Luke 10 Summary

Luke 10 includes the parable of the Good Samaritan and the call to love God and neighbor and to choose ‘what is better.’

Jesus sends out seventy-two, then tells of the Good Samaritan, defining ‘neighbor’ as anyone in need and urging mercy in action.

At Mary and Martha’s home, he commends Mary for sitting at his feet—choosing the ‘one thing’ that is needed.
