And if there is a lover of peace there, your peace shall rest upon it; otherwise come back upon you.

"But whatever town you come to and they will not receive you, go out into the broader streets and say,
11 'Even the dust from your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you! But know this: The kingdom of God has come near.'
"'The very dust of your town that hangs about us we wipe off as a protest. Only be sure of this, that the Kingdom of God is close at hand.'

13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
"Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the miracles been performed in Tyre and Sidon which have been performed in you, long ere now they would have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
However, for Tyre and Sidon it will be more endurable at the Judgement than for you.
15 You, Capernaum, do you think you will be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)

16 The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”

20 Nevertheless do not rejoice only in this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice even more that your names are engraved in heaven.”
Nevertheless rejoice not at this, that the spirits submit to you; but rejoice that your names are registered in Heaven."
21 At that same time he rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you concealed these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to those who are untaught, like little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well pleasing in your sight.”
On that same occasion Jesus was filled by the Holy Spirit with rapturous joy.

Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.

26 Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”

27 He gave an answer and he said, “You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
"'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,'" he replied, "'with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole strength, and thy whole mind; and thy fellow man as much as thyself.'"
28 Jesus said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
"A right answer," said Jesus; "do that, and you shall live."
29 But the teacher, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
But he, desiring to justify himself, said, "But what is meant by my 'fellow man'?"
30 Jesus answered him and said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He fell among robbers, who stripped him of his belongings, and beat him, and left him half dead.

He went to him, and dressed his wounds with oil and wine and bound them up. Then placing him on his own mule he brought him to an inn, where he bestowed every care on him.
35 The next day he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said, 'Take care of him and whatever extra you spend, when I return, I will repay you.'
The next day he took out two shillings and gave them to the innkeeper. "'Take care of him,' he said, 'and whatever further expense you are put to, I will repay it you at my next visit.'
36 Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
"Which of those three seems to you to have acted like a fellow man to him who fell among the robbers?"

"The one who showed him pity," he replied. "Go," said Jesus, "and act in the same way."
38 Now as they were traveling along, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and listened to His teaching.
40 But Martha was overly busy with preparing to serve a meal. She came up to Jesus, and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
Martha meanwhile was busy and distracted in waiting at table, and she came and said, "Master, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do all the waiting? Tell her to assist me."
41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious about many things,
"Martha, Martha," replied Jesus, "you are anxious and worried about a multitude of things;
42 but only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen what is best, which will not be taken away from her.”
and yet only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion and she shall not be deprived of it."
