Luke 10
1 Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy-two others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he was about to come.
2 And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.
Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
3 Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
Go your way. Look, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4 Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.
Carry no money bag, nor pack, nor sandals; and greet no one on the way.
5 And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.
Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'
6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.
If a peaceful person is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7 And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8 And into whatever town you go, if they take you in, take whatever food is given to you:
Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9 And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.
Heal the sick who are in it, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.'
10 But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,
But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.
'Even the dust from your city that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God is near.'
12 I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town.
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13 A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.
"Woe to you, Chorazin. Woe to you, Beit Tzaidah. For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
And you, Kfar-Nahum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Sheol. (Hadēs g86)
16 Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me.
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
17 And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.
The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name."
18 And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star.
He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.
Look, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt you.
20 Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
21 In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.
In that same hour he rejoiced in the Ruach ha-Kodesh, and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."
22 All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.
"All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."
23 And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:
Turning to the talmidim, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
24 For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.
for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them."
25 And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
And look, a certain Law scholar stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
26 And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?
He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How do you read it?"
27 And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.
He answered, "You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
28 And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.
He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."
29 But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Yeshua, "Who is my neighbor?"
30 And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.
Yeshua answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.
By chance a certain cohen was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,
But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34 And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.
On the next day, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.'
36 Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"
37 And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.
He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Yeshua said to him, "Go and do likewise."
38 Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.
It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him.
39 And she had a sister, by name Mary, who took her seat at the Lord's feet and gave attention to his words.
She had a sister called Miriam, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."
41 But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things:
But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.
but one thing is needed. Miriam has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
