18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
-
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
-
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
-
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
-
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
