)And
on the morrow, as he was departing, he took out of his purse two
denarii, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take great
care of him; and whatever farther expence may be incurred, when I
return, I will repay thee. (36)Which then of these three do you suppose
to be the neighbour of him who fell into the robbers' hands? (37)And he
said, He that shewed mercy towards him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and
do thou exactly the same.
(38)And it came to pass, as they were travelling, that he entered into
a certain village; and a woman, named Martha, received him into her
house. (39)And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting down also at
the feet of Jesus, hearkened to his discourse. (40)But Martha was
hurrying about to provide a large entertainment, and coming up to him,
she said, Lord, is it no concern to thee, that my sister hath left me

loaves; (6)for a friend of mine is come to me off a journey, and I have
nothing to set before him. (7)And he from within answering, shall say,
Give me no farther trouble: my door is already locked, and my children
