^{1 Ref} And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,

^{2 Ref} then said he unto them, `The harvest indeed `is' abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.

^{3 Ref} `Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;

^{4 Ref} carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;

^{5 Ref} and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house;

^{6 Ref} and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.

^{7 Ref} `And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy `is' the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,

^{8 Ref} and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,

^{9 Ref} and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.

^{10 Ref} `And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,

^{11 Ref} And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;

^{12 Ref} and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.

^{13 Ref} `Wo to thee, Chorazin; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;

^{14 Ref} but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.

^{15 Ref} `And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.

^{16 Ref} `He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'

^{17 Ref} And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;'

^{18 Ref} and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;

^{19 Ref} lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;

^{20 Ref} but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'

^{21 Ref} In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.

^{22 Ref} `All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal `Him'.'

^{23 Ref} And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;

^{24 Ref} for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.'

^{25 Ref} And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'

^{26 Ref} And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?'

^{27 Ref} And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'

^{28 Ref} And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'

^{29 Ref} And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, `And who is my neighbour?'

^{30 Ref} and Jesus having taken up `the word', said, `A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving `him' half dead.

^{31 Ref} `And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;

^{32 Ref} and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.

^{33 Ref} `But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,

^{34 Ref} and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;

^{35 Ref} and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.

^{36 Ref} `Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?'

^{37 Ref} and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'

^{38 Ref} And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,

^{39 Ref} and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

^{40 Ref} and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.'

^{41 Ref} And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,

^{42 Ref} but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'

^{1 Ref} Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come.

^{2 Ref} And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

^{3 Ref} Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

^{4 Ref} Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes; and salute no man on the way.

^{5 Ref} And into whatsoever house ye shall enter, first say, Peace `be' to this house.

^{6 Ref} And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again.

^{7 Ref} And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

^{8 Ref} And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

^{9 Ref} and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

^{10 Ref} But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say,

^{11 Ref} Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we wipe off against you: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.

^{12 Ref} I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

^{13 Ref} Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, 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.

^{14 Ref} But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.

^{15 Ref} And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades.

^{16 Ref} He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.

^{17 Ref} And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name.

^{18 Ref} And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.

^{19 Ref} Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.

^{20 Ref} Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

^{21 Ref} In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.

^{22 Ref} All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal `him'.

^{23 Ref} And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed `are' the eyes which see the things that ye see:

^{24 Ref} for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

^{25 Ref} And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

^{26 Ref} And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

^{27 Ref} And 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 thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.

^{28 Ref} And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

^{29 Ref} But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

^{30 Ref} Jesus made answer and 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.

^{31 Ref} And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

^{32 Ref} And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

^{33 Ref} But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

^{34 Ref} 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.

^{35 Ref} And on the morrow he took out two shillings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee.

^{36 Ref} Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers?

^{37 Ref} And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

^{38 Ref} Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

^{39 Ref} And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.

^{40 Ref} But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

^{41 Ref} But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:

^{42 Ref} but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

^{1 Ref} Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him{literally, "before his face"} into every city and place, where he was about to come.

^{2 Ref} 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.

^{3 Ref} Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

^{4 Ref} Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.

^{5 Ref} Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'

^{6 Ref} If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

^{7 Ref} 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.

^{8 Ref} Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

^{9 Ref} Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.'

^{10 Ref} But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out into the streets of it and say,

^{11 Ref} '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.'

^{12 Ref} I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

^{13 Ref} "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.

^{14 Ref} But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

^{15 Ref} You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.{Hades is the lower realm of the dead, or Hell.}

^{16 Ref} Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."

^{17 Ref} The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!"

^{18 Ref} He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.

^{19 Ref} 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.

^{20 Ref} Nevertheless, don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

^{21 Ref} In that same hour Jesus 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."

^{22 Ref} 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."

^{23 Ref} Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

^{24 Ref} 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."

^{25 Ref} Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

^{26 Ref} He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

^{27 Ref} 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."

^{28 Ref} He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

^{29 Ref} But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"

^{30 Ref} Jesus 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.

^{31 Ref} By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

^{32 Ref} In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

^{33 Ref} But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

^{34 Ref} 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.

^{35 Ref} 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.'

^{36 Ref} Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

^{37 Ref} He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

^{38 Ref} 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.

^{39 Ref} She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

^{40 Ref} 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."

^{41 Ref} Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

^{42 Ref} but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
