   [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.   
      
   The Rejoicing of Jesus   
   Mt 11:25-27; 13:16-17   
      
   21 (Ps 8:2; Isa 53:11) At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit   
   and said, "I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,   
   because You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent   
   and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for it was Your good pleasure.   
   22 (Jn 1:18; Mt 28:18) "All things have been handed over to Me by My Father.   
   And no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is b   
   ut the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal Him."   
   23 (Mt 13:16-17) Then He turned to His disciples and said privately,   
   "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see.   
   24 (Jn 8:56; Heb 11:13) For I tell you, many prophets and kings have desired   
   to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear,   
   and have not heard it."   
      
   [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.   
      
   The Good Samaritan   
      
   25 (Lk 18:18; 7:30) Now, a lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying,   
   “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”   
   26 He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?"   
   27 (Lev 19:18; Dt 6:5; Mt 19:19) He answered, " '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' (Dt 6:5.)   
   and 'your neighbor as yourself.'(Lev 19:18)."   
   28 (Lev 18:5; Eze 20:11) He said to him, "You have answered correctly.   
   Do this, and you will live."   
   29 (Lk 16:15) But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus,   
   "And who is my neighbour?"   
   30 Jesus answered, "A man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho   
   and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing   
   and wounded him and departed, leaving him half dead.   
   31 By chance a priest came down that way. And when he saw him,   
   he passed by on the other side.   
   32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to that place, looked at him   
   and passed by on the other side.   
   33 (Mt 10:5) But a 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.   
   Then he set him on his own donkey and brought him to an inn,   
   and took care of him.   
   35 The next day when he departed, he took out two denarii   
   (Gk. denarius, a coin worth about a day's wage.)   
   and gave them to the innkeeper and said to him, 'Take care of him.   
   I will repay you whatever else you spend when I return.'   
   36 " ow which of these three do you think was a neighbor to him   
   who fell among the thieves?"   
   37 (2Co 8:9; 1Pe 2:21) He said, "The one who showed mercy on him."   
   Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."   
      
   [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.   
      
   Visiting Martha and Mary   
      
   38 As they went, He entered a village. And a woman named Martha   
   welcomed Him into her house.   
   39 (Lk 8:35; Ac 22:3) She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus'   
   feet and listened to His teaching.   
   40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came to Him and said,   
   "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?   
   Then tell her to help me."   
   41 (Mt 6:25-34) Jesus answered her,   
   "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things.   
   42 (Ps 27:4) But one thing is needed. And Mary has chosen the good part,   
   which shall not be taken from her."   
      
   [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 11:1-13   
      
   Teaching About Prayer   
      
   Mt 6:9-15; 7:7-11   
      
   1 (Lk 9:18) He was praying in a certain place, and when He ceased,   
   one of His disciples said to Him,   
   "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."   
   2 (Ecc 5:2) He said to them, "When you pray, say:   
   Our Father, who is in heaven,   
   hallowed be Your name.   
   Your kingdom come;   
   Your will be done   
   on earth, as it is in heaven.   
   3 (Pr 30:8; Mt 6:34) Give us each day our daily bread.   
   4 (Mt 26:41; 18:35) And forgive us our sins,   
   for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.   
   And lead us not into temptation,   
   but deliver us from evil."   
   5 Then He said to them, "Which of you has a friend and shall go to him   
   at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves,   
   6 for a friend of mine on his journey has come to me,   
   and I have nothing to set before him';   
   7 and he will answer from within, 'Do not trouble me; the door is now shut,   
   and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give you anything'?
