Lucas 10

¹ Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place, where he himself was about to come.

² And he said to them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the workers are few: pray{+} therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workers into his harvest.

³ Go your{+} ways; look, I send you{+} forth as lambs among wolves.

⁴ Carry no wallet, no bag, no sandals; and greet no man on the way.

⁵ And into whatever house you{+} will enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.

⁶ And if a son of peace be there, your{+} peace will rest on him: but if not, it will turn to you{+} again.

⁷ And stay in that same house, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the worker is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house.

⁸ And into whatever city you{+} enter, and they receive you{+}, eat such things as are set before you{+}:

⁹ and heal the sick who are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near to you{+}.

¹⁰ But into whatever city you{+} will enter, and they do not receive you{+}, go out into its streets and say,

¹¹ Even the dust from your{+} city, that sticks to our feet, we wipe off against you{+}: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.

¹² I say to you{+}, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

¹³ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you{+}, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴ But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you{+}.

¹⁵ And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to Hades.

¹⁶ He who hears you{+} hears me; and he who rejects you{+} rejects me; and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.

¹⁷ And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name.

¹⁸ And he said to them, I watched Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.

¹⁹ Look, I have given you{+} authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing will in any wise hurt you{+}.

²⁰ Nevertheless don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you{+}; but rejoice that your{+} names are written in heaven.

²¹ In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to juveniles: yes, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.

²² All things have been delivered to me of my Father: and no one knows who the Son is, except the Father; and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wills to reveal [him].

²³ And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that you{+} see:

²⁴ for I say to you{+}, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you{+} see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you{+} hear, and did not hear them.

²⁵ And look, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

²⁶ And he said to him, What is written in the law? How do you read [it]?

²⁷ And answering he said, You will love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your fellow man as yourself.

²⁸ And he said to him, You have answered right: do this, and you will live.

²⁹ But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my fellow man?

³⁰ Jesus replying said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

³¹ And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³² And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

³³ But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

³⁴ and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on [them] oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

³⁵ And on the next day he took out $200, and gave it to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatever you spend more, I, when I come back again, will repay you.

³⁶ Which of these three, do you think, had been the fellow man of him who fell among the robbers?

³⁷ And he said, He who showed mercy on him. And Jesus said to him, Go, and you do likewise.

³⁸ Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him.

³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.

⁴⁰ But Martha was cumbered about much service; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, don't you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Then tell her to help me.

⁴¹ But the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and upset about many things:

⁴² but one thing is needful: for Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.
