10:1 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place, where he himself was about to come.
10:2 And he said to them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the workers are few: pray+ therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workers into his harvest.
10:3 Go your+ ways; look, I send you+ forth as lambs among wolves.
10:4 Carry no wallet, no bag, no sandals; and greet no man on the way.
10:5 And into whatever house you+ will enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.
10:6 And if a son of peace be there, your+ peace will rest on him: but if not, it will turn to you+ again.
10:7 And stay in that same house, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the worker is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house.
10:8 And into whatever city you+ enter, and they receive you+, eat such things as are set before you+:
10:9 and heal the sick who are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near to you+.
10:10 But into whatever city you+ will enter, and they do not receive you+, go out into its streets and say,
10:11 Even the dust from your+ city, that sticks to our feet, we wipe off against you+: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.
10:12 I say to you+, It will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
10:13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you+, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
10:14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you+.
10:15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to Hades.
10:16 He who hears you+ hears me; and he who rejects you+ rejects me; and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.
10:17 And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name.
10:18 And he said to them, I watched Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.
10:19 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 wise hurt you+.
10:20 Nevertheless don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you+; but rejoice that your+ names are written in heaven.
10:21 In that same hour he said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to juveniles: yes, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
10:22 All things have been delivered to me of my Father: and no one knows who the Son is, except the Father; and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wills to reveal [him].
10:23 And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that you+ see:
10:24 for I say to 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.
10:25 And look, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
10:26 And he said to him, What is written in the law? How do you read [it]?
10:27 And answering he said, You will love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your fellow man as yourself.
10:28 And he said to him, You have answered right: do this, and you will live.
10:29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my fellow man?
10:30 Jesus replying said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
10:31 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
10:32 And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.
10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
10:34 and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on [them] oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
10:35 And on the next day he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatever you spend more, I, when I come back again, will repay you.
10:36 Which of these three, do you think, had been the fellow man of him who fell among the robbers?
10:37 And he said, He who showed mercy on him. And Jesus said to him, Go, and you do likewise.
10:38 Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him.
10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.
10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much service; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, don't you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Then tell her to help me.
10:41 But the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and upset about many things:
10:42 but one thing is needful: for Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.
