Luke 10
1 Now after these things, the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place where He Himself was about to go.
And aftir these thingis the Lord Jhesu ordeynede also othir seuenti and tweyn, and sente hem bi tweyn and tweyn bifor his face in to euery citee and place, whidir he was to come.
2 Then He said to them: “The harvest is indeed great, but the workers are few; therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He may send out workers into His harvest.
And he seide to hem, There is myche ripe corn, and fewe werke men; therfor preie ye the lord of the ripe corn, that he sende werke men in to his ripe corn.
3 “Go! Yes, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
Go ye, lo! Y sende you as lambren among wolues.
4 Do not carry a purse, nor a knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road.
Therfor nyle ye bere a sachel, nethir scrippe, nethir schoon, and greete ye no man bi the weie.
5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
In to what hous that ye entren, first seie ye, Pees to this hous.
6 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you.
And if a sone of pees be there, youre pees schal reste on hym; but if noon, it schal turne ayen to you.
7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking what they offer, because the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
And dwelle ye in the same hous, etynge and drynkynge tho thingis that ben at hem; for a werk man is worthi his hire. Nyle ye passe from hous in to hous.
8 “And into whatever town you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
And in to what euer citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you, ete ye tho thingis that ben set to you;
9 Heal the sick therein and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
and heele ye the sijke men that ben in that citee. And seie ye to hem, The kyngdom of God schal neiye in to you.
10 But into whatever town you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say:
In to what citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you not, go ye out in to the streetis of it,
11 ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to us we wipe off against you. Nonetheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
and seie ye, We wipen of ayens you the poudir that cleued to vs of youre citee; netheles wite ye this thing, that the rewme of God schal come nyy.
12 I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that town.
Y seie to you, that to Sodom it schal be esiere than to that citee in that dai.
13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Wo to thee, Corosayn; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon the vertues hadden be don, whiche han be don in you, sum tyme thei wolden haue sete in heyre and asches, and haue don penaunce.
14 Nevertheless it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Judgment than for you.
Netheles to Tire and Sidon it schal be esiere in the doom than to you.
And thou, Cafarnaum, art enhaunsid `til to heuene; thou schalt be drenchid `til in to helle. (Hadēs g86)
16 “He who listens to you listens to me, and he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects Him who sent me!”
He that herith you, herith me; and he that dispisith you, dispisith me; and he that dispisith me, dispisith hym that sente me.
17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
And the two and seuenti disciplis turneden ayen with ioye, and seiden, Lord, also deuelis ben suget to vs in thi name.
18 So He said to them: “I watched Satan fall like lightning out of heaven.
And he seide to hem, Y saiy Sathnas fallynge doun fro heuene, as leit.
19 Take note, I am giving you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing at all may harm you.
And lo! Y haue youun to you power to trede on serpentis, and on scorpyouns, and on al the vertu of the enemy, and nothing schal anoye you.
20 However, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
Netheles nyle ye ioye on this thing, that spiritis ben suget to you; but ioye ye, that youre names ben writun in heuenes.
21 In that same hour Jesus exulted in His spirit and said: “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to ‘infants’. Yes, Father, because it pleased you to do so.”
In thilk our he gladide in the Hooli Goost, and seide, Y knouleche to thee, fadir, Lord of heuene and of erthe, for thou hast hid these thingis fro wise men and prudent, and hast schewid hem to smale children. Yhe, fadir, for so it pleside bifor thee.
22 And turning to the disciples He said: “All things have been entrusted to me by my Father; also, no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and to whomever the Son may choose to reveal Him.”
Alle thingis ben youun to me of my fadir, and no man woot, who is the sone, but the fadir; and who is the fadir, but the sone, and to whom the sone wole schewe.
23 Then turning to His disciples privately He said: “Blessed are the eyes that are seeing the things that you see;
And he turnede to hise disciplis, and seide, Blessid ben the iyen, that seen tho thingis that ye seen.
24 for I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you are seeing but did not, and to hear what you are hearing but did not.”
For Y seie to you, that many prophetis and kyngis wolden haue seie tho thingis, that ye seen, and thei sayn not; and here tho thingis, that ye heren, and thei herden not.
25 And then, a certain lawyer stood up to test Him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
And lo! a wise man of the lawe ros vp, temptynge hym, and seiynge, Maister, what thing schal Y do to haue euerlastynge lijf? (aiōnios g166)
26 So He said to him: “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?”
And he seide to hym, What is writun in the lawe? hou redist thou?
27 In answer he said: “You shall 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, your neighbor as yourself.”
He answeride, and seide, Thou schalt loue thi Lord God of al thin herte, and of al thi soule, and of alle thi strengthis, and of al thi mynde; and thi neiybore as thi silf.
28 So He said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live!”
And Jhesus seide to hym, Thou hast answerid riytli; do this thing, and thou schalt lyue.
29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
But he willynge to iustifie hym silf, seide to Jhesu, And who is my neiybore?
30 By way of reply Jesus said: “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and as it chanced he ran into robbers, who after having stripped and wounded him, departed, leaving him half dead.
And Jhesu biheld, and seide, A man cam doun fro Jerusalem in to Jerico, and fel among theues, and thei robbiden hym, and woundiden hym, and wente awei, and leften the man half alyue.
31 Now by coincidence a certain priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.
And it bifel, that a prest cam doun the same weie, and passide forth, whanne he hadde seyn hym.
32 So too, a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.
Also a dekene, whanne he was bisidis the place, and saiy him, passide forth.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came by there, and upon seeing him was moved with compassion;
But a Samaritan, goynge the weie, cam bisidis hym; and he siy hym, and hadde reuthe on hym;
34 and going to him he bound up his wounds, applying oil and wine. Then he placed him on his own mount, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
and cam to hym, and boond togidir hise woundis, and helde in oyle and wynne; and leide hym on his beest, and ledde in to an ostrie, and dide the cure of hym.
35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and should you spend more, I will repay you when I return.’
And another dai he brouyte forth twey pans, and yaf to the ostiler, and seide, Haue the cure of hym; and what euer thou schalt yyue ouer, Y schal yelde to thee, whanne Y come ayen.
36 So which of these three, would you say, was ‘neighbor’ to him who ran into the robbers?”
Who of these thre, semeth to thee, was neiybore to hym, that fel among theues?
37 He said, “The one who showed mercy on him.” So Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise!”
And he seide, He that dide merci in to hym. And Jhesus seide to hym, Go thou, and do thou on lijk maner.
38 Now it happened as they traveled that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.
And it was don, while thei wenten, he entride in to a castel; and a womman, Martha bi name, resseyuede hym in to hir hous.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, who actually sat at Jesus' feet listening to His words.
And to this was a sistir, Marie bi name, which also sat bisidis the feet of the Lord, and herde his word.
40 Well Martha was distracted with much serving; so coming up she said: “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Do please tell her to help me!”
But Martha bisiede aboute the ofte seruyce. And sche stood, and seide, Lord, takist thou no kepe, that my sistir hath left me aloone to serue? therfor seie thou to hir, that sche helpe me.
41 But in answer Jesus said to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and agitated about many things,
And the Lord answerde, and seide to hir, Martha, Martha, thou art bysi, and art troublid aboute ful many thingis;
42 but only one is needed. However, Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
but o thing is necessarie. Marie hath chosun the best part, which schal not be takun awei fro hir.
