Scriptures Luke 10:25-37 “The Parable of the Good Samaritan”

26 β€œWhat is written in the Law?” he replied. β€œHow do you read it?”

27 He answered, β€œβ€˜Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, β€˜Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”

28 β€œYou have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. β€œDo this and you will live.”

29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, β€œAnd who is my neighbor?”

30 In reply Jesus said: β€œA man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.Β 

31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.Β 

32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.Β 

33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.Β 

34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.Β 

35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. β€˜Look after him,’ he said, β€˜and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

36 β€œWhich of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

Character Trait Joy

Take Home Point Jesus wants us to give glory to God

Scriptures Luke 2:1-20

1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.

2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.)

3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,

7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.

9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

10 But the angel said to them, β€œDo not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.

11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 β€œGlory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, β€œLet’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.

17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,

18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”

3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.Β 

4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, β€œZacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 

6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, β€œHe has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, β€œLook, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

9 Jesus said to him, β€œToday salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.”

1 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than Johnβ€”Β 

2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.Β 

3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.

4 Now he had to go through Samaria.Β 

5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.Β 

6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, β€œWill you give me a drink?” 

8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9 The Samaritan woman said to him, β€œYou are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

10 Jesus answered her, β€œIf you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
