| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1After this, the Lord appointed 70 other disciples and was about to send them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place that he intended to go. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2So he instructed them, "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers out into his harvest. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Get going! See, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Don't carry a wallet, a traveling bag, or sandals, and don't greet anyone on the way. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"Whatever house you go into, first say, 'May there be peace in this house.' |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6If a peaceful person lives there, your greeting of peace will remain with him. But if that's not the case, your greeting will come back to you. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Stay with the same family, eating and drinking whatever they provide, because the worker deserves his pay. Don't move from house to house. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8"Whenever you go into a town and the people welcome you, eat whatever they serve you, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9heal the sick that are there, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you!' |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10But whenever you go into a town and people don't welcome you, go out into its streets and say, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11We're wiping off your town's dust that clings to our feet in protest against you! But realize this: the kingdom of God is near!' |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I tell you, on the last day it will be easier for Sodom than for that town!" |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13"How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14It will be easier for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you! |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15And you, Capernaum! You won't be lifted up to heaven, will you? You'll go down to Hell! |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16The person who listens to you listens to me, and the person who rejects you rejects me. The person who rejects me rejects the one who sent me." |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17The 70 disciples came back and joyously reported, "Lord, even the demons are submitting to us in your name!" |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18He told them, "I watched Satan falling from heaven like lightning. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Look! I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to destroy all the enemy's power, and nothing will ever hurt you. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20However, stop rejoicing because the spirits are submitting to you. Instead, rejoice because your names are written in heaven." |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21At that moment, the Holy Spirit made Jesus extremely joyful, so Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this is what was pleasing to you. |
| 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 the person to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Then turning to his disciples in private, he told them, "How blessed are the eyes that see what you see! |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Because I tell you, many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn't see them, and to hear the things you hear but didn't hear them." |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Just then an expert in the Law stood up to test Jesus. He asked, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Jesus answered him, "What is written in the Law? What do you read there?" |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27He answered, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And you must love your neighbor as yourself." |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Jesus told him, "You have answered correctly. 'Do this, and you will live.'" |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29But the man wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30After careful consideration, Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31By chance, a priest was traveling along that road. When he saw the man, he went by on the other side. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Similarly, a descendant of Levi came to that place. When he saw the man, he also went by on the other side. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33But as he was traveling along, a Samaritan came across the man. When the Samaritan saw him, he was moved with compassion. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. 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, saying, 'Take good care of him. If you spend more than that, I'll repay you when I come back.' |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36"Of these three men, who do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the bandits?" |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37He said, "The one who showed mercy to him." Jesus told him, "Go and do what he did." |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Now as they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. 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 down at the Lord's feet and kept listening to what he was saying. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40But Martha was worrying about all the things she had to do, so she came to him and asked, "Lord, you do care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself, don't you? Then tell her to help me." |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41The Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42But there's only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her." |
