Luke 10
1 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.
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, and the laborers few: pray ye, therefore, the lord of the harvest that he would send laborers 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 ye: lo, I send you forth, as sheep among wolves.
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Take to you no purses, nor wallets, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.
Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.
5 And into whatever house ye enter, first say: Peace be to this house.
Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 And if the son of peace is there, your salutation will rest upon it; but if not, your salutation will return to you.
If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
7 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.
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 ye enter, and they receive you; eat that which set before you.
If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.
9 And heal them that are sick in it; and say to them: The kingdom of God hath come near you.
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’
10 And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not; go 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 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.
‘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 say to you, that for Sodom there will be comfort in that day, rather 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, 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.
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 But for Tyre and Sidon there will be comfort in the day of judgment, rather than for you.
But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! (Hadēs g86)
16 He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth 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 whom he sent forth, returned with great joy, and say to him: Our Lord, even the demons were subject to 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 to them: I saw Satan fall, like the lightning from heaven.
So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and on all the power of the adversary: and nothing shall harm 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 Yet rejoice not in this, 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 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.
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 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.
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, privately, and said: Blessed are 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 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.
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 Scribe stood up to try him, and said: Teacher, what must I do, to inherit eternal 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 And Jesus said to him: How is it written in the law? 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 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
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 Jesus said to him: Thou hast said correctly; do thus, and thou wilt live.
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”
29 And he, being disposed to justify himself, said: And who is my neighbor?
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Jesus said to him: A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and robbers fell upon him, and plundered him, and smote him, and left him with little life in him, and went their way.
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 went down by that way; and he saw him, and passed on.
Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 So also a Levite came, approached the spot, and saw him, and passed on.
So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
33 But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was, and saw him, and took pity on him,
But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion.
34 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.
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 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.
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, appears to thee, to have been neighbor to him that fell into the hands of marauders?
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 that had pity on him. Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou also the like.
“The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 And it occurred, as they travelled by the way, that he entered a certain village, and a woman whose name was Martha, received him at 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 Mary: and she came and seated herself at the feet of our Lord, and listened to his discourses.
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.
40 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.
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 Jesus answered, and 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 yet but one thing is necessary; and Mary hath chosen for herself the good part, 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.”
