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 city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’

13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, 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 in the judgment than for you.
However, for Tyre and Sidon it will be more endurable at the Judgement than for you.

21 In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to 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.

31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

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.

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 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be 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?"

40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore 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 Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
"Martha, Martha," replied Jesus, "you are anxious and worried about a multitude of things;
42 but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, 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."
