Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 10
⁴⁰ But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."
⁴¹ And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.
⁴² But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
Luke 11
¹ Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."
² So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
³ Give us day by day our daily bread.
⁴ And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one."
⁵ And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ’Friend, lend me three loaves;
⁶ for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
⁷ and he will answer from within and say, ’Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’?
⁸ I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
