Afterward, the Lord appointed seventy others, also, and sent them, two and two, before him, into every city and place whither he intended to go.
2 Then He said to them: “The harvest is indeed great, but the workers are few; therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He may send out workers into His harvest.

3 “Go! Yes, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
Go, then; behold, I send you forth as lambs amongst wolves.
4 Do not carry a purse, nor a knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road.
Carry no purse, nor bag, nor shoes; and salute no person by the way.
5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
Whatever house you enter, say, first, Peace be to this house.
6 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you.
And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him; if not, it shall return upon itself.
7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking what they offer, because the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

10 But into whatever town you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say:
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 us we wipe off against you. Nonetheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
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 say to you that it will be more tolerable in 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.
13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
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 Nevertheless it will be more tolerable 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.
And thou, Capernaum, which has been exalted in heaven, shall be thrown down to hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 “He who listens to you listens to me, and he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects Him who sent me!”

17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Master, even the demons are subject to us, through your name.
18 So He said to them: “I watched Satan fall like lightning out of heaven.
He said to them, I beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Take note, I am giving you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing at all may harm you.
Lo! I empowered you to turn on serpents, and scorpions, and all the might of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 However, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; rather rejoice because 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 In that same hour Jesus exulted in His spirit and said: “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to ‘infants’. Yes, Father, because it pleased you to do so.”
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 And turning to the disciples He said: “All things have been entrusted to me by my Father; also, no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and to whomever the Son may choose to reveal Him.”
My Father has imparted everything to me; and none knows who the Son is, but the Father; nor who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 Then turning to His disciples privately He said: “Blessed are the eyes that are seeing the things that you see;
Then, turning apart, he said to his disciples: Blessed are the eyes which see what you see.
24 for I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you are seeing but did not, and to hear what you are hearing but did not.”

25 And then, a certain lawyer stood up to test Him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)

26 So He said to him: “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?”
Jesus said to him, What does the law prescribe? What do you read there?
27 In answer he 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 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 So He said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live!”
Jesus replied, You have answered right. Do this, and you shall live.
29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
But he, desirous to appear blameless, said to Jesus, Who is my neighbor?
30 By way of reply Jesus said: “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and as it chanced he ran into robbers, who after having stripped and wounded him, departed, leaving him half dead.
Jesus said, in return, A man of Jerusalem, traveling to Jericho, fell among robbers; who, having stripped and wounded him, went away, leaving him half dead.
31 Now by coincidence a certain priest was going down that road, and 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, a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and 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 a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came by there, and upon seeing him was moved with compassion;

34 and going to him he bound up his wounds, applying oil and wine. Then he placed him on his own mount, 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 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and should you spend more, I will repay you when I return.’
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 So which of these three, would you say, was ‘neighbor’ to him who ran into the robbers?”
Now which of these three, do you think, was neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?
37 He said, “The one who showed mercy on him.” So Jesus said to 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 Now it happened as they traveled that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.
And, as he traveled, he went into a village, where a woman named Martha entertained him at her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, who actually sat at Jesus' feet listening to His words.
She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, listening to his discourse:
40 Well Martha was distracted with much serving; so coming up she said: “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Do please 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 But in answer Jesus said to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and agitated about many things,
Jesus answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious, and trouble yourself about many things.
42 but only one is needed. However, Mary has chosen the good part, which 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.
