Aug 20, 2023. Gospel Luke 10:23-37. Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost.

Luke 10:23-37 “10:23. And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see. 10:24. For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them. 10:25. And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? 10:26. But he said to him: What is written in the law? How readest thou? 10:27. He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with all thy strength” “and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself. 10:28. And he said to him: Thou hast answered right. This do: and thou shalt live. 10:29. But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour? 10:30. And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who also stripped him and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead. 10:31. And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by. 10:32. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. 10:33. But a certain Samaritan, being on his journey, came near him: and seeing him, was moved with compassion: 10:34. And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 10:35. And the next day he took out two pence and gave to the host and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend” “over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee. 10:36. Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers? 10:37. But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.” Excerpt From The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete Anonymous https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-bible-douay-rheims-complete/id955129088 This material may be protected by copyright.
