11We're wiping off your town's dust that clings to our feet in protest against you! But realize this: the kingdom of God is near!' 11Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.'

If the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 13"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!

21At that moment, the Holy Spirit made Jesus extremely joyful, so Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this is what was pleasing to you. 21At 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. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
22All things have been entrusted to me by my Father.

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."

25Just then an expert in the Law stood up to test Jesus. He asked, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

27He answered, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And you must love your neighbor as yourself." 27He 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'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
28Jesus told him, "You have answered correctly. 'Do this, and you will live.'" 28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
29But the man wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
30After careful consideration, Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. 30In 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.
31By chance, a priest was traveling along that road. When he saw the man, he went by on the other side. 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
32Similarly, a descendant of Levi came to that place. When he saw the man, he also went by on the other side. 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33But as he was traveling along, a Samaritan came across the man. When the Samaritan saw him, he was moved with compassion. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 34He 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.
35The next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take good care of him. If you spend more than that, I'll repay you when I come back.'35The next day he took out two denarii 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"Of these three men, who do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the bandits?"36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
37He said, "The one who showed mercy to him." Jesus told him, "Go and do what he did."37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
38Now as they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 38As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.
39She had a sister named Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and kept listening to what he was saying. 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said.
40But Martha was worrying about all the things she had to do, so she came to him and asked, "Lord, you do care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself, don't you? Then tell her to help me."40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"
41The Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things. 41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things,
42But there's only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her."42but few things are needed--or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
