| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’ |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’ |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’ |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.” |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.” |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.” |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25One day an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26“What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?” |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ” |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28“You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.” |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’ |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37“The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!” |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.” |
