呢?”
26 耶稣反问他:“律法怎么说?你怎么理解?”
27 律法教师答道:“‘你要全心、全情、全力、全意爱主——你的上帝’,又要‘爱邻如己’。” 28 耶稣说:“你答得对,照着去做就有永生了。”
29 律法教师想证明自己有理,就问:“那么,谁是我的邻居呢?”
30 耶稣回答说:“有个人从耶路撒冷去耶利哥,途中被劫。强盗剥了他的衣服,把他打个半死,丢在那里,然后扬长而去。
31 “刚好有位祭司经过,看见那人躺在地上,连忙从旁边绕过,继续赶路。 32 又有个利未人经过,也跟先前那个祭司一样从旁边绕过去了。
33 “后来,有位撒玛利亚人[b]经过,看见这个人,就动了慈心, 34 连忙上前用油和酒替他敷伤口,包扎妥当,然后把他扶上自己骑的牲口,带到附近的客店照料。 35 次日还交给店主两个银币,说,‘请替我好好照顾这个人。如果钱不够的话,等我回来再补给你。’ 36 那么,你认为这三个人中谁是被劫者的邻居呢?”
37 律法教师说:“是那个同情他的人。”
耶稣说:“你去照样做吧。”
上好的福分
38 耶稣和门徒去耶路撒冷的途中路过一个村庄,遇到一位名叫玛大的女子接待他们到家里作客。 39 玛大的妹妹玛丽亚坐在耶稣脚前听道, 40 玛大为了招待客人忙乱不已,于是上前对耶稣说:
“主啊,我妹妹让我一个人伺候大家,你都不管吗?请你叫她来帮帮我吧。”
41 耶稣对她说:“玛大,玛大,你为太多事情忧虑烦恼。 42 其实最要紧的事只有一件,玛丽亚选择了上好的,是夺不走的。”
Luke 10
King James Version
10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke 10
English Standard Version
Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two
10 After this the Lord appointed (A)seventy-two[a] others and (B)sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 (C)And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. (D)Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; (E)behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 (F)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and (G)greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, (H)‘Peace be to this house!’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, (I)it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for (J)the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, (K)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 (L)‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that (M)the kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, (N)it will be more bearable on (O)that day for Sodom than for that town.
Woe to Unrepentant Cities
13 (P)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in (Q)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 (R)But it will be more bearable in the judgment for (S)Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, (T)will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to (U)Hades.
16 (V)“The one who hears you hears me, and (W)the one who rejects you rejects me, and (X)the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
The Return of the Seventy-Two
17 (Y)The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, (Z)even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18 And he said to them, (AA)“I saw Satan (AB)fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority (AC)to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of (AD)the enemy, and (AE)nothing shall hurt you. 20 (AF)Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that (AG)your names are written in heaven.”
Jesus Rejoices in the Father's Will
21 (AH)In that same hour (AI)he rejoiced (AJ)in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, (AK)Lord of heaven and earth, that (AL)you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and (AM)revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for (AN)such was your gracious will.[b] 22 (AO)All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is (AP)except the Father, or who the Father is (AQ)except the Son and anyone (AR)to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23 Then turning to the disciples he said privately, (AS)“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 24 For I tell you (AT)that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 (AU)And behold, a (AV)lawyer stood up to (AW)put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to (AX)inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, (AY)“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and (AZ)your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; (BA)do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, (BB)desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man (BC)was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a (BD)priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise (BE)a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a (BF)Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and (BG)bound up his wounds, pouring on (BH)oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two (BI)denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
Martha and Mary
38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus[d] entered a village. And a woman named (BJ)Martha (BK)welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called (BL)Mary, who (BM)sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are (BN)anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary.[e] Mary has chosen (BO)the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

Jesus sänder ut sjuttiotvå lärjungar
(Matt 11:21-24)
10 Herren Jesus utsåg nu ytterligare sjuttiotvå lärjungar[a], som han skickade i förväg, två och två, till alla städer och byar som han tänkte besöka.
2 Han sa till dem: ”Skörden är stor, men arbetarna är få. Be därför skördens Herre att han skickar ut fler arbetare på fälten. 3 Gå nu, jag sänder er som lamm in bland vargar. 4 Ta inte med er någon börs, någon väska och några skor. Och stanna inte på vägen för att hälsa på någon.
5 När ni kommer in i ett hus så önska familjen frid. 6 Om det då finns någon fridens man där, ska er frid stanna kvar där. Annars får ni den tillbaka. 7 Stanna sedan i det huset och låt dem bjuda er på mat och dryck, för arbetaren är värd sin lön. Flytta inte från hus till hus.
8 När ni kommer in i en stad där man välkomnar er, så ät vad man bjuder er på, 9 bota de sjuka och säg till folket: ’Guds rike har kommit nära er.’ 10 Men om ni kommer till en stad där man inte vill ta emot er, så gå ut på gatorna och säg: 11 Till och med dammet från era gator vill vi skaka av från våra fötter mot er. Men en sak ska ni veta: Guds rike har kommit nära. 12 Jag säger er, att det ska bli lättare för Sodom[b] på den dagen än en sådan stad.
13 Ve dig, Korasin, och ve dig, Betsaida! För om de under som gjorts hos er hade gjorts i Tyros och Sidon[c], hade de för länge sedan omvänt sig och suttit i säck och aska. 14 Men på domens dag ska både Tyros och Sidon få det lindrigare än ni. 15 Och du, Kafarnaum, du ska väl inte bli upphöjt till himlen? Nej, ner till dödsriket ska du störtas.
16 Den som lyssnar till er, han lyssnar till mig, och den som avvisar er, han avvisar mig. Men den som avvisar mig, han avvisar honom som har sänt mig.”
De sjuttiotvå kommer tillbaka
(Matt 11:25-27; 13:16-17)
17 De sjuttiotvå kom sedan glada tillbaka och berättade: ”Herre, till och med de onda andarna lyder oss i ditt namn.”
18 Han sa till dem: ”Jag såg Satan falla ner från himlen som en blixt. 19 Jag har gett er makt att trampa på ormar och skorpioner och stå emot fiendens alla styrkor. Inget ska skada er. 20 Men gläd er inte över att de onda andarna lyder er, utan över att era namn är skrivna i himlen.[d]”
21 I samma stund fylldes Jesus av innerlig glädje genom den heliga Anden och sa: ”Jag prisar dig, Fader, du som är Herre över himlen och jorden, för att du har dolt detta för de lärda och kloka, men visat det för dem som är som barn. Ja, Fader, så har du bestämt.
22 Min Fader har överlämnat allt åt mig. Ingen vet vem Sonen är, utom Fadern, och ingen vet vem Fadern är, utom Sonen och de som Sonen vill uppenbara honom för.”
23 Sedan vände han sig till lärjungarna och sa enbart till dem: ”Lyckliga är de ögon som får se vad ni ser. 24 Jag säger er, att många profeter och kungar har velat se och höra det som ni nu får se och höra, men de fick aldrig göra det.”
Den goda samariern
(Matt 22:34-40; Mark 12:28-31)
25 En dag kom en laglärd för att sätta dit Jesus genom en fråga. Han sa: ”Mästare, vad ska jag göra för att få evigt liv?”
26 Jesus svarade: ”Vad säger lagen? Vad kan du läsa där?”
27 Mannen svarade: ” ’Du ska älska Herren, din Gud, av hela ditt hjärta, av hela din själ, av hela din kraft och av hela ditt förstånd’, och: ’Du ska älska din medmänniska som dig själv.’ ”[e]
28 ”Det är riktigt”, sa Jesus till honom. ”Gör det så ska du få leva!”
29 Men mannen, som gärna ville visa sin rättfärdighet, frågade Jesus: ”Vem är då min medmänniska?”
30 Jesus svarade: ”En man, som var på väg från Jerusalem till Jeriko, blev överfallen av banditer. De slet av honom kläderna och misshandlade honom, gick därifrån och lämnade honom där halvdöd.
31 Då råkade en präst komma förbi. Men när han såg mannen ligga där gick han bara åt sidan och fortsatte att gå. 32 Så kom också en levit till platsen och såg mannen, och även han gick bara åt sidan och fortsatte att gå.
33 Då kom en samarier, som också var på resa, och när han såg mannen fylldes han av medlidande. 34 Samariern gick fram till honom, hällde olja och vin på såren och förband dem. Sedan lyfte han upp mannen på sin åsna och förde honom till ett värdshus, där han skötte om honom. 35 Nästa dag, när han måste resa vidare, betalade han värdshusvärden två denarer[f] och sa: ’Var snäll och ta hand om mannen, och om räkningen går på mer än det här, så ska jag betala resten när jag kommer tillbaka.’
36 Vilken av dessa tre tycker du var den misshandlade mannens medmänniska?”
37 ”Den som visade barmhärtighet naturligtvis”, svarade den laglärde.
Då sa Jesus: ”Gå iväg och gör likadant, du också.”
Jesus besöker Maria och Marta
38 När Jesus och hans lärjungar fortsatte sin vandring, kom de till en by, där de blev inbjudna av en kvinna som hette Marta. 39 Marta hade en syster som hette Maria, som slog sig ner vid Herrens fötter och lyssnade till hans tal.
40 Men Marta var stressad av allt hon hade att uträtta. Därför gick hon fram till Jesus och sa: ”Herre, bryr du dig inte om att min syster har lämnat mig till att göra allt arbete själv? Säg till henne att hon kommer och hjälper mig.”
41 Men Herren sa till henne: ”Marta, Marta, du gör dig så många bekymmer och oroar dig för så mycket! 42 Men det finns bara en sak som behövs. Maria har valt det som är bäst, och det ska inte tas ifrån henne.”

New International Version
Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two(A)(B)(C)
10 After this the Lord(D) appointed seventy-two[a] others(E) and sent them two by two(F) ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.(G) 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.(H) 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.(I) 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
5 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages.(J) Do not move around from house to house.
8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.(K) 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God(L) has come near to you.’ 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you.(M) Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’(N) 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom(O) than for that town.(P)
13 “Woe to you,(Q) Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth(R) and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum,(S) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[b]
16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”(T)
17 The seventy-two(U) returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”(V)
18 He replied, “I saw Satan(W) fall like lightning from heaven.(X) 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes(Y) and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”(Z)
21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.(AA) Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father.(AB) No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”(AC)
23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”(AD)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan(AE)
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(AF)
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c];(AG) and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]”(AH)
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”(AI)
29 But he wanted to justify himself,(AJ) so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.(AK) 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan,(AL) as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
At the Home of Martha and Mary
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha(AM) opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary,(AN) who sat at the Lord’s feet(AO) listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care(AP) that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried(AQ) and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[f](AR) Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
