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

And 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.
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.
Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’

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

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.
If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’
But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,

‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’
I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

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.
But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! (Hadēs g86)

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

The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”
So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy 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.

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

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.”

One day an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
“What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ⲉⲕⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧʾ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅. ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲉⲕϭⲟⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅. ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕϩⲉ.
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.’”
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 ⲗ̅ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲣⲓⲭⲱ. ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϫϥ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲁϣ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉϥⲟ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲙⲟⲩ.
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.
Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion.
34 ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲁϣ ⲁϥⲡⲱϩⲧ̅ʾ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲉϩ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲏⲣⲡ̅ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟϥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲡⲉϥⲧⲃ̅ⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲡⲁⲛⲧⲟⲭⲓⲟⲛ ⲁϥϥⲓⲡⲉϥⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ.
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 ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥϯϥⲕⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡ̅ʾⲡⲁⲛⲧⲟⲭⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ϥⲓⲡⲉϥⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲁϫⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁⲛⲕⲧⲟⲓ̈ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲕ.
The next day 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.’
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
“The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲥ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ.
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.
40 ⲙ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲓⲥⲡⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ̅ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲁⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲕⲁⲁⲧʾ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲧʾ ⲉⲓ̈ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ. ⲁϫⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲥⲉⲡⲱϣⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈.
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!”
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.
42 ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲧⲡ̅ʾⲧ̅ʾⲧⲟ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁϥⲓⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ̅ ⲁⲛ·
But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
