Luke 10
1 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.
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 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.
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 Go; behold, I send you as sheep among wolves.
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Take with you neither purses, nor bags, nor sandals, neither with the salutation (shaloma) shall you salute any man in the way.
Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.
5 But into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to the house!
Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall descend upon him; but if not, your peace upon you shall return.
If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
7 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.
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 whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set to you.
If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.
9 And heal those who are sick, and say to them, There hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’
10 But if any city which you enter will not receive you, go you out into the street and say,
But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,
11 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.
‘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 that for Sadum it shall be more tolerable in that day than for that city.
I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 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.
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 Nevertheless for Tsur and for Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable in the day of the judgment, than for you.
But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
15 And thou, Kapher-nachum, which unto heaven art lifted up, unto Shiul shalt thou be abased. (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 you heareth, me heareth; and he who you rejecteth, me he rejecteth; and he who me rejecteth, he rejecteth him who 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 whom he had sent, returned with great joy, saying to him, Our Lord, the demons also are subjected to us through thy name.
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”
18 Then he said to them, I saw him, Satana, when he fell as lightning from heaven.
So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I give you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and all the strength of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
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 Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the demons are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 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.
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 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.
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 he turned to his disciples by themselves, and said, Blessed are your eyes because they see what you see;
Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 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.
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, behold, a certain Sophra stood up to try him, saying, Malphona, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? (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 But Jeshu said to him, In the law how is it written, how readest thou?
“What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”
27 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,
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 Jeshu said to him, Thou hast said correctly. This do, and thou shalt live.
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said to him, And who is my neighbour?
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 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.
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 a certain priest happened to go down by that way, and he saw him and passed over.
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 likewise also a Levoia, being come to that place, beheld him, and passed over.
So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
33 But a man, a Shomroya, while he journeyed, came where he was, and saw him, and had compassion on him,
But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion.
34 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.
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 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.
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 therefore of these three doth it appear to thee was neighbour to him who fell into the hands of the thieves?
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 had compassion on him. Jeshu saith to him, Go thou also and do likewise.
“The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 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.
As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
39 And she had a sister whose name was Mariam, and she came, sat at the feet of our Lord, and heard his words.
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.
40 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.
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 Jeshu answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and disturbed about many,
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.
42 but (there) is the one that is needed. And Mariam the good portion hath chosen, that which shall not be taken from her.
But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
