Jesus Rejoices
NARRATOR.
It was then that Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said:
JESUS.
I thank you Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, that you have hidden these things from the learned and the clever and have revealed
them to mere children. Yes, Father, for this is what seemed good in your sight. My Father has entrusted everything to me. No man
knows who the Son is except the Father. Just as no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to
reveal Him.
NARRAATOR.
Then turning to his disciples he said to them privately:
JESUS.
Happy are the eyes that see the things you are seeing. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see,
and never saw them; to hear what those things you hear, and have never heard them.' Come to me, all of you who labor and are over
burdened and I will give you rest. Place my yoke on your shoulders and learn of me. For I am meek and humble in heart and you will
find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:25-30; Luke 10:21-24

NARRATOR.
Now a lawyer there stood up and trying to put Jesus to the test said:
LAWYER.
Master, what do I have to do to gain eternal life?
JESUS.
What is written in the Law? What do you read there?
LAWYER.
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and your neighbor as yourself.
JESUS.
You have answered correctly, do this and you will live.
NARRATOR.
But the man, anxious to justify himself, said to Jesus:
LAWYER.
And who is my neighbor?
JESUS.
There was once a man, who, on his way from Jerusalem to Jericho, fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of all his clothes,
beat him up and made off, leaving him half dead. Now a Priest happened to be traveling down the same road, but when he saw him,
he passed by on the other side. And likewise, a Levite, when he came to that place and saw him, passed by on the other side of the
road also.
However, a Samaritan, as he was walking, came to where the man was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion for him.
He went to him, bandaged up his wounds, and poured oil and wine on them. He then lifted him up and set him on his own beast,
brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day as he was leaving, he took out two denarii, handed them to the innkeeper
and said to him, 'Take care of him, if you spend anymore then what I've given you, I'll reimburse you on my way back.' Which one of
these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?
LAWYER.
