Luke 10
1 After this, the Lord appointed seventy other disciples, and sent them in pairs to every town and place that he planned to visit.
And after these things, Jesus separated from among his disciples seventy other persons, and sent them, two and two, before his face, to every place and city whither he was to go.
2 “The harvest is large, but the number of workers is small,” he told them. “Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers to his harvest fields.
And he said to them: The harvest is great, and the laborers few: pray ye, therefore, the lord of the harvest that he would send laborers into his harvest.
3 So get on your way: I'm sending you like sheep among wolves.
Go ye: lo, I send you forth, as sheep among wolves.
4 Don't take any money or a bag or extra sandals, and don't spend time chatting with people you meet.
Take to you no purses, nor wallets, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.
5 Whatever house you enter, first of all say, ‘May this house have peace.’
And into whatever house ye enter, first say: Peace be to this house.
6 If there's a peaceful person living there, then your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.
And if the son of peace is there, your salutation will rest upon it; but if not, your salutation will return to you.
7 Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for a worker deserves to be paid. Don't go from house to house.
And remain in that house, eating and drinking of what it affords; for the laborer is worthy of his hire. And pass not from house to house.
8 If you enter a town and the people there welcome you, then eat what's set before you
And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you; eat that which set before you.
9 and heal those who are sick. Tell them, ‘God's kingdom has come to you.’
And heal them that are sick in it; and say to them: The kingdom of God hath come near you.
10 But if you enter a town and the people there don't welcome you, go through their streets telling them,
And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not; go out into the street, and say:
11 ‘We are wiping off even the dust from your town that clings to our feet to show you our disapproval. But you should recognize this: God's kingdom has come.’
Even the dust of your city which adhereth to our feet, we shake off against you: but this know ye, that the kingdom of God hath come near to you.
12 I tell you, in the Day of Judgment it will be better for Sodom than for such a town.
I say to you, that for Sodom there will be comfort in that day, rather than for that city.
13 Shame on you Korazin! Shame on you Bethsaida! For if the miracles you saw happen had happened in Tyre and Sidon they would have repented a long time ago, and they would be sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon there had been the mighty deeds, that were in you, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.
14 That's why in the judgment it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
But for Tyre and Sidon there will be comfort in the day of judgment, rather than for you.
And thou Capernaum, that art lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 Anyone who hears you hears me, and anyone who rejects you rejects me. But anyone who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”
He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.
17 The seventy disciples returned in great excitement, saying, “Lord, even the demons do what we tell them in your name!”
And the seventy whom he sent forth, returned with great joy, and say to him: Our Lord, even the demons were subject to us, in thy name.
18 Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
And he said to them: I saw Satan fall, like the lightning from heaven.
19 Yes, I have given you power to tread on snakes and scorpions, and to overcome all the enemy's strength, and nothing will harm you.
Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and on all the power of the adversary: and nothing shall harm you.
20 But don't take delight that the spirits do what you tell them—just be glad that your names are written in heaven.”
Yet rejoice not in this, that the demons are subject to you; but rejoice, that your names are written in heaven.
21 At that moment Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for you hid these things from the wise and clever people and revealed them to children! Yes, Father, you were pleased to do it in this way.
In that hour Jesus exulted in the Holy Spirit, and said: I thank thee, my Father, thou Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes: yes, my Father, for such was thy good pleasure.
22 My Father has handed over everything to me. No one understands the Son except the Father, and no one understands the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
And he turned himself to his disciples, and said to them: Every thing is committed to me by my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; or who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.
23 When they were by themselves Jesus turned to the disciples and told them, “Those who see what you're seeing should be really happy!
And he turned to his disciples, privately, and said: Blessed are the eyes that see, what ye see.
24 I tell you, many prophets and kings have wanted to see what you're seeing, but they didn't see, and wanted to hear the things you're hearing, but didn't hear.”
For I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see what ye see, and did not see it; and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear it.
25 Once an expert in religious law stood up and tried to trap Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “What do I have to do to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a Scribe stood up to try him, and said: Teacher, what must I do, to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
26 “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” asked Jesus.
And Jesus said to him: How is it written in the law? How readest thou?
27 “You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and your whole spirit, and your whole strength, and your whole mind; and love your neighbor as yourself,” the man replied.
He answered and said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor, as thyself
28 “You're right,” Jesus told him. “Do this, and you will live.”
Jesus said to him: Thou hast said correctly; do thus, and thou wilt live.
29 But the man wanted to vindicate himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
And he, being disposed to justify himself, said: And who is my neighbor?
30 Jesus replied, saying, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He was attacked by robbers who stripped him and beat him, and left him for dead.
Jesus said to him: A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and robbers fell upon him, and plundered him, and smote him, and left him with little life in him, and went their way.
31 It so happened that a priest was going the same way. He saw the man, but he passed by on the other side of the road.
And a certain priest went down by that way; and he saw him, and passed on.
32 Then a Levite came along. But when he got to the place and saw the man, he also passed by on the other side.
So also a Levite came, approached the spot, and saw him, and passed on.
33 Finally a Samaritan man came along. As he passed by, he saw the man and felt sorry for him.
But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was, and saw him, and took pity on him,
34 He went over and treated the man's wounds with oil and wine, and bandaged them. Then he placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn where he took care of him.
and went to him, and bound up his wounds, and poured wine and oil on them, and placed him upon his ass, and brought him to the inn, and took care of him.
35 The next day he gave two denarii to the innkeeper and told him, ‘Take care of him, and if you spend more than this, I'll pay you back when I return.’
And on the morning of the next day, he took out two denarii and gave to the host, and said: Take good care of him; and if thou expendest any more, when I return, I will repay thee.
36 Which one of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by robbers?”
Which therefore of these three, appears to thee, to have been neighbor to him that fell into the hands of marauders?
37 “The one who showed him kindness,” the man replied. “Go and do the same,” Jesus told him.
And he said: He that had pity on him. Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou also the like.
38 While they were on their way, Jesus arrived at a village, and a woman called Martha invited him to her home.
And it occurred, as they travelled by the way, that he entered a certain village, and a woman whose name was Martha, received him at her house.
39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.
And she had a sister whose name, was Mary: and she came and seated herself at the feet of our Lord, and listened to his discourses.
40 Martha was concerned about all that needed to be done to prepare the meal, so she came to Jesus and said, “Master, don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me!”
But Martha was occupied with much service; and she came, and said to him: My Lord, hast thou no concern, that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her assist me.
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you're worried and upset about all this.
Jesus answered, and said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:
42 But only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the right thing, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
yet but one thing is necessary; and Mary hath chosen for herself the good part, which shall not be taken from her.
