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.
AFTER these Jeshu separated from his disciples seventy others, and sent them by two and two before his face to every place and city whither he was himself to come.
2 “The harvest,” he said, “is abundant, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send laborers to gather in his harvest.
And he said to them, The harvest is great, but the labourers (are) few; pray therefore from the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
Go; behold, I send you as sheep among wolves.
4 Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
Take with you neither purses, nor bags, nor sandals, neither with the salutation (shaloma) shall you salute any man in the way.
5 Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
But into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to the house!
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.
And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall descend upon him; but if not, your peace upon you shall return.
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.
But in that house be, eating and drinking of theirs: for worthy is the labourer of his hire. And remove not from house to house.
8 Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
And into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set to you.
9 cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
And heal those who are sick, and say to them, There hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.
10 But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
But if any city which you enter will not receive you, go you out into the street and say,
11 ‘We wipe off the dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the kingdom of God is close at Hand.’
Even the dust which cleaveth to our feet from your city we shake off against you; nevertheless know this, that hath come nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.
12 I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.
I tell you that for Sadum it shall be more tolerable in that day than for that city.
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.
Woe to thee, Kurazin! woe to thee, Bethtsaida! for if in Tsur and Tsaidon had been wrought the miracles which were wrought in you, now long since in sackcloth and in ashes would they have repented.
14 Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
Nevertheless for Tsur and for Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable in the day of the judgment, than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Kapher-nachum, which unto heaven art lifted up, unto Shiul shalt thou be abased. (Hadēs g86)
16 Anyone who listens to you is listening to me, and anyone who rejects you is rejecting me; while the person who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his messenger.”
He that you heareth, me heareth; and he who you rejecteth, me he rejecteth; and he who me rejecteth, he rejecteth him who sent me.
17 When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, “Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.”
And the seventy whom he had sent, returned with great joy, saying to him, Our Lord, the demons also are subjected to us through thy name.
18 And Jesus replied, “I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
Then he said to them, I saw him, Satana, when he fell as lightning from heaven.
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.
Behold, I give you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and all the strength of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in heaven.”
Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the demons are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
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.
In that hour Jeshu exulted in the Holy Spirit, and said, I praise thee, my Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and the intellectual, and hast revealed them unto children. Yes, my Father, for so was thy will.
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.”
And he turned to his disciples, and said to them, Every thing is delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is but the Father; and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son willeth to reveal.
23 Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
And he turned to his disciples by themselves, and said, Blessed are your eyes because they see what you see;
24 for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.”
for I tell you that prophets many and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard.
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)
AND, behold, a certain Sophra stood up to try him, saying, Malphona, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
26 “What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”
But Jeshu said to him, In the law how is it written, how readest thou?
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 neighbor as you love yourself.”
He answered and said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy Aloha with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbour as thyself,
28 “You have answered right,” said Jesus, “Do that, and you will live.”
Jeshu said to him, Thou hast said correctly. This do, and thou shalt live.
29 But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
But he, willing to justify himself, said to him, 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.
Jeshu saith to him, A certain man went down from Urishlem to Jerichu, and fell among robbers, who stripped him and wounded him, and left him with little life subsisting in him, and went.
31 As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
And a certain priest happened to go down by that way, and he saw him and passed over.
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.
And likewise also a Levoia, being come to that place, beheld him, and passed over.
33 But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
But a man, a Shomroya, while he journeyed, came where he was, and saw him, and had compassion on him,
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.
and went near, and bound up his wounds, and poured in upon them wine and oil, and set him upon his ass, and brought him to the inn, and was anxious for him.
35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.’
And on the morning of the day, he took out two dinoreen, gave to the host, and said to him, Take care of him; and if more thou layest out, when I return I will give to thee.
36 Now which, do you think, of these three men,” asked Jesus, “proved himself a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
Which therefore of these three doth it appear to thee was neighbour to him who fell into the hands of the thieves?
37 “The one that took pity on him,” was the answer; at which Jesus said, “Go and do the same yourself.”
And he said, He who had compassion on him. Jeshu saith to him, Go thou also and do likewise.
38 As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
AND it was that as they went in the way, he entered into a certain village, and a woman whose name was Martha received him into her house.
39 She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
And she had a sister whose name was Mariam, and she came, sat at the feet of our Lord, and heard his words.
40 but Martha was distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said, “Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.”
But Martha was occupied with much serving. And she came and said to him, My Lord, carest thou not that my sister leave me alone to serve? Tell her to help me.
41 “Martha, Martha,” replied the Master, “you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
Jeshu answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and disturbed about many,
42 but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.”
but (there) is the one that is needed. And Mariam the good portion hath chosen, that which shall not be taken from her.
