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.
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 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 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 Withdraw! Lo! I send you forth as lambs amid wolves.
Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Be not carrying purse, or satchel, or sandals, and, no one along the road, salute ye;
Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 And, into whatsoever house ye enter, First, say, Peace to this house!
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘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.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But 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.
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 whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they bid you welcome, be eating such things as are set before you;
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they 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.
And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 But, into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they do not welcome you, going forth into the broadways thereof, say ye:
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
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 which clings to us from your city, we wipe away against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
12 I tell you, for them of Sodom, in that day, more tolerable, will it be, than for that city.
I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
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 have been wrought in you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in haircloth and ashes.
14 Moreover, for Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the judgment, than, for you.
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
15 And, thou, Capernaum, —Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? …Unto hades, thou shalt be brought down! (Hadēs g86)
And as for you, Capernaum, who would be exalted even up to Heaven: you shall be submerged into Hell. (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 hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
17 And the seventy [-two] returned, with joy, saying—Lord! even the demons, submit themselves unto us, in thy name!
Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 And he said unto them—I was beholding Satan, when, like lightning, out of heaven, he fell!
And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell 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 upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt 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!
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 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.
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, 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 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, turning unto his disciples, privately, he said—Happy, the eyes, that see what ye see!
And turning to his disciples, he said: “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 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 lo! a certain lawyer, arose, putting him to the test, saying—Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit, life age-abiding? (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 unto him—In the law, what is written? how dost thou read?
But he said to him: “What is written in the law? 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?
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 unto him—Rightly, hast thou answered: This, do, and thou shalt live.
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 But, he, wishing to justify himself, said unto Jesus—And, who is, my, neighbour?
But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to 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.
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 chance, a certain priest, was coming down by that road, and, seeing him, passed by, 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, a Levite also, coming down to the place, and seeing him, passed by, 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, going on his journey, came down to him, and, seeing him, 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, 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.
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 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.
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 Which of these three, seemeth unto thee to have become, neighbour, unto 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 dealt mercifully with him. And Jesus said unto him—Be taking thy journey, and, thou, 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, as they were journeying, he, entered into a certain village; and, a certain woman, named Martha, welcomed 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, had a sister, called Mary, who also, seating herself at the feet of the Lord, was hearing his word.
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
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.
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 But the Lord, answering, said to her—Martha! Martha! thou art anxious and troubled about many things:
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over 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.
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
