Luke 10
1 After this, the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead, two by two, to every town and place where he himself was about to go.
After these things, the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city, and place, whither he himself would come.
2 He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the laborers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.
3 Now go on your way. Behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves.
Go: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, and no sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
Carry neither purse, nor sack, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 Whenever you enter a house, first say, ‘May peace be upon this house!’
And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.
6 If there is a son of peace there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you.
And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
9 Heal the sick in that city and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.
10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 ‘Even the dust that clings to us from your town we wipe off against you. Yet know this: The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
Even the very dust of your city which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding, be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh to you.
12 I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town.
But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13 “Woe to yoʋ, Chorazin! Woe to yoʋ, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it will be more tolerable at the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 “He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who 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 When the seventy returned, they were joyful and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in yoʋr name.”
And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.
18 He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I am giving you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and to overcome all the power of the enemy, and nothing at all will harm you.
Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I praise yoʋ, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because yoʋ have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in yoʋr sight.”
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 Then he turned to the disciples and said, “All things have been delivered 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 anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
All things are 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 will reveal [him].
23 Then he turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!
And he turned himself to [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see.
24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wished to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear them.”
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard [them].

27 He answered, “Yoʋ shall love the Lord yoʋr God with all yoʋr heart, with all yoʋr soul, with all yoʋr strength, and with all yoʋr mind; and yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.”
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.
28 Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have answered correctly; do this and yoʋ will live.”
And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down to Jericho from Jerusalem and fell among robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him as he was, half dead.
And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.
31 Now a priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 In the same way, a Levite, when he came to that place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked [on him], and passed by on the other side.
33 But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came to where the man was, and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came were he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],
34 He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 On the next day, when he was departing, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more yoʋ spend I will repay to yoʋ when I return.’
And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave [them] to the host, and said to him, Take care of him: and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Now which of these three do yoʋ think was a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?”
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?
37 The lawyer said, “The one who showed him mercy.” So Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38 As Jesus and his disciples went along, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.
39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus' feet and listened to what he was saying.
And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was distracted by the many preparations that had to be made. So she came up to Jesus and said, “Lord, do yoʋ not care that my sister has left me to make all the preparations alone? Tell her then to assist me.”
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 But Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, yoʋ are anxious and troubled about many things,
And Jesus answered, and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious, and troubled about many things:
42 but only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
But one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
