| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2And He was saying to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3"Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4"Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.' |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6"If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7"Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8"Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you; |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10"But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.' |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14"But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15"And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades! |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16"The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me." |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20"Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven." |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22"All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Turning to the disciples, He said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them." |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?" |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27And he answered, "YOU SHALL 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 YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE." |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31"And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32"Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33"But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35"On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36"Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?" |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same." |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me." |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." |
