Luke 10
10
1Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come. 2And he said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest. 3Go: behold I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on the way. 5And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house. 6And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if not it shall turn to you again. 7And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. 8And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you, 9and heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you. 10But into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh. 12I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city. 13Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. 15And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. 16He that hears you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.
17And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name. 18And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven. 19Behold, I give you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in anywise injure you. 20Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens. 21In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight. 22All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal him. 23And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see. 24For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold, and did not see them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear them.
25And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal? 26And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live. 29But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30And Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state. 31And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side; 32and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked at him and passed on on the opposite side. 33But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion, 34and came up to him and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to the inn and took care of him. 35And on the morrow as he left, taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, I will render to thee on my coming back. 36Which now of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into the hands of the robbers? 37And he said, He that shewed him mercy. And Jesus said to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38And it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house. 39And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word. 40Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me. 41But Jesus answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things; 42but there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her.

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,#Mt 9:37–38; Jn 4:35 “The harvest#Rv 14:15 is abundant, but the workers#Mt 20:1 are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.#2Th 3:1 3Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.#Mt 7:15; 10:16; Jn 10:12; Ac 20:29 4Don’t carry a money-bag,#Lk 12:33; 22:35–36 traveling bag,#Mk 6:8; Lk 9:3; 22:35–36 or sandals; #Mt 10:9–10 don’t greet anyone along the road. 5Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace#Mt 11:26; Lk 10:21; 12:51 to this household.’ 6If a person of peace is there, your peace#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.#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.#1Co 10:27 9Heal the sick#Mt 10:8; 1Th 5:14 who are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God#Mt 12:28; Lk 11:20; 17:20 has come near#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.#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#Mt 7:22; 13:1; Lk 17:31; 2Pt 3:10 it will be more tolerable for Sodom#Rv 11:8 than for that town.#Mt 10:15; 11:22,24; Lk 10:14
Unrepentant Towns
13 “Woe #
Mt 11:20–24
to you,#Ezk 16:23; Mt 23:13–16; Lk 6:24; Rv 9:12 Chorazin!#Mt 11:21 Woe to you, Bethsaida!#Jn 12:21 For if the miracles#Ex 3:20; Lk 19:37; Ac 2:22 that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon,#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.#Est 4:1,3; Dn 9:3; Jnh 3:6 14But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment#Ps 1:5; Mt 12:41 than for you. 15And you, Capernaum,#Mt 4:13; Lk 4:23,31; 7:1 will you be exalted to heaven?#Ac 2:33 No, you will go down to Hades.#Is 14:12–15; Ac 2:27 16Whoever listens to you listens to me.#Mt 10:40; Jn 13:20 Whoever rejects you rejects me.#Mt 25:45; Lk 9:48; Jn 12:48 And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”#Jn 5:23; 1Th 4:8
The Return of the Seventy-Two
17The seventy-two#10:17 Other mss read The seventy#Ezk 8:11 returned with joy, saying,#Mk 16:17–18; Jn 12:31 “Lord, even the demons#Rv 9:20 submit to us in your name.”#Jn 10:25; 14:13
18He said to them, “I watched Satan#Mt 4:1,10; Ac 13:10; Rv 12:9 fall from heaven like lightning.#Mt 28:3; Col 2:15 19Look, I have given you the authority#Mk 1:22 to trample#Lk 21:24; Rv 11:2 on snakes#Gn 3:16; Mt 23:33; Rv 9:19 and scorpions#Lk 11:12; Rv 9:3 and over all the power of the enemy; #Mt 13:39; 1Co 15:25 nothing at all will harm you.#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 #1Tm 4:1; 1Jn 4:1 submit to you,#Mt 7:22–23 but rejoice that your names are written#Ex 32:32; Neh 9:38; Mal 3:16 in heaven.”
The Son Reveals the Father
21At that time#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#Lk 2:27; 4:1; 19:21; Ac 2:4 and said, “I praise#10:21 Or thank, or confess you, Father,#Mt 7:21; Lk 23:34,46; Jn 8:42; 11:41; 12:27–28; 17:1–25 Lord of heaven and earth,#Gn 14:19; Ac 17:24 because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent#Is 44:25; Jr 8:9; Ac 13:7; 1Co 1:19–27; 3:19–20 and revealed them to infants.#Ps 8:2; Mt 21:16 Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure.#10:21 Lit was well-pleasing in your sight#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.”#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.”#Jn 8:56; Heb 11:13; 1Pt 1:10–12
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25Then#Mt 22:34–40; Mk 12:28–34 an expert in the law#Lk 7:30 stood up to test#Mt 16:1; 19:3 him, saying, “Teacher,#Mt 8:19; Lk 3:12; Jn 1:38 what must I do to inherit eternal life?” #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#Lk 4:8 with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,”#Dt 6:5 and “your neighbor as yourself.”#10:27 Lv 19:18; Dt 6:5#Lv 19:18
28 “You’ve answered correctly,” he told him. “Do this and you will live.”#Lv 18:5; Neh 9:29; Ezk 20:11; Rm 10:5; Gl 3:12
29But wanting to justify himself,#Lk 16:15 he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” #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#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.#Lk 7:13; 15:20 34He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil#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#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#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#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#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#Rm 8:26
41The Lord#10:41 Other mss read Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things,#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#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.”
