Kai tis esTIN mou pl*e*SIon​?

*and who is my neighbor?*


 *f. 10:30 JESUS ILLUSTRATES FROM THE MAN BEATEN BY THIEVES*

hu-po-laB*O*N [5274] ho I*e*SOUS EIpen,

*:Jesus made answer and said,*

ANthr*o*POS tis kaTEbai-nen aPO Ie-rou-saL*E*M eis Ie-reiCH*O*,

*A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,*

 *E. 10:38-42 MARY AND MARTHA CONTRASTED*

*a. 10:38 THE GRACE OF HOSPITALITY*

En de t*o* poREUes-thai auTOUS, auTOS eiS*E*Lthen eis K*O*m*e*n [2968] tiNA:

*Now as they :went on, HE entered into a certain village:*

guN*E* DE tis, oNOma-ti MARtha, hu-peDExa-to [5264] auTON eis t*e*n oiKIan.

*and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into the house.*


 *b. 10:39 MARTHA'S SISTER*

kai T*E*de *e*n a-delPH*E* ka-louMEn*e* Ma-riAM,

*And SHE had a sister called Mariam,*

h*e* kai pa-ra-ka-thesTHEIsa [3869] pros tous POdas tou KuRIou, *E*kou-en
ton LOgon auTOU.

*who also sat at the feet of the Lord, and heard his :word.*


 *c. 10:40 MARTHA'S COMPLAINT*

h*e* de MARtha pe-ri-eSPAto [4049] peRI polL*E*N di-a-koNIan;

*But Martha was distracted with much serving;*

e-piSTAsa [2186] de, EIpen, KUri-e,

*and she came up, and said, Lord,*

ou MElei soi HOti h*e* a-delPH*E* mou MOn*e*n me kaTElei-pen di-a-koNEIN
[1247]?

*do you not care that my :sister did leave me to serve alone?*

eiPON oun auT*E* HIna moi su-nan-tiLAb*e*-tai [4878].

*bid her therefore that she help me.*


 *d. 10:41-42 MARTHA AND MARY COMPARED*

a-po-kriTHEIS de EIpen auT*E* ho KUri-os, MARtha, MARtha,

*But the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha,*

me-rimNAS [3309] kai tho-ruBAz*e* [5182] peRI polLA:

*you are anxious and troubled about many things: *

oLIg*o*n DE es-tin CHREIa, *e* heNOS: Ma-riAM gar t*e*n a-gaTH*E*N meRIda
e-xeLExa-to [1586],

*42 but few are needful, or one: for Mariam has chosen the good part,*

H*E*tis ouk a-phai-reTH*E*se-tai [861] auT*E*S.

*which shall not be taken from her.*



 *NOTE**: (2010-11-30) - 10:25-27 - * Jesus courteously listened to this
lawyer, and commended him for his answer. I was wondering if possibly this
lawyer had heard Jesus give this same answer on another occasion. In any
event, the answer *was* a good one - even though this individual wanted
further commendation from Jesus. But he really didn't receive that. When he
heard Jesus' explanation of who a good neighbor truly is - a
*Samaritan*over and above a priest and Levite no less - then he
received the clear word
of Jesus - “Go - and YOU do likewise.” I doubt if *that* was the word this
lawyer was hoping to hear!


 10:38-42 - Think about this recording by Luke, and the contrast he makes to
Theophilus between these two sisters. How many of us would have let Mary
continue listening - when poor Martha was so busy all alone? But - with
eternity's values in view - the decision of Jesus *was* the correct
decision!


 Some years ago in Edmonton, Alberta, a sister received a prophetic word in
a “Presbytery context”. It was “Martha, Martha, you are busy over
*many*things, but Mary has chosen the better part, and it
*shall not* be taken from her. Yet the Lord will add to you the spirit of
Mary also, and in this balance you will be more profitable in My Kingdom!”
Fifteen years later she asked the person who gave this Edmonton word to her
- “Do you remember giving this word?” He did not. She then asked - “Did you
know the nick-name my friends gave me in those days? It was *Martha*. But
since that day, God did add to me the 'Mary' spirit, so that I now move in a
balance between these two giftings.” J.A.W.
