Luke 10

1 After this, the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.

2 Therefore He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.

3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.

4 Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.

5 Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’

6 If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.

7 Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

8 If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.

9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’

10 But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,

11 ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to us, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near to you.’

12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

15 And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades!

16 Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

17 The seventy returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”

18 So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

19 Behold, I am giving you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.

20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

21 At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.”

22 And turning to the disciples, He said, “All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

23 Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.

24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”

25 One day an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 “What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”

29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

31 Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.

33 But a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, and when he saw him, he had compassion.

34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 The next day when he departed he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’

36 So which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 “The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

38 As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus’ feet listening to His message.

40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” Jesus replied, “you are worried and troubled about many things.

42 But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”

1 ¶ After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

2 Therefore said he unto them, ‹The harvest truly› [is] ‹great, but the labourers› [are] ‹few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.›

3 ‹Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.›

4 ‹Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.›

5 ‹And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace› [be] ‹to this house.›

6 ‹And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.›

7 ‹And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.›

8 ‹And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:›

9 ‹And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.›

10 ‹But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,›

11 ‹Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.›

12 ‹But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.›

13 ‹Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.›

14 ‹But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.›

15 ‹And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.›

16 ‹He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.›

17 ¶ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

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.›

20 ‹Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.›

21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, ‹I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.›

22 ‹All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and› [he] ‹to whom the Son will reveal› [him].

23 And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, ‹Blessed› [are] ‹the eyes which see the things that ye see:›

24 ‹For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen› [them]; ‹and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard› [them].

25 ¶ And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 He said unto him, ‹What is written in the law? how readest thou?›

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.›

31 ‹And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.›

32 ‹And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked› [on him], ‹and passed by on the other side.›

33 ‹But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion› [on him],

34 ‹And went to› [him], ‹and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.›

35 ‹And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave› [them] ‹to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.›

36 ‹Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?›

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, ‹Go, and do thou likewise.›

38 ¶ Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, ‹Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:›

42 ‹But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.›

1 Afterward the LORD separated other seventy, and sent them two and two before him into all the cities and places where he would come.

2 And said unto them: The harvest is great, but the labourer is few: pray the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

3 Go ye your way. Behold, I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves.

4 No bag, nor pocket, nor shoes, and greet no man in the street.

5 Whithersoever ye enter into any house, speak ye first, saying, Peace be in this house.

6 And if there be a child of peace there, your peace shall be upon him: but if not, your peace shall return unto you.

7 But abide in the same house, eating and drinking what they have: for a labourer is worthy of his hire. Ye shall not go from house to house.

8 And when ye come into a city, and they receive you, then eat that which is set before you,

9 And heal the sick which are there, and say unto them: The kingdom of God has come near to you.

10 But if ye enter into any city, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof, and say:

11 Even the dust that clave unto us out of your city, we will smite upon you: but ye shall know that the kingdom of God is nigh unto you.

12 I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.

13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! For if such deeds had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done among you, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented in time past.

14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.

15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be cast down to hell.

16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me: and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

17 And the seventy came again with joy, and said: Lord, even the devils are subject unto us in thy name.

18 And he said unto them: I saw Satan fall from heaven as lightning.

19 Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you.

20 But in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

21 At that hour rejoiced JEsus in spirit, and said: I praise thee, Father and Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: Yea, Father, it was well pleasing in thy sight.

22 All things are delivered unto me of my Father. And no one knows who the Son is but the Father, nor who the Father is but the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal it.

23 And he turned to his disciples, and said in particular, Blessed are the eyes which see those things which ye see.

24 For I say unto you, That many prophets and kings would see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

25 And, behold, a certain scribe arose, and tempted him, saying, Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

26 And he said unto him, How is it written in the law? How readest thou?

27 And he answered and said, Thou shalt love GOD thy LORD 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: do this, and thou shalt live.

29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto JEsu, Who then is my neighbour?

30 Then answered JEsus, and said, There was a certain man which went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among the murderers: and they stripped him, and smote him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And it came to pass about this time, that a priest went down that street: and when he saw him, he passed by.

32 And likewise a Levite: when he came to the place, and saw him, he passed by.

33 And a certain Samaritan journeyed, and came thither: and when he saw him, his lamentation was upon him,

34 And went unto him, and bound up his wounds, and poured oil and wine therein, and lifted him up upon his beast, and brought him to the inn, and nursed him.

35 And the next day he journeyed, and drew out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care; and if thou shalt show any more, I will pay thee when I come again.

36 Which of these three thinkest thou to be next unto him that fell among the murderers?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said JEsus unto him, Go thy way, and do likewise].

38 And it came to pass, as they walked, he went into a market, and there was a woman named Martha, which received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister named Mary, which sat down at JEsu's feet, and heard his sayings.

40 And Martha made much effort to minister unto him. And she came near, and said, Lord, dost thou not ask that my sister should let me serve alone? Tell her, I pray thee, that she also may attack it.

41 And JEsus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou hast much care and trouble.

42 But one thing is needful: for Mary hath purchased the good part; it shall not be taken away from her.
