Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy-two others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he was about to come.

Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
3 yUyaM yAta, pazyata, vRkANAM madhyE mESazAvakAniva yuSmAn prahiNOmi|
Go your way. Look, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4 yUyaM kSudraM mahad vA vasanasampuTakaM pAdukAzca mA gRhlIta, mArgamadhyE kamapi mA namata ca|
Carry no money bag, nor pack, nor sandals; and greet no one on the way.
5 aparanjca yUyaM yad yat nivEzanaM pravizatha tatra nivEzanasyAsya maggalaM bhUyAditi vAkyaM prathamaM vadata|
Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'
6 tasmAt tasmin nivEzanE yadi maggalapAtraM sthAsyati tarhi tanmaggalaM tasya bhaviSyati, nOcEt yuSmAn prati parAvarttiSyatE|
If a peaceful person is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7 aparanjca tE yatkinjcid dAsyanti tadEva bhuktvA pItvA tasminnivEzanE sthAsyatha; yataH karmmakArI janO bhRtim arhati; gRhAd gRhaM mA yAsyatha|
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8 anyacca yuSmAsu kimapi nagaraM praviSTESu lOkA yadi yuSmAkam AtithyaM kariSyanti, tarhi yat khAdyam upasthAsyanti tadEva khAdiSyatha|
Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

Heal the sick who are in it, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.'
10 kintu kimapi puraM yuSmAsu praviSTESu lOkA yadi yuSmAkam AtithyaM na kariSyanti, tarhi tasya nagarasya panthAnaM gatvA kathAmEtAM vadiSyatha,
But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 yuSmAkaM nagarIyA yA dhUlyO'smAsu samalagan tA api yuSmAkaM prAtikUlyEna sAkSyArthaM sampAtayAmaH; tathApIzvararAjyaM yuSmAkaM samIpam Agatam iti nizcitaM jAnIta|
'Even the dust from your city that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God is near.'
12 ahaM yuSmabhyaM yathArthaM kathayAmi, vicAradinE tasya nagarasya dazAtaH sidOmO dazA sahyA bhaviSyati|
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sedum than for that city.

"Woe to you, Korazin. Woe to you, Beth-Sayada. For if the mighty works had been done in Tsur and Tsaidan which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 atO vicAradivasE yuSmAkaM dazAtaH sOrasIdOnnivAsinAM dazA sahyA bhaviSyati|
But it will be more tolerable for Tsur and Tsaidan in the judgment than for you.
And you, Kepharnakhum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Sheyul. (Hadēs g86)
16 yO janO yuSmAkaM vAkyaM gRhlAti sa mamaiva vAkyaM gRhlAti; kinjca yO janO yuSmAkam avajnjAM karOti sa mamaivAvajnjAM karOti; yO janO mamAvajnjAM karOti ca sa matprErakasyaivAvajnjAM karOti|
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
17 atha tE saptatiziSyA AnandEna pratyAgatya kathayAmAsuH, hE prabhO bhavatO nAmnA bhUtA apyasmAkaM vazIbhavanti|
The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name."
18 tadAnIM sa tAn jagAda, vidyutamiva svargAt patantaM zaitAnam adarzam|
He said to them, "I saw Satana having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 pazyata sarpAn vRzcikAn ripOH sarvvaparAkramAMzca padatalai rdalayituM yuSmabhyaM zaktiM dadAmi tasmAd yuSmAkaM kApi hAni rna bhaviSyati|
Look, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt you.
20 bhUtA yuSmAkaM vazIbhavanti, Etannimittat mA samullasata, svargE yuSmAkaM nAmAni likhitAni santIti nimittaM samullasata|
Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Rukha d'Qudsha, and said, "I thank you, 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 pitrA sarvvANi mayi samarpitAni pitaraM vinA kOpi putraM na jAnAti kinjca putraM vinA yasmai janAya putrastaM prakAzitavAn tanjca vinA kOpi pitaraM na jAnAti|
"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 tapaH paraM sa ziSyAn prati parAvRtya guptaM jagAda, yUyamEtAni sarvvANi pazyatha tatO yuSmAkaM cakSUMSi dhanyAni|
Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them."
25 anantaram EkO vyavasthApaka utthAya taM parIkSituM papraccha, hE upadEzaka anantAyuSaH prAptayE mayA kiM karaNIyaM? (aiōnios g166)
And look, a certain Law scholar stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
26 yIzuH pratyuvAca, atrArthE vyavasthAyAM kiM likhitamasti? tvaM kIdRk paThasi?
He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How do you read it?"
27 tataH sOvadat, tvaM sarvvAntaHkaraNaiH sarvvaprANaiH sarvvazaktibhiH sarvvacittaizca prabhau paramEzvarE prEma kuru, samIpavAsini svavat prEma kuru ca|
He answered, "You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
28 tadA sa kathayAmAsa, tvaM yathArthaM pratyavOcaH, ittham Acara tEnaiva jIviSyasi|
He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Yeshua, "Who is my neighbor?"

Yeshua answered, "A certain man was going down from Urishlim to Irikhu, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 akasmAd EkO yAjakastEna mArgENa gacchan taM dRSTvA mArgAnyapArzvEna jagAma|
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 ittham EkO lEvIyastatsthAnaM prApya tasyAntikaM gatvA taM vilOkyAnyEna pArzvEna jagAma|
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 kintvEkaH zOmirONIyO gacchan tatsthAnaM prApya taM dRSTvAdayata|
But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34 tasyAntikaM gatvA tasya kSatESu tailaM drAkSArasanjca prakSipya kSatAni baddhvA nijavAhanOpari tamupavEzya pravAsIyagRham AnIya taM siSEvE|
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 parasmin divasE nijagamanakAlE dvau mudrApAdau tadgRhasvAminE dattvAvadat janamEnaM sEvasva tatra yO'dhikO vyayO bhaviSyati tamahaM punarAgamanakAlE parizOtsyAmi|
On the next day, he took out two denarii, and 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 ESAM trayANAM madhyE tasya dasyuhastapatitasya janasya samIpavAsI kaH? tvayA kiM budhyatE?
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Yeshua said to him, "Go and do likewise."
38 tataH paraM tE gacchanta EkaM grAmaM pravivizuH; tadA marthAnAmA strI svagRhE tasyAtithyaM cakAra|
It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Marta received him.
39 tasmAt mariyam nAmadhEyA tasyA bhaginI yIzOH padasamIpa uvavizya tasyOpadEzakathAM zrOtumArEbhE|
She had a sister called Maryam, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.
40 kintu marthA nAnAparicaryyAyAM vyagrA babhUva tasmAddhEtOstasya samIpamAgatya babhASE; hE prabhO mama bhaginI kEvalaM mamOpari sarvvakarmmaNAM bhAram arpitavatI tatra bhavatA kinjcidapi na manO nidhIyatE kim? mama sAhAyyaM karttuM bhavAn tAmAdizatu|
But Marta was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."
41 tatO yIzuH pratyuvAca hE marthE hE marthE, tvaM nAnAkAryyESu cintitavatI vyagrA cAsi,
But the Lord answered and said to her, "Marta, Marta, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 kintu prayOjanIyam EkamAtram AstE| aparanjca yamuttamaM bhAgaM kOpi harttuM na zaknOti saEva mariyamA vRtaH|
but one thing is needed. Maryam has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
