Luke 10

CLV(i) 1 Now after these things the Lord indicates seventy-two others also, and He dispatches them two by two before His face into every city and place where He was about to be entering." 2 Now He said to them, "The harvest, indeed, is vast, yet the workers are few. Beseech, then, the Lord of the harvest, so that He should be ejecting workers into His harvest." 3 Go! Lo! I am dispatching you as lambs in the midst of wolves." 4 Bear no purse not beggar's bag nor yet sandals, and you should be greeting no one by the way." 5 Now into whatever house you may be entering, first say, 'Peace to this household!'" 6 And if a son of peace should be there, your peace will be resting on it; otherwise, surely it will come back on you." 7 Now in the same house, remain, eating and drinking what they have, for worthy is the worker of his wages. Do not proceed from house to house." 8 And into whatever city you may be entering, and they may be receiving you, eat what is placed before you, 9 and cure the infirm in it, and say to them, 'Near to you is the kingdom of God.'" 10 Now into whatever city you may be entering, and they may not be receiving you, coming out into its squares, say, 11 Even the dust on our feet, which is clinging to us out of your city, are we wiping off before you. Moreover, know this, that near to you is the kingdom of God!" 12 Now I am saying to you that it will be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city. 13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the powerful deeds which are occurring in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, long ago they would repent, sitting in sackcloth and ashes." 14 Moreover for Tyre and Sidon will it be more tolerable in the judging than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum! Not to heaven shall you be exalted! To the unseen shall you subside!" 16 He who is hearing you is hearing Me. And he who is repudiating you is repudiating Me. Yet he who is repudiating Me is repudiating Him Who commissions Me." 17 Now the seventy-two return with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Thy name!" 18 Yet He said to them, "I beheld Satan, as lightning, falling out of heaven." 19 Lo! I have given you authority to be treading upon serpents and scorpions and over the entire power of the enemy, and nothing shall be injuring you under any circumstances." 20 However, in this be not rejoicing, that the spirits are subject to you, yet be rejoicing that your names are engraven in the heavens." 21 In this hour He exults in the holy spirit and said, "I am acclaiming Thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for Thou dost conceal these things from the wise and intelligent and Thou dost reveal them to minors. Yea, Father, seeing that thus it became a delight in front of Thee." 22 And being turned to the disciples, He said, "All was given up 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 whomsoever the Son may be intending to unveil Him." 23 And being turned to the disciples, He said privately, "Happy are the eyes that are observing what you are observing!" 24 For I am saying to you that many prophets and kings want to perceive what you are observing, and they perceive not, and to hear of Me what you are hearing, and they hear not." 25 And lo! a certain lawyer rose, putting Him on trial, and saying, "Teacher, by doing what should I enjoy the allotment of life eonian? 26 Now He said to him, "What is written in the law? How are you reading? 27 Now he, answering, said, "You shall be loving the Lord your God out of your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole strength, and with your whole comprehension, and 'your associate as yourself.'" 28 Now He said to him, "Correctly have you answered. This be doing and you shall be living." 29 Yet he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my associate? 30 Now taking him up, Jesus said, "A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho. And he falls among robbers, who, stripping him as well as pounding him, came away, leaving him half dead." 31 Now it happens by a coincidence, that a certain priest descended by that road, and, perceiving him, passed by on the other side." 32 Now likewise, a Levite also, coming to the place and perceiving him, passed by on the other side." 33 Now a certain Samaritan, being on his way, came by him, and perceiving him, he has compassion, 34 and coming to him, he bandages his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Now, mounting him on his own beast, he led him to a khan and had him cared for." 35 And, on the morrow, coming away, extracting two denarii, he gives them to the khan keeper and said to him, 'Care for him, and anything whatever you should be expending, at my coming back, I will be paying you.'" 36 Which, then, of these three are you supposing has become an associate of the one falling in with the robbers? 37 Now he said, "The one doing the merciful thing with him.Now Jesus said to him, "Go, and you do likewise." 38 Now at their going, He entered into a certain village. Now a certain woman, named Martha, entertains Him in her house." 39 Now to her was also a sister called Mary, who, seated also at the Lord's feet, heard His word." 40 Now Martha was distracted about much serving. Now, standing by, she said, "Lord, art Thou not caring that my sister left me to serve alone? Then speak to her that she may be aiding me." 41 Now, answering, the Lord said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worrying and in a tumult about many things." 42 Yet of few is there need, or of one. For Mary chooses the good part which shall not be wrested from her."
