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 before his face 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, 'Shalom
be to this house.' {10:6} If a son of shalom is there, your shalom
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 the
streets of it 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 Sedom than for that city.
{10:13} "Woe to you, Kora'zin! Woe to you, Beit-Tzaidah! For if the
mighty works had been done in Tzor and Tzidon 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 Tzor and Tzidon in the
judgment than for you. {10:15} You, Kafar-Nachum, who are exalted to
heaven, will be brought down to She'ol. {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 Hasatan 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 [1>]Ruach
HaKodesh[<1], and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and
[2>]eretz[<2], 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 [3>]talmidim[<3], 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 [4>]talmidim[<4], 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 lawyer stood up and tested him, saying,
"Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
{10:26} He said to him, "What is written in the law? 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; and your neighbor as yourself."
{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
Yerushalayim to Yericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped
him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. {10:31} By
chance a certain [5>]Kohen[<5] 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 Shomroni, as he journeyed, 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 Marta received him into her
house. {10:39} She had a sister called Miryam, who also sat at
Yeshua#s feet, and heard his word. {10:40} But Marta 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, "Marta, Marta, you are anxious and
troubled about many things, {10:42} but one thing is needed. Miryam
has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
