Luke 10

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two
1After this the Lord appointed 72 others and sent them out two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2He told them, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest field. 3Go! I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4Don’t take a purse or a bag or sandals, and don’t stop to greet anyone on the road.
5“When you enter a house, first say, ‘May this house be blessed with peace.’ 6If a peacemaker lives there, your blessing of peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7Stay there and eat and drink whatever they give you, because workers are worthy of their pay. Don’t move around from house to house.
8“If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat what they give you. 9Heal the sick who are there and tell everyone, ‘God’s kingdom has come near you.’ 10But if you enter a town and they don’t welcome you, go into its streets and say, 11‘We wipe even the dust of your town from our feet! We do this to warn you, and here is what you can be sure of: God’s kingdom has come near.’ 12I tell you this: On judgment day, it will be better for Sodom than for that town.
13“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, long ago they would have turned away from their sins. They would have put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re mourning, and they would have sat down in ashes. 14On judgment day it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be lifted up to the heavens? No! You will go down to the place of the dead.
16“Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever does not accept you does not accept me. But whoever does not accept me does not accept the one who sent me.”
17The 72 returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we speak in your name!”
18Jesus answered, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19I’ve given you authority to stomp on snakes and scorpions, to destroy all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. 20But don’t be glad because the evil spirits obey you; instead, be glad that your names are written in heaven.”
21At that time Jesus was filled with joy through the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you’ve hidden these things from wise and educated people and shown them to little children. Yes, Father, this is what you wanted to do.
22“My Father has given all things to me. No one knows who the Son is except for the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except for the Son and anyone the Son chooses to make the Father known to.”
23Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said to them privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24I tell you, many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. They wanted to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.”
The Story of the Good Samaritan
25One day an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to have eternal life?”
26“What is written in the Law?” Jesus answered. “How do you understand it?”
27He replied, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind,’ and, ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ”
28“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do that, and you will live.”
29But the man wanted to prove himself right, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30Jesus responded, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when robbers attacked him, stripped him of his clothes, and beat him. Then they went away, leaving him almost dead. 31A priest happened to be going down that same road, but when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32A Levite also came by, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side too. 33But a Samaritan came to the place where the man was, and when he saw him, he felt compassion for him. 34He went over to him and poured olive oil and wine on his wounds and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and brought him to an inn, and there he took care of him. 35The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the owner of the inn. ‘Take care of this man,’ he told him. ‘When I return, I’ll pay you for any extra expenses this doesn’t cover.’
36“Which of the three,” Jesus asked, “do you think was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by the robbers?”
37The expert in the law replied, “The one who took care of him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do as he did.”
Jesus at the Home of Martha and Mary
38As Jesus was on his way with his disciples, he came to a certain village, and there a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40Martha, meanwhile, was busy with all the entertaining. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are anxious and upset about many things, 42but few things are needed—actually, only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Luke 10

Lk 9.1-2,51-52; 7.13. After this the Lord appointed seventy#10.1 Other ancient authorities read seventy-two others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. 2#Mt 9.37-38; Jn 4.35. And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3#Mt 10.7-16; Mk 6.8-11; Lk 9.2-5; 22.35-36. Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road. 5#1 Sam 25.6. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’ 6And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you. 7#1 Cor 10.27; 9.14; 1 Tim 5.18; Deut 24.15. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house. 8Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you; 9heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11#Acts 13.51. ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you; nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ 12#Mt 11.24; Gen 19.24-28; Jude 7. I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

Mt 11.21-23; Lk 6.24-26. “Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Beth-saida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14But it shall be more tolerable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15And you, Caperna-um, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.

Mt 10.40; 18.5; Mk 9.37; Lk 9.48; Jn 13.20; 12.48. “He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17The seventy#10.17 Other ancient authorities read seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18#Rev 12.9; Jn 12.31. And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you. 20#Ex 32.32; Ps 69.28; Dan 12.1; Phil 4.3; Heb 12.23; Rev 3.5; 13.8; 21.27. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Mt 11.25-27. #1 Cor 1.26-29. In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will.#10.21 Or so it was well-pleasing before thee 22#Mt 28.18; Jn 3.35; 13.3; 10.15; 17.25. All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

Mt 13.16-17; Jn 8.56; Heb 11.13; 1 Pet 1.10-12. Then turning to the disciples he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see what you see! 24For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”

Mt 22.34-39; Mk 12.28-31. #Mk 10.17; Mt 19.16; Lk 18.18. And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read?” 27#Deut 6.5; Lev 19.18; Rom 13.9; Gal 5.14; Jas 2.8. And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” 28#Lk 20.39; Lev 18.25. And he said to him, “You have answered right; do this, and you will live.”
29But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33#Lk 9.51-56; 17.11-19; Jn 4.4-42. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, 34and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35And the next day he took out two denarii#10.35 The denarius was a day's wage for a laborer and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37He said, “The one who showed mercy on him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

Jn 12.1-3; 11.1-45. Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha received him into her house. 39And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. 40But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 41#Lk 7.13. But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; 42one thing is needful.#10.42 Other ancient authorities read few things are needful, or only one Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her.”
