Jonah 1:1–2:1-2, 11
1And the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying: 2Rise and go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach in it. For its malice has ascended before my eyes.
Psalm 2
3And he said: “I cried out to the Lord from my tribulation, and he heeded me. From the belly of hell, I cried out, and you heeded my voice. 4And you have thrown me into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood has encircled me. All your whirlpools and your waves have passed over me. 5And I said: I am expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again. 6The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head. 7I descended to the base of the mountains. The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever. And you will raise up my life from corruption, Lord, my God. 8When my soul was in anguish within me, I called to mind the Lord, so that my prayer might come to you, to your holy temple.
Luke 10:25-37
25And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?” 26But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” 27In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.” 29But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive. 31And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by. 32And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by. 33But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy. 34And approaching him, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. And setting him on his pack animal, he brought him to an inn, and he took care of him. 35And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: ‘Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.’ 36Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?” 37Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
