Luke 10
1 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.
After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, where he himself would come.
2 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.
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray all of you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
Carry neither purse, nor pouch, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
And into whatsoever house all of you enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if a son of peace is 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 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.
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
And into whatsoever city all of you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God has come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
But into whatsoever city all of you enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 ‘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.’
Even the very dust of your city, which cleaves on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be all of you sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come nigh unto you.
12 I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 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.
Woe unto you, Chorazin! woe unto you, 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 Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And as for you, Capernaum, who would be exalted even up to Heaven: you shall be submerged into Hell. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 Whoever hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
He that hears you hears me; and he that despises you despises me; and he that despises me despises him that sent me.
17 Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through your name.
18 And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 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.
Behold, I give unto 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 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.”
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits (pneuma) are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 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.
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, (pneuma) and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.
22 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.”
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows 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 And turning to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that all of you see:
24 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.”
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which all of you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which all of you hear, and have not heard them.
25 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)
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
26 But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
He said unto him, What is written in the law? how read you?
27 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.”
And he answering said, 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 neighbour as yourself.
28 And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
And he said unto him, You have answered right: this do, and you shall live.
29 But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 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.
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
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 certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 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.
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 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.’
And on the next day when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you.
36 Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
Which now of these three, think you, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do you likewise.
38 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.
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. (logos)
40 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.”
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, you are careful and troubled about many things:
42 And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
But one thing is necessary: and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
