Luke 10
1 After now these things appointed the Lord (also *ko*) others seventy (two *NO*) and sent them in two [by] two before [the] face of Himself into every city and place where was soon He Himself to go.
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
2 He was saying (then *N(K)O*) to them; The indeed harvest [is] plentiful, however the workmen [are] few; do pray earnestly therefore to the Lord of the harvest that workmen (He may send out *N(k)O*) into the harvest of Him.
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 do go; behold (I myself *k*) I send forth you as lambs in [the] midst of wolves.
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 Neither do carry purse nor bag (nor *N(k)O*) sandals, and no one on the road may greet.
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 Into whatever now maybe (you may enter *N(k)O*) house first do say: Peace to the house this.
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 And if (indeed *k*) there shall be a son of peace, (will rest *N(k)O*) upon him the peace of you; lest however except yet to you it will return.
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
7 In [the] same now house do remain eating and drinking the [things supplied] by them; worthy [is] for the workman of the wages of him (is. *k*) Not do move from house to house.
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
8 And into whatever (now *k*) maybe city you may enter, and they may receive you, do eat the [things] set before you
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 And do heal in it [the] sick and do say to them; Has drawn near to you the kingdom of God.
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 Into whatever now maybe city (you may enter, *N(k)O*) and not they may receive you, having gone out into the streets of it do say;
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
11 Even the dust which having clung to us out of the city of you (to the feet *NO*) we wipe off against you; yet this do know that has drawn near (upon you *K*) the kingdom of God.
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 I say (now *k*) to you that for Sodom in the day that more tolerable it will be than city for that.
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
13 Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon (had been *N(k)O*) the miracles having taken place in you, long ago then would in sackcloth and ashes (sitting *N(k)O*) they would have repented.
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 But for Tyre and for Sidon more tolerable will it be in the judgment than for you.
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
15 And you yourself Capernaum (not *N(k)O*) to (*k*) heaven (will you be lifted up? *N(k)O*) to (*no*) Hades (you will be brought down. *N(k)O*) (Hadēs g86)
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
16 The [one] hearing you Me hears, and the [one] rejecting you Me myself rejects; the [one] now Me myself rejecting he rejects the [One] having sent Me.
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 Returned then the seventy (two *NO*) with joy saying; Lord, even the demons are subject to us through the name of You.
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 He said then to them; I was beholding Satan as lightning out of the heaven having fallen.
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
19 Behold (I have given *N(k)O*) you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon all the power of the enemy, and no [thing] you certainly not (may injure. *NK(o)*)
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
20 Yet in this not do rejoice that the spirits to you are subjected; do rejoice however (more *K*) that the names of you (have been written *N(k)O*) in the heavens.
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
21 In [the] same hour He rejoiced (in *n*) the Spirit (*N(k)O*) (Holy *N(K)O*) and said; I fully consent to You, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, for You have hidden these things from wise and intelligent and revealed them to little children. yes O Father, for thus well-pleasing was it before You.
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
22 (and having turned to disciples said *K*) All things to Me was delivered by the Father of Mine, And no [one] knows who is the Son only except the Father, and who is the Father only except the Son and to whom (maybe *NK(o)*) shall resolve the Son to reveal [Him].
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 And having turned to the disciples in private He said; Blessed [are] the eyes which are seeing what you see!
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
24 I say for to you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you yourselves see and not saw, and to hear what you hear and not heard.
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
25 And behold a lawyer certain stood up testing Him (and *ko*) saying; Teacher, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
26 And He said to him; In the law what has been written? How read you?
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
27 And answering he said; 'You will love [the] Lord the God of you with all the heart of you and (with all the soul *N(k)O*) of you and (with all the strength *N(k)O*) of you and (with all the mind *N(k)O*) of you’, and The neighbour of you as yourself.’
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 He said then to him; Correctly you have answered; This do perform and you will live.
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 But desiring (to justify *N(k)O*) himself he said to Jesus; And who is my neighbour?
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
30 Having taken [it] up (now *ko*) Jesus said; A man certain was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and robbers fell among who both having stripped him and wounds having inflicted they went away having left [him] half dead (state. *k*)
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 By chance now a priest certain was going down on the road that, and having seen him he passed by opposite.
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 Likewise now also a Levite having come to the spot having come and having seen [him] passed by opposite.
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 A Samaritan however one journeying came to him, and having seen (him *ko*) was moved with compassion,
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
34 and having approached he bound up the wounds of him pouring on oil and wine. having put then him on [his] own beast he brought him to an inn and took care of him.
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
35 And on the next day (having gone out *K*) having taken out he gave [them] two denarii to the innkeeper and said (to him: *k*) do take care of him, and (whatever more *NK(o)*) maybe you may expend, I myself on the returning of me will repay you.
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 Which (therefore *KO*) of these three a neighbour seems to you to have been of the [one] falling among the robbers?
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 And he said; The [one] having shown compassion toward him. Said (then *N(k)O*) to him Jesus; do go and you yourself do act likewise.
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 (it came to pass *K*) In now the proceeding of them (and *ko*) He himself entered into a village certain. a woman now certain named Martha received Him (into *ko*) (the house *k(o)*) (of her *KO*)
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 And she was a sister being called Mary. She also (having sat down at *N(k)O*) the feet of the (Lord *N(K)O*) was listening to the word of Him.
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 But Martha was distracted about much service. having come up now she said; Lord, not is it concerning to You that the sister of mine alone me (has left *NK(o)*) to serve? do speak therefore to her that me she may help!
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 Answering now He said to her the (Lord; *N(K)O*) Martha Martha, you are anxious and (troubled *N(k)O*) about many things,
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 (few or *O*) one [thing] however is necessary: Mary (for *N(k)O*) the good portion has chosen which not will be taken away from (from *ko*) her.
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
