Sending Out the Seventy-Two
1After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two # 10:1 Other mss read seventy others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2He told them, # 10:2 Mt 9:37–38; Jn 4:35 “The harvest # 10:2 Rv 14:15 is abundant, but the workers # 10:2 Mt 20:1 are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. # 10:2 2Th 3:1 3Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves. # 10:3 Mt 7:15; 10:16; Jn 10:12; Ac 20:29 4Don’t carry a money-bag, # 10:4 Lk 12:33; 22:35–36 traveling bag, # 10:4 Mk 6:8; Lk 9:3; 22:35–36 or sandals; # 10:4 Mt 10:9–10 don’t greet anyone along the road. 5Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace # 10:5 Mt 11:26; Lk 10:21; 12:51 to this household.’ 6If a person of peace is there, your peace # 10:6 Lk 7:50; 8:48; 24:36; Jn 20:19; Ac 15:33; 1Co 16:11; Jms 2:16 will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages. # 10:7 Mt 10:10; 1Tm 5:18; 2Pt 2:13 Don’t move from house to house. 8When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you. # 10:8 1Co 10:27 9Heal the sick # 10:9 Mt 10:8; 1Th 5:14 who are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God # 10:9 Mt 12:28; Lk 11:20; 17:20 has come near # 10:9 Mt 10:7; Mk 1:15; 1Pt 4:7 you.’ 10When you enter any town, and they don’t welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11‘We are wiping off even the dust of your town that clings to our feet as a witness against you. # 10:11 Mt 10:14; Mk 6:11; Lk 9:5; Ac 13:51; 18:6 Know this for certain: The kingdom of God has come near.’ 12I tell you, on that day # 10:12 Mt 7:22; 13:1; Lk 17:31; 2Pt 3:10 it will be more tolerable for Sodom # 10:12 Rv 11:8 than for that town. # 10:12 Mt 10:15; 11:22,24; Lk 10:14
Unrepentant Towns
13 “Woe # 10:13–15 Mt 11:20–24 to you, # 10:13 Ezk 16:23; Mt 23:13–16; Lk 6:24; Rv 9:12 Chorazin! # 10:13 Mt 11:21 Woe to you, Bethsaida! # 10:13 Jn 12:21 For if the miracles # 10:13 Ex 3:20; Lk 19:37; Ac 2:22 that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, # 10:13 Ezr 3:7; Jr 25:22; 47:4; Jl 3:4; Lk 6:17 they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. # 10:13 Est 4:1,3; Dn 9:3; Jnh 3:6 14But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment # 10:14 Ps 1:5; Mt 12:41 than for you. 15And you, Capernaum, # 10:15 Mt 4:13; Lk 4:23,31; 7:1 will you be exalted to heaven? # 10:15 Ac 2:33 No, you will go down to Hades. # 10:15 Is 14:12–15; Ac 2:27 16Whoever listens to you listens to me. # 10:16 Mt 10:40; Jn 13:20 Whoever rejects you rejects me. # 10:16 Mt 25:45; Lk 9:48; Jn 12:48 And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.” # 10:16 Jn 5:23; 1Th 4:8
The Return of the Seventy-Two
17The seventy-two # 10:17 Other mss read The seventy,# 10:17 Ezk 8:11 returned with joy, saying, # 10:17–20 Mk 16:17–18; Jn 12:31 “Lord, even the demons # 10:17 Rv 9:20 submit to us in your name.” # 10:17 Jn 10:25; 14:13
18He said to them, “I watched Satan # 10:18 Mt 4:1,10; Ac 13:10; Rv 12:9 fall from heaven like lightning. # 10:18 Mt 28:3; Col 2:15 19Look, I have given you the authority # 10:19 Mk 1:22 to trample # 10:19 Lk 21:24; Rv 11:2 on snakes # 10:19 Gn 3:16; Mt 23:33; Rv 9:19 and scorpions # 10:19 Lk 11:12; Rv 9:3 and over all the power of the enemy; # 10:19 Mt 13:39; 1Co 15:25 nothing at all will harm you. # 10:19 Ps 91:13; Mk 16:18; Ac 28:5 20However, don’t rejoice that # 10:20 Lit don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits # 10:20 1Tm 4:1; 1Jn 4:1 submit to you, # 10:20 Mt 7:22–23 but rejoice that your names are written # 10:20 Ex 32:32; Neh 9:38; Mal 3:16 in heaven.”
The Son Reveals the Father
21At that time # 10:21–24 Mt 11:25–27; 13:16–17 he # 10:21 Other mss read Jesus rejoiced in the Holy # 10:21 Other mss omit Holy Spirit # 10:21 Lk 2:27; 4:1; 19:21; Ac 2:4 and said, “I praise # 10:21 Or thank, or confess you, Father, # 10:21 Mt 7:21; Lk 23:34,46; Jn 8:42; 11:41; 12:27–28; 17:1–25 Lord of heaven and earth, # 10:21 Gn 14:19; Ac 17:24 because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent # 10:21 Is 44:25; Jr 8:9; Ac 13:7; 1Co 1:19–27; 3:19–20 and revealed them to infants. # 10:21 Ps 8:2; Mt 21:16 Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. # 10:21 Lit was well-pleasing in your sight,# 10:21 Lk 2:14 22All things have # 10:22 Other mss read And turning to the disciples, he said, “Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son desires # 10:22 Or wills, or chooses to reveal him.” # 10:22 Jn 1:18; 6:46; 7:29; 8:19; 10:15; 17:25–26
23Then turning to his disciples he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see! 24For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear but didn’t hear them.” # 10:24 Jn 8:56; Heb 11:13; 1Pt 1:10–12
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25Then # 10:25–28 Mt 22:34–40; Mk 12:28–34 an expert in the law # 10:25 Lk 7:30 stood up to test # 10:25 Mt 16:1; 19:3 him, saying, “Teacher, # 10:25 Mt 8:19; Lk 3:12; Jn 1:38 what must I do to inherit eternal life? ” # 10:25 Mt 19:29; Lk 18:18; Jn 12:25; Rv 21:7
26 “What is written in the law? ” he asked him. “How do you read it? ”
27He answered, “Love the Lord your God # 10:27 Lk 4:8 with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,” # 10:27 Dt 6:5 and “your neighbor as yourself.” # 10:27 Lv 19:18; Dt 6:5,# 10:27 Lv 19:18
28 “You’ve answered correctly,” he told him. “Do this and you will live.” # 10:28 Lv 18:5; Neh 9:29; Ezk 20:11; Rm 10:5; Gl 3:12
29But wanting to justify himself, # 10:29 Lk 16:15 he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor? ” # 10:29 Ex 20:16–17; Lv 6:2; 19:13–18; Pr 3:28–29; Mt 5:43; 19:19; Rm 13:9–10
30Jesus took up the question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead. 31A priest happened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32In the same way, a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan # 10:33 Mt 10:5; Lk 9:52; Ac 1:8 on his journey came up to him, and when he saw the man, he had compassion. # 10:33 Lk 7:13; 15:20 34He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil # 10:34 Is 1:6; Jms 5:14 and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35The next day # 10:35 Other mss add as he was leaving he took out two denarii, # 10:35 A denarius = one day’s wage. gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him. When I come back I’ll reimburse you for whatever extra you spend.’
36 “Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers? ”
37“The one who showed mercy # 10:37 Mt 23:23; Lk 1:72; Jms 2:13 to him,” he said.
Then Jesus told him, “Go and do the same.”
Martha and Mary
38While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha # 10:38 Jn 11:1,19–20; 12:2–3 welcomed him into her home. # 10:38 Other mss omit into her home 39She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s # 10:39 Other mss read at Jesus’s feet # 10:39 Lk 8:35; Ac 22:3 and was listening to what he said. # 10:39 Lit to his word or message 40But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t you care # 10:40 Mk 4:38; 1Pt 5:7 that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.” # 10:40 Or tell her to help me,# 10:40 Rm 8:26
41The Lord # 10:41 Other mss read Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, # 10:41 Lk 12:22; 1Co 7:32; Php 4:6 42but one thing is necessary. # 10:42 Some mss read few things are necessary, or only one,# 10:42 Ps 16:5; 27:4; Jn 6:27 Mary has made the right choice, # 10:42 Lit has chosen the good part, or has chosen the better portion; = the right meal and it will not be taken away from her.”

1And after these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu gave smichah to shivim (seventy) others and sent them on ahead of him shnayim shnayim (two by two) into every shtetl and place where he was about to arrive. 2And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was saying to them, Indeed the Katzir is plentiful, but the poalim of the Katzir are few; therefore, ask the Adon of the Katzir that he might send out poalim into his Katzir. 3Go I send you as kevasim (sheep) into the midst of ze'evim (wolves). 4Do not carry a bag for kesef, nor a schnorrerʼs sack (beggarʼs bag), nor sandals, and, along the derech, dispense with time-consuming Birkat Shalomʼs. 5Into whatever bais you enter, first say, Shalom to this bais. 6And if there is a ben hashalom there, your shalom will rest upon him. Otherwise, on you it will return. 7Remain in the same bais eating and drinking the things with them. For worthy is the poel (worker) of his loin (wages). Do not move from bais to bais. 8And into whichever shtetl you enter and they receive you, eat the okhel (food) being set before you, 9And give refuah (healing) to the cholim (sick people) and say to them, The Malchut Hashem has come near you. 10And into whatever shtetl you enter and they do not receive you, having gone out into the rekhovot (streets) of that shtetl, 11Say, Even the#10:11 Goyishe unclean dust from your shtetl, which clings to us, we shake off from our feet as an omen of din (judgment) against you. But have daas of this, that the Malchut Hashem has come near. 12I#10:12 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach say to you, that for S'dom in Yom HaHu,#10:12 Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment it will be more bearable than it will be for that shtetl.
13Woe to you, Korazin, oy to you, Beit-Tzaidah, because if in Tzor and Tzidon had occurred the gevurot that have happened in you, long ago, they, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, would have made teshuva. 14But for Tzor and Tzidon it will be more bearable in the Yom HaDin than for you. 15And you, K'far-Nachum, surely not up to Shomayim will you be exalted? To Gehinnom you will descend!
16The one listening to you listens to me,#10:16 Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach and the one rejecting you, rejects me.#10:16 Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach But the one rejecting me,#10:16 Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rejects the One#10:16 the G-d of Yisroel who sent me.
17And the Shivim returned with simcha, saying, Adoneinu, even the shedim submit to us b'Shem of you.#10:17 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, Yeshua 18And he said to them, I was seeing HaSatan falling like lightning from Shomayim.#10:18 Isa 14:12 19Hinei I have given to you the koach and the samchut to walk on nechashim (snakes) and akrabim (scorpions), and on all the koach of HaOyev, and nothing may by any means injure you. 20But in this do not have a lev sameach, on account of the ruchot submitting to you, but have lev sameach that your shemot have been inscribed in Shomayim.
21In the same hour Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was full of simcha by the Ruach Hakodesh. And he said, Baruch Hashem, Avi, Adon HaShomayim vHaAretz, that You concealed these things from those with chochmah and seichel and You revealed them to yeladim. Ken, Avi, for thus it was well pleasing in Your sight. 22Everything was handed over to me by Avi, and no one has daas of HaBen except HaAv. And no one has daas of HaAv except HaBen, and whomever HaBen wishes to reveal Him.
23And, having turned to the talmidim in a yechidus, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Ashrey [are] the eyes seeing what you see. 24For I say to you that many neviim and melachim wanted to see what you see and they did not see them, and to hear what you hear and they did not hear them.
25And a certain Talmid Chacham, a Baal Torah, stood up, testing Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Rabbi, what mitzvah must I do to inherit Chayyei Olam? 26And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, In the Torah what has been written? How do you read it? 27And in reply the Baal Torah said, V'AHAVTA ES ADONOI ELOHEICHA B'CHOL LEVAVCHA UVECHOL NAFSHECHA UVECHOL MODECHA#10:27 Dt 6:4,5 and L'REACHA KAMOCHA.#10:27 Dt 6:5; Lv 19:18 28And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Your answer is frum. Richtik. Do this and you will live.
29But because the Baal Torah wanted to justify himself, to be yitzdak im Hashem (justified with G-d)#10:29 Job 25:4 on the basis of his own zokheh#10:29 see Ro 3:20 (merit), he said to him, And who is my REA (neighbor)? 30In reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, A certain ish was coming down from Yerushalayim to Yericho, and he encountered shodedim. They stripped him and inflicted a klap, more than one, and they went away and left him half dead. 31It so happened that a certain kohen was coming down by that derech, and, having seen him, he passed by on the other side.#10:31 Lv 21:1-3 32And likewise also a Levi happened upon the place, but when he came and saw him, he passed by on the other side. 33But a certain Shomroni, traveling along on the derech, came upon him; and when he saw him, he was filled with rachmei shomayim. 34And when this Shomroni approached, he bandaged the manʼs wounds, pouring shemen and yayin over them; and when he had placed him upon his own donkey, he brought the man to a malon and cared for him. 35And on the next day he produced two denarii and gave them to the inn keeper of the malon and said, Take care of him, and whatever you spend additionally, I will take care of, when I return. 36Who of these shalosha seems to you to have become a re'a to the one having fallen among the shodedim? 37And the Baal Torah answered, The one having shown the man rachamim. And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Go and do likewise.
38And while they were on the derech, he entered into a certain shtetl. And a certain isha by name of Marta received him. 39And this isha had an achot named Miryam, who sat down at the feet of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu listening to his dvar. 40But Marta was distracted with much badinen. And having stood by, she said, Adoneinu, is it of no concern to you that my achot has left me alone to serve? Speak, then, to her to help me. 41And in reply Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu said to her, Marta, Marta, you are anxious and worried about many things, 42But one is necessary. For Miryam chose HaTov which will not be taken away from her.
