2 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.

5 Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
Whatever house you enter, say, first, Peace be to this house.

And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him; if not, it shall return upon itself.
7 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 If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.

10 But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,
But whatever city you enter, if they do not receive you, go out into the streets, and say,
11 ‘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.’
The very dirt of your streets, which cleaves to us, we wipe off against you; know, however, that the Reign of God draws nigh to you.
12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
I assure you, that the condition of Sodom shall be more tolerable on that day, than the condition of that city.

Alas, for thee, Chorazin! Alas, for thee, Bethsaida! For if the miracles which have been performed in you, had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they had reformed long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
Wherefore, the condition of Tyre and Sidon shall be more tolerable, in the judgment, than yours.

16 Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
He that hears you, hears me; and he that rejects you, rejects me; and he that rejects me, rejects him who sent me.

And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Master, even the demons are subject to us, through your name.

Lo! I empowered you to turn on serpents, and scorpions, and all the might of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Nevertheless, rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven.
21 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.
At that time, Jesus was joyful in spirit, and said, I adore thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth; because, having hid these things from sages, and the learned, thou hast revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, because such is thy pleasure.
22 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.”

25 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)
Then a lawyer stood up, and said, trying him, Rabbi, what must I do to obtain eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
26 “What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”
Jesus said to him, What does the law prescribe? What do you read there?
27 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.’”
He answered, "You shall 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 your neighbor as yourself."
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”
Jesus replied, You have answered right. Do this, and you shall live.
29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
But he, desirous to appear blameless, said to Jesus, Who is my neighbor?
30 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 Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
A priest, accidentally going that way, and seeing him, passed by on the father side.
32 So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
Likewise a Levite, on the road, when he came near the place, and saw him, passed by on the farther side.
33 But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion.

34 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.
and went up to him; and having poured wine and oil into his wounds, he bound them up. Then he set him on his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 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.’
On the morrow, when he was going away, he took out two denarii, and giving them to the host, said, Take care of this man, and whatever you spend more, when I return I will repay you.
36 Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
Now which of these three, do you think, was neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?
37 “The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
The lawyer answered, He who took pity upon him. Then said Jesus, Go you and do in like manner.
38 As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
And, as he traveled, he went into a village, where a woman named Martha entertained him at her house.
39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.
She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, listening to his discourse:
40 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!”
but Martha, who was much cumbered about serving, came to him and said, Master, do you not care that my sister leaves me to serve alone? Bid her, therefore, assist me.
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.
Jesus answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious, and trouble yourself 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.”
One thing only is necessary. And Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.
