On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and should you spend more, I will repay you when I return.’
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

But in answer Jesus said to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and agitated about many things,
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
