Luke 10
1 After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.

2 ‘The harvest,’ he said, ‘is abundant, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.

6 Then, if anyone there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest on him; but if not, it will come back on yourselves.

7 Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth their wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.

10 But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say

12 I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.

13 Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.

17 When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, ‘Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.’

18 And Jesus replied, ‘I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.

19 Remember, I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing will ever harm you in any way.

21 At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.

22 Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.’

23 Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;

25 Just then a student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)

27 His reply was – ‘You must 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 neighbour as you love yourself.’

29 But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’

30 To which Jesus replied, ‘A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.

32 A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.

34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
