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.
Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα, ἀνέδειξεν ὁ ˚Κύριος ἑτέρους ἑβδομήκοντα δύο, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἀνὰ δύο πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, εἰς πᾶσαν πόλιν καὶ τόπον οὗ ἤμελλεν αὐτὸς ἔρχεσθαι.
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.
Ἔλεγεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς, “Ὁ μὲν θερισμὸς πολύς, οἱ δὲ ἐργάται ὀλίγοι. Δεήθητε οὖν τοῦ ˚Κυρίου τοῦ θερισμοῦ, ὅπως ἐργάτας ἐκβάλῃ εἰς τὸν θερισμὸν αὐτοῦ.
3 Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
Ὑπάγετε ἰδοὺ, ἀποστέλλω ὑμᾶς ὡς ἄρνας ἐν μέσῳ λύκων.
4 Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
Μὴ βαστάζετε βαλλάντιον, μὴ πήραν, μὴ ὑποδήματα, καὶ μηδένα κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἀσπάσησθε.
5 Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
Εἰς ἣν δʼ ἂν εἰσέλθητε οἰκίαν, πρῶτον λέγετε, ‘Εἰρήνη τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ.’
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.
Καὶ ἐὰν ἐκεῖ ᾖ υἱὸς εἰρήνης, ἐπαναπαήσεται ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἡ εἰρήνη ὑμῶν· εἰ δὲ μή γε ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἀνακάμψει.
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.
Ἐν αὐτῇ δὲ τῇ οἰκίᾳ μένετε, ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες τὰ παρʼ αὐτῶν, ἄξιος γὰρ ὁ ἐργάτης τοῦ μισθοῦ αὐτοῦ. Μὴ μεταβαίνετε ἐξ οἰκίας εἰς οἰκίαν.
8 Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
Καὶ εἰς ἣν ἂν πόλιν εἰσέρχησθε, καὶ δέχωνται ὑμᾶς, ἐσθίετε τὰ παρατιθέμενα ὑμῖν.
9 cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
Καὶ θεραπεύετε τοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ ἀσθενεῖς, καὶ λέγετε αὐτοῖς, ‘Ἤγγικεν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.’
10 But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
Εἰς ἣν δʼ ἂν πόλιν εἰσέλθητε, καὶ μὴ δέχωνται ὑμᾶς, ἐξελθόντες εἰς τὰς πλατείας αὐτῆς εἴπατε,
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.’
‘Καὶ τὸν κονιορτὸν τὸν κολληθέντα ἡμῖν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ὑμῶν εἰς τοὺς πόδας ἀπομασσόμεθα ὑμῖν· πλὴν τοῦτο γινώσκετε ὅτι ἤγγικεν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.’
12 I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.
Λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι Σοδόμοις ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀνεκτότερον ἔσται, ἢ τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ.
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.
Οὐαί σοι, Χοραζίν! Οὐαί σοι, Βηθσαϊδά! Ὅτι εἰ ἐν Τύρῳ καὶ Σιδῶνι ἐγενήθησαν αἱ δυνάμεις, αἱ γενόμεναι ἐν ὑμῖν, πάλαι ἂν ἐν σάκκῳ καὶ σποδῷ καθήμενοι μετενόησαν.
14 Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
Πλὴν Τύρῳ καὶ Σιδῶνι, ἀνεκτότερον ἔσται ἐν τῇ κρίσει ἢ ὑμῖν.
15 And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
Καὶ σύ, Καφαρναούμ, μὴ ἕως οὐρανοῦ ὑψωθήσῃ; Ἕως ἍΙδου καταβήσῃ. (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.”
Ὁ ἀκούων ὑμῶν, ἐμοῦ ἀκούει, καὶ ὁ ἀθετῶν ὑμᾶς, ἐμὲ ἀθετεῖ· ὁ δὲ ἐμὲ ἀθετῶν, ἀθετεῖ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.”
17 When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, “Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.”
Ὑπέστρεψαν δὲ οἱ ἑβδομήκοντα δύο μετὰ χαρᾶς λέγοντες, “˚Κύριε, καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ὑποτάσσεται ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου.”
18 And Jesus replied, “I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς, “Ἐθεώρουν τὸν Σατανᾶν ὡς ἀστραπὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεσόντα.
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.
Ἰδοὺ, δέδωκα ὑμῖν τὴν ἐξουσίαν τοῦ πατεῖν ἐπάνω ὄφεων καὶ σκορπίων, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ἐχθροῦ, καὶ οὐδὲν ὑμᾶς οὐ μὴ ἀδικήσῃ.
20 Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in heaven.”
Πλὴν ἐν τούτῳ μὴ χαίρετε ὅτι τὰ πνεύματα ὑμῖν ὑποτάσσεται, χαίρετε δὲ ὅτι τὰ ὀνόματα ὑμῶν ἐγγέγραπται ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.”
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.
Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ, ἠγαλλιάσατο τῷ ˚Πνεύματι τῷ Ἁγίῳ καὶ εἶπεν, “Ἐξομολογοῦμαί σοι, Πάτερ, ˚Κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἀπέκρυψας ταῦτα ἀπὸ σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν, καὶ ἀπεκάλυψας αὐτὰ νηπίοις. Ναί, ὁ Πατήρ, ὅτι οὕτως εὐδοκία ἐγένετο ἔμπροσθέν σου.
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.”
Πάντα μοι παρεδόθη ὑπὸ τοῦ Πατρός μου, καὶ οὐδεὶς γινώσκει τίς ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς, εἰ μὴ ὁ Πατήρ, καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ Πατὴρ, εἰ μὴ ὁ Υἱὸς καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν βούληται ὁ Υἱὸς ἀποκαλύψαι.”
23 Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
Καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς κατʼ ἰδίαν, εἶπεν, “Μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ οἱ βλέποντες ἃ βλέπετε!
24 for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.”
Λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ προφῆται καὶ βασιλεῖς ἠθέλησαν ἰδεῖν ἃ ὑμεῖς βλέπετε, καὶ οὐκ εἶδαν, καὶ ἀκοῦσαι ἃ ἀκούετε, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν.”
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)
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, νομικός τις ἀνέστη, ἐκπειράζων αὐτὸν λέγων, “Διδάσκαλε, τί ποιήσας, ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;” (aiōnios g166)
26 “What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, “Ἐν τῷ νόμῳ τί γέγραπται; Πῶς ἀναγινώσκεις;”
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.”
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, “‘Ἀγαπήσεις ˚Κύριον τὸν ˚Θεόν σου, ἐξ ὅλης καρδίας σου, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ψυχῇ σου, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ἰσχύϊ σου, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ διανοίᾳ σου’, καὶ, ‘Τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.’”
28 “You have answered right,” said Jesus, “Do that, and you will live.”
Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ, “Ὀρθῶς ἀπεκρίθης. Τοῦτο ποίει, καὶ ζήσῃ.”
29 But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
Ὁ δὲ θέλων δικαιῶσαι ἑαυτὸν, εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, “Καὶ τίς ἐστίν μου πλησίον;”
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.
Ὑπολαβὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Ἄνθρωπός τις κατέβαινεν ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς Ἰεριχὼ, καὶ λῃσταῖς περιέπεσεν, οἳ καὶ ἐκδύσαντες αὐτὸν, καὶ πληγὰς ἐπιθέντες, ἀπῆλθον ἀφέντες ἡμιθανῆ.
31 As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
Κατὰ συγκυρίαν δὲ ἱερεύς τις κατέβαινεν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἀντιπαρῆλθεν.
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.
Ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Λευίτης γενόμενος κατὰ τὸν τόπον, ἐλθὼν καὶ ἰδὼν ἀντιπαρῆλθεν.
33 But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
Σαμαρείτης δέ τις ὁδεύων ἦλθεν κατʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἰδὼν ἐσπλαγχνίσθη
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.
καὶ προσελθὼν, κατέδησεν τὰ τραύματα αὐτοῦ, ἐπιχέων ἔλαιον καὶ οἶνον, ἐπιβιβάσας δὲ αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἴδιον κτῆνος, ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς πανδοχεῖον καὶ ἐπεμελήθη αὐτοῦ.
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.’
Καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον ἐκβαλὼν, ἔδωκεν δύο δηνάρια τῷ πανδοχεῖ, καὶ εἶπεν, ‘Ἐπιμελήθητι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅ τι ἂν προσδαπανήσῃς, ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ ἐπανέρχεσθαί με ἀποδώσω σοι.’
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?”
Τίς τούτων τῶν τριῶν πλησίον δοκεῖ σοι γεγονέναι, τοῦ ἐμπεσόντος εἰς τοὺς λῃστάς;”
37 “The one that took pity on him,” was the answer; at which Jesus said, “Go and do the same yourself.”
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔλεος μετʼ αὐτοῦ.” Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως.”
38 As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
Ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς, αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κώμην τινά· γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι Μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν,
39 She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
καὶ τῇδε ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη Μαριάμ, ἣ καὶ παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ἤκουεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ.
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.”
Ἡ δὲ Μάρθα περιεσπᾶτο περὶ πολλὴν διακονίαν· ἐπιστᾶσα δὲ εἶπεν, “˚Κύριε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἡ ἀδελφή μου μόνην με κατέλιπεν διακονεῖν; Εἰπὲ οὖν αὐτῇ ἵνα μοι συναντιλάβηται!”
41 “Martha, Martha,” replied the Master, “you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ˚Κύριος, “Μάρθα, Μάρθα, μεριμνᾷς καὶ θορυβάζῃ περὶ πολλά,
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.”
ἑνὸς δέ ἐστιν χρεία· Μαριὰμ γὰρ τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἐξελέξατο, ἥτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτῆς.”
