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.
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 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 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 Go; behold, I send you as sheep among wolves.
Go forth. Behold, I send 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.
Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 But into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to the house!
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘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.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But 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.
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 whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set to you.
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 And heal those who are sick, and say to them, There hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.
And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 But if any city which you enter will not receive you, go you out into the street and say,
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
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 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 that for Sadum it shall be more tolerable in that day than for that city.
I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
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 have been wrought in you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in haircloth and ashes.
14 Nevertheless for Tsur and for Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable in the day of the judgment, than for you.
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
15 And thou, Kapher-nachum, which unto heaven art lifted up, unto Shiul shalt thou be abased. (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 you heareth, me heareth; and he who you rejecteth, me he rejecteth; and he who me rejecteth, he rejecteth him who 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 whom he had sent, returned with great joy, saying to him, Our Lord, the demons also are subjected to us through thy name.
Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 Then he said to them, I saw him, Satana, when he fell as lightning from heaven.
And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell 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 upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the demons are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
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 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.
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 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 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 he turned to his disciples by themselves, and said, Blessed are your eyes because they see what you see;
And turning to his disciples, he said: “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 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, behold, a certain Sophra stood up to try him, saying, Malphona, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? (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 But Jeshu said to him, In the law how is it written, how readest thou?
But he said to him: “What is written in the law? 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,
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 Jeshu said to him, Thou hast said correctly. This do, and thou shalt live.
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said to him, And who is my neighbour?
But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to 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.
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 a certain priest happened to go down by that way, and he saw him and passed over.
And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32 And likewise also a Levoia, being come to that place, beheld him, and passed over.
And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33 But a man, a Shomroya, while he journeyed, came where he was, and saw him, and had compassion on him,
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
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.
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 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.
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 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, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 And he said, He who had compassion on him. Jeshu saith to him, Go thou also and do likewise.
Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
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.
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 whose name was Mariam, and she came, sat at the feet of our Lord, and heard his words.
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
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.
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 Jeshu answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and disturbed about many,
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over 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.
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
