The Good News According to Luke, Chapter 10
{10:1} Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy
others, and sent them two by two [1>]ahead of him[<1] into every city
and place, where he was about to come. {10:2} Then he said to them,
"The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray
therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers
into his harvest. {10:3} Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs
among wolves. {10:4} Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no
one on the way. {10:5} Into whatever house you enter, first say,
'Peace be to this house.' {10:6} If a son of peace is there, your
peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. {10:7}
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give,
for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house.
{10:8} Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the
things that are set before you. {10:9} Heal the sick who are therein,
and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.' {10:10} But
into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out into
its streets and say, {10:11} 'Even the dust from your city that clings
to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the
Kingdom of God has come near to you.' {10:12} I tell 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} You, Capernaum, who are exalted to
heaven, will be brought down to [2>]Sheol.[<2] {10:16} Whoever listens
to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever
rejects me rejects him who sent me."
{10:17} The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the
demons are subject to us in your name!"
{10:18} He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning
from heaven. {10:19} Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents
and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in
any way 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 Yeshua rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and
said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have
hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them
to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your
sight."
{10:22} Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been
delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the
Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the
Son desires to reveal him."
{10:23} Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are
the eyes which see the things that you see, {10:24} for I tell you
that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see,
and didn't see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn't
hear them."
{10:25} Behold, a certain Torah scholar stood up and tested him,
saying, "Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
{10:26} He said to him, "What is written in the Torah? How do you
read it?"
{10:27} He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your
mind;[3] and your neighbor as yourself."[4]
{10:28} He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and
you will live."
{10:29} But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Yeshua, "Who is
my neighbor?"
{10:30} Yeshua answered, "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} By chance a
certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by
on the other side. {10:32} In the same way 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 traveled, came where he was. When he saw him,
he was moved with compassion, {10:34} came to him, and bound up his
wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and
brought him to an inn, and took care of him. {10:35} On the next day,
when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host,
and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I
will repay you when I return.' {10:36} Now which of these three do you
think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"
{10:37} He said, "He who showed mercy on him."
Then Yeshua said to him, "Go and do likewise."
{10:38} It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a
certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into
her house. {10:39} She had a sister called Miriam, who also sat at
Yeshua's feet, and heard his word. {10:40} But Martha was distracted
with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, don't you
care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help
me."
{10:41} Yeshua answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and
troubled about many things, {10:42} but one thing is needed. Miriam
has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
