20. Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been written in the heavens.”
21. In that very hour, He was overjoyed in the Ruach ha-Kodesh and said, “I praise You, Father, Master of the universe, that You have hidden these things from the wise and discerning and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was pleasing to You.
22. All things have been handed over to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”
23. Then turning to the disciples, He said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!
24. For I tell you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you are seeing yet did not see, and to hear what you are hearing yet did not hear.”
25. Now a certain Torah lawyer stood up to entrap Yeshua, saying, “Teacher, what should I do to gain eternal life?”
26. Then Yeshua said to him, “What has been written in the Torah? How do you read it?”
27. And he replied, “You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
28. Yeshua said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.”
29. But wanting to vindicate himself, he said to Yeshua, “Then who is my neighbor?”
30. Yeshua replied, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He was attacked by robbers, who stripped him and beat him. Then they left, abandoning him as half dead.
31. And by chance, a kohen was going down that road; but when he saw the man, he passed by on the opposite side.
32. Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side.
33. But a Samaritan who was traveling came upon him; and when he noticed the man, he felt compassion.
