Luke 10
1 And, after these things, the Lord appointed seventy two others, and sent them forth, two and two before his face, into every city and place whither, he himself, was about to come.
After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.
2 And he was saying unto them—The harvest, indeed, is, great, but, the labourers, few; beg ye, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, that he would thrust forth, labourers, into his harvest.
And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.
3 Withdraw! Lo! I send you forth as lambs amid wolves.
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Be not carrying purse, or satchel, or sandals, and, no one along the road, salute ye;
Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.
5 And, into whatsoever house ye enter, First, say, Peace to this house!
Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 And, if the son of peace be, there, your peace, shall rest upon it; but, otherwise, at least, unto you, shall it return.
If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
7 And, in the self-same house, abide ye, eating and drinking such things as they have; for, worthy, is the labourer, of his hire: be not removing from house to house.
Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
8 And, into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they bid you welcome, be eating such things as are set before you;
If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.
9 And be curing the sick that are, therein, and be saying unto them—The kingdom of God hath drawn nigh upon you.
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’
10 But, into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they do not welcome you, going forth into the broadways thereof, say ye:
But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,
11 Even the dust that cleaveth unto us, out of your city, unto our feet, do we wipe off against you; nevertheless, of this, be taking notice—The kingdom of God hath drawn near.
‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’
12 I tell you, for them of Sodom, in that day, more tolerable, will it be, than for that city.
I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power which have been down in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes sitting, they would have repented.
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Moreover, for Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the judgment, than, for you.
But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
15 And, thou, Capernaum, —Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? …Unto hades, thou shalt be brought down! (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! (Hadēs g86)
16 He that hearkeneth unto you, unto me, doth hearken, and, he that setteth you aside, doth set, me, aside; and, he that setteth, me, aside, doth set aside, him that sent me.
Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
17 And the seventy [-two] returned, with joy, saying—Lord! even the demons, submit themselves unto us, in thy name!
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”
18 And he said unto them—I was beholding Satan, when, like lightning, out of heaven, he fell!
So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Lo! I have given you the authority—to be treading upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and, nothing, unto you, shall in anywise do harm;
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.
20 Notwithstanding, in this, be not rejoicing—that, the spirits, unto you submit themselves; but be rejoicing—that, your names, are inscribed in the heavens!
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 In the self-same hour, exulted he in the Holy Spirit, and said—I openly give praise unto thee, Father! Lord of heaven and earth! in that thou hast hid these things from the wise and discerning, and hast revealed them unto babes, —Yea, O Father! that, so, hath it become, a delight, before thee.
At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
22 All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, knoweth, who the Son is, save the Father, —and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son may be minded to reveal him.
All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”
23 And, turning unto his disciples, privately, he said—Happy, the eyes, that see what ye see!
Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 For I tell you, Many prophets and kings, have desired to see what, ye, see, and they saw not, and to hear what ye hear, and they heard not.
For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
25 And lo! a certain lawyer, arose, putting him to the test, saying—Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit, life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
One day an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 And, he, said unto him—In the law, what is written? how dost thou read?
“What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”
27 And, he, answering, said—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, out of all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thine intention; and thy neighbour, as thyself?
He answered, “‘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 ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 And he said unto him—Rightly, hast thou answered: This, do, and thou shalt live.
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But, he, wishing to justify himself, said unto Jesus—And, who is, my, neighbour?
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 And taking up [the question], Jesus said—A certain man, was going down from Jerusalem unto Jericho, and, with robbers, fell in, —who, stripping him, and inflicting, wounds, upon him, departed, leaving him, half dead.
Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
31 And, by chance, a certain priest, was coming down by that road, and, seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.
Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And, in like manner, a Levite also, coming down to the place, and seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.
So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
33 But, a certain Samaritan, going on his journey, came down to him, and, seeing him, was moved with compassion;
But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion.
34 and, coming near, bound up his bruises, pouring thereon oil and wine, —and, setting him on his own beast, brought him into an inn, and took care of him.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And, on the morrow, throwing out two denaries, he gave them to the inn-keeper, and said—Take care of him, and, whatsoever thou shall further spend, I, when on my way back, will duly pay thee.
The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’
36 Which of these three, seemeth unto thee to have become, neighbour, unto him who fell among the robbers?
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 And, he, said—He who dealt mercifully with him. And Jesus said unto him—Be taking thy journey, and, thou, be doing, in like manner.
“The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 And, as they were journeying, he, entered into a certain village; and, a certain woman, named Martha, welcomed him into her house.
As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
39 And, she, had a sister, called Mary, who also, seating herself at the feet of the Lord, was hearing his word.
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.
40 But, Martha, was distracted about much ministering, and, coming near, said—Lord! carest thou not that, my sister, hath left me to be ministering, alone? Speak to her, then, that she help me.
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”
41 But the Lord, answering, said to her—Martha! Martha! thou art anxious and troubled about many things:
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.
42 Of few things, is there need, or, of one; Mary, in fact, hath chosen, the good part, —one which shall not be taken away from her.
But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
