< Luke 10 >
1 AFTER these Jeshu separated from his disciples seventy others, and sent them by two and two before his face to every place and city whither he was himself to come.
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.
2 And he said to them, The harvest is great, but the labourers (are) few; pray therefore from the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers into his harvest.
Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the labourers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out labourers into his harvest.
3 Go; behold, I send you as sheep among wolves.
Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs amongst wolves.

Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5 But into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to the house!
Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
6 And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall descend upon him; but if not, your peace upon you shall return.
If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7 But in that house be, eating and drinking of theirs: for worthy is the labourer of his hire. And remove not from house to house.
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the labourer 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 to you.
Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9 And heal those who are sick, and say to them, There hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
10 But if any city which you enter will not receive you, go you out into the street and say,
But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 Even the dust which cleaveth to our feet from your city we shake off against you; nevertheless know this, that hath come nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.
‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
12 I tell you that for Sadum it shall be more tolerable in that day than for that city.
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13 Woe to thee, Kurazin! woe to thee, Bethtsaida! for if in Tsur and Tsaidon had been wrought the miracles which were wrought in you, now long since in sackcloth and in ashes would they have repented.
“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 Nevertheless for Tsur and for Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable in the day of the judgment, than for you.
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgement than for you.
15 And thou, Kapher-nachum, which unto heaven art lifted up, unto Shiul shalt thou be abased. (Hadēs )
You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Sheol. (Hadēs )
16 He that you heareth, me heareth; and he who you rejecteth, me he rejecteth; and he who me rejecteth, he rejecteth him who sent me.
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 And the seventy whom he had sent, returned with great joy, saying to him, Our Lord, the demons also are subjected to us through thy name.
The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18 Then he said to them, I saw him, Satana, when he fell as lightning from heaven.
He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I give you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and all the strength of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
20 Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the demons are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
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 hour Jeshu exulted in the Holy Spirit, and said, I praise thee, my Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and the intellectual, and hast revealed them unto children. Yes, my Father, for so was thy will.
In that same hour, Yeshua rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
22 And he turned to his disciples, and said to them, Every thing is delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is but the Father; and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son willeth to reveal.
Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”
23 And he turned to his disciples by themselves, and said, Blessed are your eyes because they see what you see;
Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
24 for I tell you that prophets many and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard.
for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”

26 But Jeshu said to him, In the law how is it written, how readest thou?
He said to him, “What is written in the Torah? How do you read it?”
27 He answered and said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy Aloha with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbour as thyself,
He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.”
28 Jeshu said to him, Thou hast said correctly. This do, and thou shalt live.
He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said to him, And who is my neighbour?
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Yeshua, “Who is my neighbour?”
30 Jeshu saith to him, A certain man went down from Urishlem to Jerichu, and fell among robbers, who stripped him and wounded him, and left him with little life subsisting in him, and went.
Yeshua answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell amongst robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And a certain priest happened to go down by that way, and he saw him and passed over.
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise also a Levoia, being come to that place, beheld him, and passed over.
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 But a man, a Shomroya, while he journeyed, came where he was, and saw him, and had compassion on him,
But a certain Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34 and went near, and bound up his wounds, and poured in upon them wine and oil, and set him upon his ass, and brought him to the inn, and was anxious for him.

35 And on the morning of the day, he took out two dinoreen, gave to the host, and said to him, Take care of him; and if more thou layest out, when I return I will give to thee.
On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’
36 Which therefore of these three doth it appear to thee was neighbour to him who fell into the hands of the thieves?
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbour to him who fell amongst the robbers?”
37 And he said, He who had compassion on him. Jeshu saith to him, Go thou also and do likewise.
He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Yeshua said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 AND it was that as they went in the way, he entered into a certain village, and a woman whose name was Martha received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister whose name was Mariam, and she came, sat at the feet of our Lord, and heard his words.
She had a sister called Miriam, who also sat at Yeshua’s feet and heard his word.
40 But Martha was occupied with much serving. And she came and said to him, My Lord, carest thou not that my sister leave me alone to serve? Tell her to help me.
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”
41 Jeshu answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and disturbed about many,
Yeshua answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 but (there) is the one that is needed. And Mariam the good portion hath chosen, that which shall not be taken from her.
but one thing is needed. Miriam has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
