II. The report which the seventy disciples made to their Master of the success of their negotiation, and his discourse thereupon, Luke 10:17-24. III. Christ’s discourse with a lawyer concerning the way to heaven, and the instructions Christ gave him by a parable to look upon every one as his neighbour whom he had occasion to show kindness to, or receive kindness from, Luke 10:25-37.
