After these things the Lord chose seventy others also, and sent them out two by two before His face, into every place and city, where He was about to come.
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 said to them, The harvest is indeed great, but the laborers are few: therefore pray you the Lord of the harvest, that He may send forth laborers into His harvest.
3 Go ye: lo, I send you forth, as sheep among wolves.

4 Take to you no purses, nor wallets, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.
Take neither purse, nor valise, nor sandals: salute no one by the way.
5 And into whatever house ye enter, first say: Peace be to this house.
Into whatsoever house you may enter, first say, Peace be unto 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.
And if the son of peace may be there, your peace shall rest upon it: but if not, it shall return unto 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.
Abide in the same house, eating and drinking those things which are with them: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you; eat that which set before you.
Into whatsoever city you may enter and they may receive you, eat those things which are placed by you:
9 And heal them that are sick in it; and say to them: The kingdom of God hath come near you.
and heal the sick who are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come nigh unto you.
10 And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not; go out into the street, and say:
And into whatsoever city you may enter, and they may not receive you, having come out into the streets of the same, say,
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 from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, do we wipe off against you: but know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.
12 I say to you, that for Sodom there will be comfort in that day, rather than for that city.
For I say unto you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
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 unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works which were wrought in you had been in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting down in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But for Tyre and Sidon there will be comfort in the day of judgment, rather than for you.
Moreover it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
15 And thou Capernaum, that art lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, art thou not exalted up to heaven? thou shalt be cast 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.
He that heareth you heareth me; he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth Him that 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.

Behold I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you.
20 Yet rejoice not in this, that the demons are subject to you; but rejoice, that your names are written in heaven.
Moreover do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.
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 the same hour He rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I praise thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and revealed them to babes: yea, Father, because it was thus pleasing in thy 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.
And turning to His disciples, He said, All things have been delivered to me by my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, except the Father; and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom He may wish to reveal Him.
23 And he turned to his disciples, privately, and said: Blessed are the eyes that see, what ye see.
And turning to His disciples, privately He said, Happy are your eyes, seeing those things which you see.

31 And a certain priest went down by that way; and he saw him, and passed on.

And likewise also a Levite, being at the place, coming and seeing, passed by on the other side.

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.
and having come to him, he bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and having mounted him on his own beast, carried him to a tavern, and cared for 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.
And on the morrow, taking out two denaria, gave them to the host, and said, Care for him; and whatsoever you expend in addition, on my return, I will pay you.
36 Which therefore of these three, appears to thee, to have been neighbor to him that fell into the hands of marauders?
Which one of these three seems to you to have been the neighbor of him who fell among the thieves?
37 And he said: He that had pity on him. Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou also the like.
And he said, The one having done mercy with him. And Jesus said to him, Go, thou, 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.

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.
And there was a sister to her called Mary, who indeed sitting down at the feet of the Lord, continued to hear his word:
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.
and Martha was very busy about much serving. And standing over Him, she said, Lord, is there no care to thee that my sister has left me to serve alone? then say to her that she must assist me.
41 Jesus answered, and said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:
And the Lord responding said to her, Martha, Martha, you are solicitous and encumbered concerning 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 there is need of one thing: for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.
