Luke 10
1 And after these things, the LORD also appointed seventy others, and sent them by twos before His face, to every city and place to where He Himself was about to come,
Then, after these things, the Lord also designated another seventy-two. And he sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive.
2 then He said to them, “The harvest [is] indeed abundant, but the workmen few; implore then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.
And he said to them: “Certainly the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest.
3 Go away; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;
Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 carry no bag, no leather pouch, nor sandals; and greet no one on the way;
Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 and into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this house;
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, your peace will rest on it; and if not so, it will turn back on 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 remain in that house, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; do not go 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 into whatever city you enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 and heal the ailing in it, 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 And into whatever city you enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11 And the dust that has cleaved to us from your city, we wipe off against you, but 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 and I say to you that it will be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.
I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
13 Woe to you, Chorazin; woe to you, Bethsaida; for if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they had converted 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 it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
And as for you, Capernaum, who would be exalted even up to Heaven: you shall be submerged into Hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 He who is hearing you, hears Me; and he who is putting you away, puts Me away; and he who is putting Me away, puts away Him who 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 turned back with joy, saying, “Lord, and the demons are being subjected to us in Your Name”;
Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 and He said to them, “I was beholding Satan having fallen as lightning from Heaven;
And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
19 behold, I give to you the authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means will hurt you;
Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 but do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.”
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 was glad in the Spirit and said, “I confess to You, Father, Lord of Heaven and of earth, that You hid these things from wise men and understanding, and revealed them to babies; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before You.
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 were delivered up to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may resolve to reveal [Him].”
All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and those to whom the Son has chosen to reveal him.”
23 And having turned to the disciples, He said, by themselves, “Blessed the eyes that are perceiving what you perceive;
And turning to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 for I say to you that many prophets and kings wished to see what you perceive, and did not see, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.”
For I say to you, that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and they did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and they did not hear them.”
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, trying Him, and saying, “Teacher, what having done, will I inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 And He said to him, “In the Law what has been written? How do you read [it]?”
But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 And he answering said, “You will love the LORD your God out of all your heart, and out of all your soul, and out of all your strength, and out of all your understanding, and your neighbor as yourself.”
In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
28 And He said to him, “You answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 And Jesus having taken up [the word], said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they 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 a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;
And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32 and in like manner also, a Levite, having been around the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.
And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33 But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
34 and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful 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 next day, going forth, taking out two denarii, he gave to the innkeeper and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever you may spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to 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 Who, then, of these three, seems to you to have become neighbor of him who fell among the robbers?”
Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 And he said, “He who did the kindness with him,” then Jesus said to him, “Be going on, and you be doing in like manner.”
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, in their going on, that He entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name 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 also had a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
40 and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by Him, she said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister left me alone to serve? Say then to her that she may partake along with 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 And Jesus answering said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and disquieted about many things,
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
42 but of one thing there is need, and Mary chose the good part; that will not be taken away from her.”
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
