5 Whatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest on him; but, if not, it shall return upon you.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7 And in that house remain, eating and drinking what they have to give; for the laborer is worthy of his hire; go not from house to house.
And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things that are with them. For the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not choose to pass from house to house.
8 And whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you;
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them: The kingdom of God has come near to you.
And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 But whatever city you enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of it, and say:
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11 Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us, we do wipe off against you; yet know this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you.
‘Even the dust which clings to us from your city, we wipe away against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
12 I say to you, It shall be more tolerable, in that day, for Sodom, than for that city.

13 Alas for thee, Chorazin! alas for thee, Bethsaida! for, if the mighty works which have been done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that have been wrought in you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in haircloth and ashes.
14 But for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment, than for you.
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.

16 He that hears you, hears me; and he that rejects you, rejects me; and he that rejects me, rejects him that sent me.
Whoever hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
17 And the seventy returned with joy, and said: Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.

20 However, rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
Yet truly, do not choose to rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said: I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes; even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
In the same hour, he exulted in the Holy Spirit, and he said: “I confess to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. It is so, Father, because this way was pleasing before you.
22 All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

28 He said to him: You have answered correctly; do this, and you shall live.
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”

30 And Jesus answered and said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among; robbers, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
Then 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.
31 And by chance a certain priest went down along that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.

34 And he went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and he put him on his own beast, and carried him to an inn, and took care of him.
And 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.
35 And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him: Take care of him; and whatever you spend more, on my return, I will repay you.
And 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.’
36 Which, then, of these three do you think was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?
Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 He replied: He that showed mercy to him. Jesus said to him: Go, and do you likewise.
Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
38 And it came to pass, as they continued their journey, that he entered a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
Now it happened that, while they were traveling, he entered into a certain town. And a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her home.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the feet of Jesus, and heard his word.
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
40 But Martha made herself busy with much serving; and she came to him, and said: Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her, therefore, that she help me.
Now Martha was continually busying herself with serving. And she stood still and said: “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her, so that she may help me.”
41 But Jesus answered and said to her: Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things:
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
42 one thing is needful; and Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
