15 ¶ Samyèl di Sayil: -Se mwen menm Seyè a te voye pou vide lwil sou tèt ou pou ou te ka wa sou pèp Izrayèl la. Koulye a, koute pawòl Seyè a.

Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye di ou: Li pral pini moun Amalèk yo paske yo te kenbe tèt ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo t'ap moute soti peyi Lejip.

Koulye a, leve al atake moun Amalèk yo. W'a pran tou sa ki pou yo, w'a ofri yo bay Seyè a. Ou p'ap gen pitye pou pesonn lakay yo: N'a touye fanm kou gason, timoun ak ti bebe nan tete, ata bèf, mouton, chamo ak bourik.

Sayil rele tout sòlda li yo. Li pase yo enspeksyon lavil Telayim. Te gen desanmil (200.000) sòlda apye ki te moun Izrayèl ak dimil (10.000) sòlda ki te moun Jida.

Lèfini, li desann toupre yonn nan lavil moun Amalèk yo. L' al kache kò li nan yon ravin chèch.

Apre sa, li voye avèti moun Kayen yo: -Wete kò nou! Kite moun Amalèk yo pou kont yo, pou nou pa touye nou ansanm ak yo. Paske nou menm moun Kayen, nou te aji byen ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo t'ap tounen soti nan peyi Lejip la. Se konsa moun Kayen yo pati, yo wete kò yo nan mitan moun Amalèk yo.

Sayil bat moun Amalèk yo depi lavil Avila rive Chou sou bò solèy leve peyi Lejip.

Li pran Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, tou vivan, men li touye tout rès moun yo tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.

Men Sayil ak sòlda li yo pa t' touye Agag. Yo pa t' touye pi bèl mouton yo ni pi bèl bèf yo, ni yo pa t' touye ankenn bèt ki te bon. Men, yo touye tout bèt ki te lèd, tout bèt ki te mèg tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.

10 ¶ Seyè a pale ak Samyèl, li di l' konsa:

11 -Mwen règrèt mwen te fè Sayil wa. Li vire do ban mwen. Li pa fè sa mwen ba li lòd fè. Samyèl pa t' kontan, li fè tout nwit lan ap lapriyè nan pye Seyè a.

12 Nan denmen maten, bonè bonè, li soti al chache Sayil. Yo vin di Samyèl Sayil t' ale lavil Kamèl, kote li fè bati yon moniman pou tèt li, apre sa, li tounen isit, li desann lavil Gilgal.

13 Samyèl al jwenn Sayil. Sayil vin di l' bonjou: -Se pou Seyè a beni ou! Mwen fè tou sa li te ban m' lòd fè.

14 Samyèl mande l': -Ki tout bri mouton ak bèf m'ap tande nan zòrèy mwen konsa?

15 Sayil reponn li: -Anhan! Se bèt sòlda mwen yo pran kay moun Amalèk yo. Yo pran pi bèl mouton yo ak pi bèl bèf yo, yo pa touye yo pou yo te ka ofri yo bay Seyè a, Bondye ou la. Men, yo touye tout rès yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.

16 Samyèl di l' konsa: -Pe bouch ou, tande! Kite m' di ou sa Seyè a te vin di m' lannwit lan. Sayil di li: -Pale non!

17 Samyèl di li: -Atout yon lè ou te rekonèt ou pa t' anyen, jòdi a se pa ou menm ki chèf tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la? Se pa Seyè a menm ki te chwazi ou pou wa pèp Izrayèl la?

18 Li voye ou ale avèk lòd espre pou ou te touye tout moun Amalèk yo, bann moun sa yo k'ap fè sa ki mal, tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye. Se pou ou te goumen ak yo jouk ou te fin touye yo tout.

19 Poukisa ou pa koute sa Seyè a te di ou? Poukisa ou lage kò ou sou sa ou te pran nan men lènmi ou yo, epi ou fè sa ki pa fè Seyè a plezi.

20 Sayil reponn Samyèl li di li: -Mwen fè tou sa Seyè a te di m' fè! Mwen mache dapre lòd li. Mwen pran Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, mwen tounen avè l'. Mwen touye tout rès moun Amalèk yo tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.

21 Men sòlda mwen yo pa t' touye bèl mouton ak pi bèl bèf yo te jwenn nan sa yo te pran lakay lènmi sa yo. Yo pote yo isit la, lavil Gilgal, pou yo te ka ofri yo sou lotèl la bay Seyè a, Bondye ou la.

22 Lè sa a, Samyèl di l' konsa: -Dapre ou, kisa Seyè a pito: yon moun k'ap ofri bèt pou boule nan dife, k'ap fè tout kalite ofrann bèt pou li, osinon yon moun k'ap fè sa li di l' fè a? Konn sa tande! Pito yon moun fè sa Seyè a di l' fè a pase pou l' touye bèt ofri pou Bondye. Pito yon moun soumèt devan Bondye pase pou l' ofri bèl belye chatre pou Seyè a.

23 Dezobeyi Bondye nan sa l' mande ou fè a se menm bagay ak fè maji. Fè tèt di ak Bondye se menm bagay ak sèvi zidòl. Enben, ou voye pawòl Bondye a jete, Seyè a wete ou nan plas wa a, li voye ou jete tou. Li pa gen anyen pou l' wè avè ou ankò!

24 ¶ Sayil reponn li: -Mwen peche, mwen pa fè sa Seyè a te ban m' lòd fè. Mwen pa t' koute pawòl ou te di m' lan. Se pè mwen te pè mesye m' yo kifè m' fè sa yo te vle fè a.

25 Men koulye a, tanpri, padonnen peche m' lan. Tounen avè m' pou m' ka sèvi Seyè a.

26 Samyèl di li: -Non, mwen p'ap tounen avè ou. Paske ou voye pawòl Bondye a jete, Seyè a wete ou nan plas wa a, li voye ou jete tou.

27 Samyèl fè sa li vire pou l' ale, Sayil kenbe rad li, rad la chire.

28 Samyèl di li: -Seyè a rache gouvènman peyi Izrayèl la nan men ou jòdi a. Li rale l' nan men ou. Li pral renmèt li bay yon lòt moun ki pi bon pase ou.

29 Bondye ki wa pèp Izrayèl la pa konn manti, ni li pa konn chanje lide. Se pa moun li ye. Li p'ap chanje pawòl.

30 Sayil reponn li: -Mwen peche, se vre! Men, pa fè m' wont devan tout chèf pèp mwen an, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la. Tounen avè m' pou m' ka fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la.

31 Se konsa Samyèl tounen avèk Sayil, epi Sayil fè sèvis pou Seyè a.

32 ¶ Apre sa, Samyèl di konsa: -Mennen Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, ban mwen. Agag vin jwenn li. Li t'ap tranble tèlman li te pè. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Ala bagay di, mezanmi, se lanmò!

33 Samyèl di li: -Avèk nepe ou, ou te fè anpil manman pèdi pitit yo. Koulye a, nan tout fanm ki sou latè, manman ou pral pèdi pitit pa li tou. Epi li koupe Agag an moso la devan lotèl Seyè a lavil Gilgal.

34 Lèfini, Samyèl desann lavil Rama. Sayil menm moute al lakay li lavil Gibeya.

35 Depi lè sa a, Samyèl pa janm wè wa Sayil ankò jouk li mouri. Men, sa te fè l' lapenn anpil pou Sayil. Seyè a menm te règrèt deske li te fè Sayil wa pèp Izrayèl la.

16 ¶ Seyè a di Samyèl konsa: -Kilè w'a sispann gen lapenn pou Sayil? Se mwen menm ki voye l' jete pou l' pa wa pèp Izrayèl la ankò. Plen ti poban ou lan lwil. Leve ou ale. M'ap voye ou lavil Betleyèm, kay yon nonm yo rele Izayi, paske mwen chwazi yonn nan pitit gason l' yo pou vin wa.

Samyèl di li: -Ki jan ou vle mwen fè bagay konsa? Si Sayil vin konn sa, l'a touye m'. Seyè a reponn li: -Pran yon jenn ti gazèl avè ou, epi w'a di: Mwen vin fè yon sèvis ofrann bèt pou Seyè a.

W'a envite Izayi nan sèvis la. Mwen menm, m'a di ou sa pou ou fè. W'a mete moun m'a di ou la apa pou sèvi wa devan m'.

Samyèl fè tou sa Seyè a te di l' fè a. L' ale lavil Betleyèm. Chèf ki reskonsab lavil yo vin kontre l'. Yo tout te gen kè sote. Yo di l' konsa: -Eske se pou byen nou ou vin isit la?

Samyèl di: -Wi se pou byen nou. Mwen vin fè yon sèvis ofrann bèt pou Seyè a. Ale mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye. Apre sa, n'a vin avè m' nan sèvis la. Li te mande Izayi ansanm ak pitit li yo pou yo te mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye tou. Lèfini, li envite yo nan sèvis ofrann bèt la tou.

¶ Lè yo rive, Samyèl wè Eliyab, yonn nan pitit gason Izayi yo, li di nan kè l': -Nèg sa a ki kanpe devan lotèl la, sèten se li menm Seyè a chwazi.

Men Granmèt la di l': -Pa gade sou bèl aparans li, ni sou bèl wotè li. Paske mwen mete l' sou kote. Mwen pa jije valè yon moun jan lèzòm fè l' la. Lèzòm gade sou sa ki parèt devan je yo. Men, mwen menm mwen gade sa ki nan kè moun.

Apre sa, Izayi fè rele Abinadab, yon lòt nan pitit gason l' yo, li mennen l' bay Samyèl. Men, Samyèl di: -Sa a tou, se pa li Seyè a chwazi.

Izayi fè mennen Chama devan Samyèl. Men, Samyèl di: -Sa a tou, se pa li Seyè a chwazi.

10 Konsa konsa, Izayi te mennen sèt nan pitit gason l' yo bay Samyèl. Epi Samyèl di Izayi konsa: -Non, Seyè a pa chwazi yonn ladan yo.

11 Lè sa a, Samyèl di Izayi ankò: -Se tout pitit gason ou yo sa? Ou pa gen lòt? Izayi reponn: -Wi, mwen gen yon ti dènye. Men, l' al mennen mouton m' yo al nan manje. Samyèl di li: -Voye chache l', paske nou p'ap konmanse sèvis la tout tan li pa vini.

12 Se konsa Izayi voye chache ti nonm lan. Yo mennen l' vini. Se te yon jenn gason ak bèl ti je, cheve l' te yon ti koulè kannèl, li te gen bèl figi. Seyè a di Samyèl: -Men li! Kanpe non, vide lwil sou tèt li.

13 Samyèl pran ti poban lwil la, li vide l' sou tèt David, la devan tout frè li yo. Lamenm Lespri Seyè a desanm sou David. Depi jou sa a, li pa t' janm kite l'. Apre sa, Samyèl leve, li tounen lavil Rama.

14 ¶ Lespri Seyè a te kite Sayil, epi Seyè a voye yon move lespri sou li ki t'ap toumante l'.

15 Moun k'ap sèvi Sayil yo di l' konsa: -Gade! Ou konnen Seyè a voye yon move lespri sou ou k'ap toumante ou!

16 Mèt, annik pase yon lòd, epi nou menm ki la avè ou, n'a chache yon moun ki konn jwe gita. Konsa, chak fwa move lespri a va vin sou ou, moun lan va jwe pou ou, epi w'a santi yon soulajman.

17 Sayil di moun k'ap sèvi l' yo: -Al chache yon moun ki konn jwe mizik mennen ban mwen.

18 Yonn nan mesye yo di konsa: -Izayi, moun lavil Betleyèm lan, gen yon pitit gason ki konn jwe mizik. Se yon vanyan gason, yon bon sòlda ki gen bon pawòl nan bouch li. Lèfini, li byen kanpe. Seyè a avèk li.

19 Se konsa Sayil voye kèk mesaje bò kote Izayi pou di li: -Voye David, pitit gason ou ki konn okipe mouton ou yo, ban mwen.

20 Izayi pran yon veso plen diven, yon jenn ti kabrit ak yon bourik chaje pen, li bay David pou renmèt Sayil. Epi li voye a al jwenn wa a.

21 Se konsa David al jwenn Sayil ki pran l' pou sèvi l'. Sayil te vin renmen David anpil. Li pran l' pou pote zam li yo.

22 Sayil voye di Izayi konsa: -Tanpri, kite David rete avè m'. Mwen renmen l' anpil.

23 Depi lè sa a, chak fwa move lespri Bondye te voye a desann sou Sayil, David pran gita a epi li tonbe jwe. Lè konsa, move lespri a kite l', epi Sayil te soulaje, li te santi l' byen ankò.

The Lord Rejects Saul as King

15 Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint(A) you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites(B) for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally(C) destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

So Saul summoned the men and mustered them at Telaim—two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand from Judah. Saul went to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the ravine. Then he said to the Kenites,(D) “Go away, leave the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.

Then Saul attacked the Amalekites(E) all the way from Havilah to Shur,(F) near the eastern border of Egypt. He took Agag(G) king of the Amalekites alive,(H) and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword. But Saul and the army spared(I) Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves[b] and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.

10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 “I regret(J) that I have made Saul king, because he has turned(K) away from me and has not carried out my instructions.”(L) Samuel was angry,(M) and he cried out to the Lord all that night.

12 Early in the morning Samuel got up and went to meet Saul, but he was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel.(N) There he has set up a monument(O) in his own honor and has turned and gone on down to Gilgal.”

13 When Samuel reached him, Saul said, “The Lord bless you! I have carried out the Lord’s instructions.”

14 But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?”

15 Saul answered, “The soldiers brought them from the Amalekites; they spared the best of the sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the Lord your God, but we totally destroyed the rest.”

16 “Enough!” Samuel said to Saul. “Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.”

“Tell me,” Saul replied.

17 Samuel said, “Although you were once small(P) in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel. 18 And he sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; wage war against them until you have wiped them out.’ 19 Why did you not obey the Lord? Why did you pounce on the plunder(Q) and do evil in the eyes of the Lord?”

20 “But I did obey(R) the Lord,” Saul said. “I went on the mission the Lord assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king. 21 The soldiers took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was devoted to God, in order to sacrifice them to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”

22 But Samuel replied:

“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
    as much as in obeying the Lord?
To obey is better than sacrifice,(S)
    and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,(T)
    and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.
Because you have rejected(U) the word of the Lord,
    he has rejected you as king.”

24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned.(V) I violated(W) the Lord’s command and your instructions. I was afraid(X) of the men and so I gave in to them. 25 Now I beg you, forgive(Y) my sin and come back with me, so that I may worship the Lord.”

26 But Samuel said to him, “I will not go back with you. You have rejected(Z) the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you as king over Israel!”

27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe,(AA) and it tore.(AB) 28 Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn(AC) the kingdom(AD) of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you.(AE) 29 He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie(AF) or change(AG) his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”

30 Saul replied, “I have sinned.(AH) But please honor(AI) me before the elders of my people and before Israel; come back with me, so that I may worship the Lord your God.” 31 So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the Lord.

32 Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag king of the Amalekites.”

Agag came to him in chains.[c] And he thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”

33 But Samuel said,

“As your sword has made women childless,
    so will your mother be childless among women.”(AJ)

And Samuel put Agag to death before the Lord at Gilgal.

34 Then Samuel left for Ramah,(AK) but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah(AL) of Saul. 35 Until the day Samuel(AM) died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned(AN) for him. And the Lord regretted(AO) that he had made Saul king over Israel.

Samuel Anoints David

16 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn(AP) for Saul, since I have rejected(AQ) him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil(AR) and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse(AS) of Bethlehem. I have chosen(AT) one of his sons to be king.”

But Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.”

The Lord said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show(AU) you what to do. You are to anoint(AV) for me the one I indicate.”

Samuel did what the Lord said. When he arrived at Bethlehem,(AW) the elders of the town trembled(AX) when they met him. They asked, “Do you come in peace?(AY)

Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate(AZ) yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.

When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab(BA) and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.”

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance,(BB) but the Lord looks at the heart.”(BC)

Then Jesse called Abinadab(BD) and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” Jesse then had Shammah(BE) pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the Lord chosen this one.” 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all(BF) the sons you have?”

“There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.”(BG)

Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”

12 So he(BH) sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome(BI) features.

Then the Lord said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”

13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed(BJ) him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord(BK) came powerfully upon David.(BL) Samuel then went to Ramah.

David in Saul’s Service

14 Now the Spirit of the Lord had departed(BM) from Saul, and an evil[d] spirit(BN) from the Lord tormented him.(BO)

15 Saul’s attendants said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you. 16 Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the lyre.(BP) He will play when the evil spirit from God comes on you, and you will feel better.”

17 So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.”

18 One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse(BQ) of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior.(BR) He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the Lord is with(BS) him.”

19 Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.(BT) 20 So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread,(BU) a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul.

21 David came to Saul and entered his service.(BV) Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers. 22 Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Allow David to remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”

23 Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit(BW) would leave him.

25 ¶ Yon dirèktè lalwa vin rive. Pou l' pran Jezi nan pèlen li di l' konsa: Mèt, kisa pou m' fè pou m' resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an?

26 Jezi di li: Kisa ki ekri nan lalwa? Ki jan ou konprann li?

27 Nonm lan reponn: Se pou ou renmen Mèt la, Bondye ou, ak tout kè ou, ak tout nanm ou, ak tout fòs kouraj ou, ak tout lide ou. Se pou renmen frè parèy ou tankou ou renmen pwòp tèt pa ou.

28 Jezi di li: Ou byen reponn. Si ou fè sa, wa gen lavi.

29 Men, dirèktè lalwa a te vle bay tèt li rezon, kifè li mande Jezi: Ki moun ki frè parèy mwen?

30 Jezi reponn li konsa: Vwala, yon nonm t'ap desann soti Jerizalèm, li tapral Jeriko. Kèk ansasen atake l', yo vòlò ata rad ki te sou li, yo bat li byen bat, yo kite li twaka (3/4) mò.

31 Lè sa a, yon prèt vin ap desann sou menm wout la, li wè nonm lan, men li janbe lòt bò wout la, li al fè wout li.

32 Konsa tou, yon moun Levi vin ap pase menm kote a, li rive toupre, li wè nonm lan, men li janbe lòt bò wout la, li al fè wout li.

33 Men, yon moun peyi Samari ki t'ap vwayaje sou menm wout la rive bò kote nonm lan; kè l' fè l' mal lè li wè nonm lan.

34 Li pwoche kote l', li vide lwil ak diven sou blese l' yo, li panse yo. Apre sa, li mete nonm lan sou bèt li te moute a. Li mennen l' nan yon lotèl kote li pran swen li.

35 Nan denmen, li rale kòb nan pòch li, li bay mèt lotèl la, epi li di li: Okipe nonm sa a pou mwen. Lè m' tounen isit la ankò m'a renmèt ou tout depans ou va fè anplis pou li.

36 Apre sa, Jezi di nonm lan: Dapre ou, nan twa moun sa yo, kilès ki te moutre li se frè parèy nonm ki te tonbe nan men ansasen yo?

37 Dirèktè lalwa a reponn: Nonm ki te gen pitye pou li a. Jezi di li: Ale, fè menm bagay la tou.

38 ¶ Jezi al fè wout li ansanm ak disip li yo. Li antre nan yon ti bouk kote yon fanm yo rele Mat resevwa l' lakay li.

39 Mat sa a te gen yon sè yo rele Mari. Mari te chita nan pye mèt la, li t'ap koute pawòl li yo.

40 Mat menm t'ap fatige kò l' ak tout travay ki te pou fèt nan kay la. Lè sa a, li vini, li di: Mèt, sa pa fè ou anyen pou ou wè sè m' lan kite m' ap fè tout travay la pou kont mwen? Manyè di l' ede m' non.

41 Jezi reponn li: Mat, Mat. W'ap trakase tèt ou, w'ap bat kò ou pou yon bann bagay.

42 Men, se yon sèl bagay ki nesesè. Se li Mari chwazi, yo p'ap janm wete l' nan men li.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan(A)

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?”(B)

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’[a];(C) and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b](D)

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”(E)

29 But he wanted to justify himself,(F) 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.(G) 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan,(H) 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[c] 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(I) opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary,(J) who sat at the Lord’s feet(K) 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(L) 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(M) and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[d](N) Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
