| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him two by two into every town and place where he himself was about to go. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Go! I am sending you out like lambs surrounded by wolves. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Do not carry a money bag, a traveler's bag, or sandals, and greet no one on the road. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Whenever you enter a house, first say, 'May peace be on this house!' |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6And if a peace-loving person is there, your peace will remain on him, but if not, it will return to you. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Stay in that same house, eating and drinking what they give you, for the worker deserves his pay. Do not move around from house to house. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Whenever you enter a town and the people welcome you, eat what is set before you. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Heal the sick in that town and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come upon you!' |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10But whenever you enter a town and the people do not welcome you, go into its streets and say, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this: The kingdom of God has come.' |
| 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] | 13"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done 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 in the judgment than for you! |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be thrown 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 the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me." |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Then the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name!" |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18So he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Look, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions and on the full force of the enemy, and nothing will hurt you. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names stand written in heaven." |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21On that same occasion Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22All things have been given to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides to reveal him." |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Then Jesus turned to his 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 longed 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] | 25Now an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus, saying, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you understand it?" |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27The expert answered, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself." |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Jesus said to him, "You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live." |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29But the expert, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him up, and went off, leaving him half dead. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Now by chance a priest was going down that road, but when he saw the injured man he passed by on the other side. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32So too a Levite, when he came up to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33But a Samaritan who was traveling came to where the injured man was, and when he saw him, he felt compassion for him. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34He went up 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 silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him, and whatever else you spend, I will repay you when I come back this way.' |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36Which of these three do you think became a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?" |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37The expert in religious law said, "The one who showed mercy to him." So Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same." |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him as a guest. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he said. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40But Martha was distracted with all the preparations she had to make, so she came up to him and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the work alone? Tell her to help me." |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things, |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the best part; it will not be taken away from her." |
