< 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.
And after these things, Jesus separated from among his disciples seventy other persons, and sent them, two and two, before his face, to every place and city whither he was to go.
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: The harvest is great, and the laborers few: pray ye, therefore, the lord of the harvest that he would send laborers into his harvest.
3 Withdraw! Lo! I send you forth as lambs amid wolves.
Go ye: lo, I send you forth, as sheep among wolves.
4 Be not carrying purse, or satchel, or sandals, and, no one along the road, salute ye;
Take to you no purses, nor wallets, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.
5 And, into whatsoever house ye enter, First, say, Peace to this house!
And into whatever house ye enter, first say: Peace be 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 the son of peace is there, your salutation will rest upon it; but if not, your salutation 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 that house, eating and drinking of what it affords; for the laborer is worthy of his hire. And pass not 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 ye enter, and they receive you; eat that which 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 heal them that are sick in it; and say to them: The kingdom of God hath come near you.
10 But, into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they do not welcome you, going forth into the broadways thereof, say ye:
And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not; go out into the street, and 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 of your city which adhereth to our feet, we shake off against you: but this know ye, that the kingdom of God hath come near to you.
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 for Sodom there will be comfort in that day, rather than for that city.
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 thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon there had been the mighty deeds, that were in you, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Moreover, for Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the judgment, than, for you.
But for Tyre and Sidon there will be comfort in the day of judgment, rather than for you.
15 And, thou, Capernaum, —Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? …Unto hades, thou shalt be brought down! (Hadēs g86)
And thou Capernaum, that art lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to 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.
He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.
17 And the seventy [-two] returned, with joy, saying—Lord! even the demons, submit themselves unto us, in thy name!
And the seventy whom he sent forth, returned with great joy, and say to him: Our Lord, even the demons were subject to us, in thy 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 saw Satan fall, like the 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 give you authority to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and on all the power of the adversary: and nothing shall 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!
Yet rejoice not in this, that the demons 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 that hour Jesus exulted in the Holy Spirit, and said: I thank thee, my Father, thou Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes: yes, my Father, for such was thy good pleasure.
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.
And he turned himself to his disciples, and said to them: Every thing is committed to me by my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; or who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.
23 And, turning unto his disciples, privately, he said—Happy, the eyes, that see what ye 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 desired to see what ye see, and did not see it; and to hear what ye hear, and 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)
And behold, a Scribe stood up to try him, and said: Teacher, 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?
And Jesus said to him: How is it written in the law? How readest thou?
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 and said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor, as thyself
28 And he said unto him—Rightly, hast thou answered: This, do, and thou shalt live.

31 And, by chance, a certain priest, was coming down by that road, and, seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.
And a certain priest went down by that way; and he saw him, and passed on.
32 And, in like manner, a Levite also, coming down to the place, and seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.
So also a Levite came, approached the spot, and saw him, and passed on.
33 But, a certain Samaritan, going on his journey, came down to him, and, seeing him, was moved with compassion;
But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was, and saw him, and took pity on him,
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 went to him, and bound up his wounds, and poured wine and oil on them, and placed him upon his ass, and brought him to the 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.
And on the morning of the next day, he took out two denarii and gave to the host, and said: Take good care of him; and if thou expendest any more, when I return, I will repay thee.
36 Which of these three, seemeth unto thee to have become, neighbour, unto him who fell among the robbers?
Which therefore of these three, appears to thee, to have been neighbor to him that fell into the hands of marauders?
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.
And he said: He that had pity on him. Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou also the like.

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 whose name, was Mary: and she came and seated herself at the feet of our Lord, and listened to his discourses.
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 occupied with much service; and she came, and said to him: My Lord, hast thou no concern, that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her assist me.
41 But the Lord, answering, said to her—Martha! Martha! thou art anxious and troubled about many things:
Jesus answered, and said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled 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.
yet but one thing is necessary; and Mary hath chosen for herself the good part, which shall not be taken from her.
