Luke 10
1 And aftir these thingis the Lord Jhesu ordeynede also othir seuenti and tweyn, and sente hem bi tweyn and tweyn bifor his face in to euery citee and place, whidir he was 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 seide to hem, There is myche ripe corn, and fewe werke men; therfor preie ye the lord of the ripe corn, that he sende werke men in to his ripe corn.
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 ye, lo! Y sende you as lambren among wolues.
Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Therfor nyle ye bere a sachel, nethir scrippe, nethir schoon, and greete ye no man bi the weie.
Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 In to what hous that ye entren, first seie ye, Pees to this hous.
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 And if a sone of pees be there, youre pees schal reste on hym; but if noon, it schal turne ayen to you.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7 And dwelle ye in the same hous, etynge and drynkynge tho thingis that ben at hem; for a werk man is worthi his hire. Nyle ye passe from hous in to hous.
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 in to what euer citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you, ete ye tho thingis that ben set to you;
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 and heele ye the sijke men that ben in that citee. And seie ye to hem, The kyngdom of God schal neiye in to you.
And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 In to what citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you not, go ye out in to the streetis of it,
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11 and seie ye, We wipen of ayens you the poudir that cleued to vs of youre citee; netheles wite ye this thing, that the rewme of God schal come nyy.
‘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 Y seie to you, that to Sodom it schal be esiere than to that citee in that dai.
I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
13 Wo to thee, Corosayn; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon the vertues hadden be don, whiche han be don in you, sum tyme thei wolden haue sete in heyre and asches, and haue don penaunce.
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 Netheles to Tire and Sidon it schal be esiere in the doom than to you.
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
15 And thou, Cafarnaum, art enhaunsid `til to heuene; thou schalt be drenchid `til in to helle. (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 herith you, herith me; and he that dispisith you, dispisith me; and he that dispisith me, dispisith hym that sente me.
Whoever hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
17 And the two and seuenti disciplis turneden ayen with ioye, and seiden, Lord, also deuelis ben suget to vs in thi name.
Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 And he seide to hem, Y saiy Sathnas fallynge doun fro heuene, as leit.
And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
19 And lo! Y haue youun to you power to trede on serpentis, and on scorpyouns, and on al the vertu of the enemy, and nothing schal anoye 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 Netheles nyle ye ioye on this thing, that spiritis ben suget to you; but ioye ye, that youre names ben writun in heuenes.
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 thilk our he gladide in the Hooli Goost, and seide, Y knouleche to thee, fadir, Lord of heuene and of erthe, for thou hast hid these thingis fro wise men and prudent, and hast schewid hem to smale children. Yhe, fadir, for so it pleside bifor thee.
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 Alle thingis ben youun to me of my fadir, and no man woot, who is the sone, but the fadir; and who is the fadir, but the sone, and to whom the sone wole schewe.
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 turnede to hise disciplis, and seide, Blessid ben the iyen, that seen tho thingis that ye seen.
And turning to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 For Y seie to you, that many prophetis and kyngis wolden haue seie tho thingis, that ye seen, and thei sayn not; and here tho thingis, that ye heren, and thei herden not.
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 lo! a wise man of the lawe ros vp, temptynge hym, and seiynge, Maister, what thing schal Y do to haue euerlastynge lijf? (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 And he seide to hym, What is writun in the lawe? hou redist thou?
But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 He answeride, and seide, Thou schalt loue thi Lord God of al thin herte, and of al thi soule, and of alle thi strengthis, and of al thi mynde; and thi neiybore as thi silf.
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 And Jhesus seide to hym, Thou hast answerid riytli; do this thing, and thou schalt lyue.
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 But he willynge to iustifie hym silf, seide to Jhesu, And who is my neiybore?
But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 And Jhesu biheld, and seide, A man cam doun fro Jerusalem in to Jerico, and fel among theues, and thei robbiden hym, and woundiden hym, and wente awei, and leften the man half alyue.
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 it bifel, that a prest cam doun the same weie, and passide forth, whanne he hadde seyn hym.
And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32 Also a dekene, whanne he was bisidis the place, and saiy him, passide forth.
And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33 But a Samaritan, goynge the weie, cam bisidis hym; and he siy hym, and hadde reuthe on hym;
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
34 and cam to hym, and boond togidir hise woundis, and helde in oyle and wynne; and leide hym on his beest, and ledde in to an ostrie, and dide the cure of hym.
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 another dai he brouyte forth twey pans, and yaf to the ostiler, and seide, Haue the cure of hym; and what euer thou schalt yyue ouer, Y schal yelde to thee, whanne Y come ayen.
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 Who of these thre, semeth to thee, was neiybore to hym, that fel among theues?
Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 And he seide, He that dide merci in to hym. And Jhesus seide to hym, Go thou, and do thou on lijk maner.
Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
38 And it was don, while thei wenten, he entride in to a castel; and a womman, Martha bi name, resseyuede hym in to hir hous.
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 to this was a sistir, Marie bi name, which also sat bisidis the feet of the Lord, and herde his word.
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
40 But Martha bisiede aboute the ofte seruyce. And sche stood, and seide, Lord, takist thou no kepe, that my sistir hath left me aloone to serue? therfor seie thou to hir, that sche helpe 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 And the Lord answerde, and seide to hir, Martha, Martha, thou art bysi, and art troublid aboute ful many thingis;
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
42 but o thing is necessarie. Marie hath chosun the best part, which schal not be takun awei fro hir.
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
