¹ After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

² Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

³ Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

⁴ Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

⁵ And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

⁶ And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

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

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

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

¹⁰ But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

¹¹ Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

¹² But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

¹³ Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴ But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

¹⁵ And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

¹⁶ He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

¹⁷ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

¹⁸ And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

¹⁹ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

²⁰ Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

²¹ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

²² All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

²³ And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

²⁴ For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

²⁵ And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

²⁶ He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷ 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 neighbour as thyself.

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

²⁹ But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

³⁰ And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

³¹ And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³² And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

³³ But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

³⁴ And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

³⁵ And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

³⁶ Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

³⁷ And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

³⁸ Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

⁴⁰ But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

⁴¹ And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

⁴² But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

^{1 G1161} After ^G3326 these things ^G5023 the Lord ^G2962 appointed ^G322 other ^G2087 seventy ^G1440 also, ^G2532 and ^G2532 sent ^G649 them ^G846 two ^G303 and two ^G1417 before ^G4253 his ^G846 face ^G4383 into ^G1519 every ^G3956 city ^G4172 and ^G2532 place, ^G5117 whither ^{G3757 G3739} he himself ^G846 would ^G3195 come. ^G2064

² Therefore ^G3767 said he ^G3004 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 The harvest ^G2326 truly ^G3303 is great, ^G4183 but ^G1161 the labourers ^G2040 are few: ^G3641 pray ye ^G1189 therefore ^G3767 the Lord ^G2962 of the harvest, ^G2326 that ^G3704 he would send forth ^G1544 labourers ^G2040 into ^G1519 his ^G846 harvest. ^G2326

³ Go your ways: ^G5217 behold, ^G2400 I ^G1473 send ^G649 you ^G5209 forth ^G649 as ^G5613 lambs ^G704 among ^{G1722 G3319} wolves. ^G3074

⁴ Carry ^G941 neither ^G3361 purse, ^G905 nor ^G3361 scrip, ^G4082 nor ^G3366 shoes: ^G5266 and ^G2532 salute ^G782 no man ^G3367 by ^G2596 the way. ^G3598

⁵ And ^G1161 into ^G1519 whatsoever ^{G3739 G302} house ^G3614 ye enter, ^G1525 first ^G4412 say, ^G3004 Peace ^G1515 be to this ^G5129 house. ^G3624

⁶ And ^G2532 if ^{G1437 G3303} the son ^G5207 of peace ^G1515 be ^G5600 there, ^G1563 your ^G5216 peace ^G1515 shall rest ^G1879 upon ^G1909 it: ^G846 if not, ^G1490 it shall turn ^G344 to ^G1909 you ^G5209 again. ^G344

⁷ And ^G1161 in ^G1722 the same ^G846 house ^G3614 remain, ^G3306 eating ^G2068 and ^G2532 drinking ^G4095 such things as ^G3844 they ^G846 give: ^G3844 for ^G1063 the labourer ^G2040 is ^G2076 worthy ^G514 of his ^G846 hire. ^G3408 Go ^G3327 not ^G3361 from ^G1537 house ^G3614 to ^G1519 house. ^G3614

⁸ And ^G2532 into ^G1519 whatsoever ^{G1161 G3739 G302} city ^G4172 ye enter, ^G1525 and ^G2532 they receive ^G1209 you, ^G5209 eat such things ^G2068 as are set before ^G3908 you: ^G5213

⁹ And ^G2532 heal ^G2323 the sick ^G772 that are therein, ^{G1722 G846} and ^G2532 say ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 The kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 is come nigh ^G1448 unto ^G1909 you. ^G5209

¹⁰ But ^G1161 into ^G1519 whatsoever ^{G3739 G302} city ^G4172 ye enter, ^G1525 and ^G2532 they receive ^G1209 you ^G5209 not, ^G3361 go your ways out ^G1831 into ^G1519 the streets ^G4113 of the same, ^G846 and say, ^G2036

¹¹ Even ^G2532 the very dust ^G2868 of ^G1537 your ^G5216 city, ^G4172 which ^G3588 cleaveth ^G2853 on us, ^G2254 we do wipe off ^G631 against you: ^G5213 notwithstanding ^G4133 be ye sure ^G1097 of this, ^G5124 that ^G3754 the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 is come nigh ^G1448 unto ^G1909 you. ^G5209

¹² But ^G1161 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 that ^G3754 it shall be ^G2071 more tolerable ^G414 in ^G1722 that ^G1565 day ^G2250 for Sodom, ^G4670 than ^G2228 for that ^G1565 city. ^G4172

¹³ Woe ^G3759 unto thee, ^G4671 Chorazin! ^G5523 woe ^G3759 unto thee, ^G4671 Bethsaida! ^G966 for ^G3754 if ^G1487 the mighty works ^G1411 had been done ^G1096 in ^G1722 Tyre ^G5184 and ^G2532 Sidon, ^G4605 which ^G3588 have been done ^G1096 in ^G1722 you, ^G5213 they had ^G3340 a great while ago ^G3819 repented, ^G3340 sitting ^G2521 in ^{G302 G1722} sackcloth ^G4526 and ^G2532 ashes. ^G4700

¹⁴ But ^G4133 it shall be ^G2071 more tolerable ^G414 for Tyre ^G5184 and ^G2532 Sidon ^G4605 at ^G1722 the judgment, ^G2920 than ^G2228 for you. ^G5213

¹⁵ And ^G2532 thou, ^G4771 Capernaum, ^G2584 which ^G3588 art exalted ^G5312 to ^G2193 heaven, ^G3772 shalt be thrust down ^G2601 to ^G2193 hell. ^G86

¹⁶ He that heareth ^G191 you ^G5216 heareth ^G191 me; ^G1700 and ^G2532 he that despiseth ^G114 you ^G5209 despiseth ^G114 me; ^G1691 and ^G1161 he that despiseth ^G114 me ^G1691 despiseth ^G114 him that sent ^G649 me. ^G3165

¹⁷ And ^G1161 the seventy ^G1440 returned again ^G5290 with ^G3326 joy, ^G5479 saying, ^G3004 Lord, ^G2962 even ^G2532 the devils ^G1140 are subject ^G5293 unto us ^G2254 through ^G1722 thy ^G4675 name. ^G3686

¹⁸ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 I beheld ^G2334 Satan ^G4567 as ^G5613 lightning ^G796 fall ^G4098 from ^G1537 heaven. ^G3772

¹⁹ Behold, ^G2400 I give ^G1325 unto you ^G5213 power ^G1849 to tread ^G3961 on ^G1883 serpents ^G3789 and ^G2532 scorpions, ^G4651 and ^G2532 over ^G1909 all ^G3956 the power ^G1411 of the enemy: ^G2190 and ^G2532 nothing ^G3762 shall ^G91 by any means ^G3364 hurt ^{G91 G91} you. ^G5209

²⁰ Notwithstanding ^G4133 in ^G1722 this ^G5129 rejoice ^G5463 not, ^G3361 that ^G3754 the spirits ^G4151 are subject ^G5293 unto you; ^G5213 but ^G1161 rather ^G3123 rejoice, ^G5463 because ^G3754 your ^G5216 names ^G3686 are written ^G1125 in ^G1722 heaven. ^G3772

²¹ In ^G1722 that ^G846 hour ^G5610 Jesus ^G2424 rejoiced in ^G21 spirit, ^G4151 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 I thank ^G1843 thee, ^G4671 O Father, ^G3962 Lord ^G2962 of heaven ^G3772 and ^G2532 earth, ^G1093 that ^G3754 thou hast hid ^G613 these things ^G5023 from ^G575 the wise ^G4680 and ^G2532 prudent, ^G4908 and ^G2532 hast revealed ^G601 them ^G846 unto babes: ^G3516 even so, ^G3483 Father; ^G3962 for ^G3754 so ^G3779 it seemed ^G1096 good ^G2107 in ^G1715 thy ^G4675 sight. ^G1715

²² All things ^G3956 are delivered ^G3860 to me ^G3427 of ^G5259 my ^G3450 Father: ^G3962 and ^G2532 no man ^G3762 knoweth ^G1097 who ^G5101 the Son ^G5207 is, ^G2076 but ^G1508 the Father; ^G3962 and ^G2532 who ^G5101 the Father ^G3962 is, ^G2076 but ^G1508 the Son, ^G5207 and ^G2532 he to whom ^{G3739 G1437} the Son ^G5207 will ^G1014 reveal ^G601 him.

²³ And ^G2532 he turned him ^G4762 unto ^G4314 his disciples, ^G3101 and said ^G2036 privately, ^{G2398 G2596} Blessed ^G3107 are the eyes ^G3788 which ^G3588 see ^G991 the things that ^G3739 ye see: ^G991

²⁴ For ^G1063 I tell ^G3004 you, ^G5213 that ^G3754 many ^G4183 prophets ^G4396 and ^G2532 kings ^G935 have desired ^G2309 to see ^G1492 those things which ^G3739 ye ^G5210 see, ^G991 and ^G2532 have ^G1492 not ^G3756 seen ^G1492 them; and ^G2532 to hear ^G191 those things which ^G3739 ye hear, ^G191 and ^G2532 have ^G191 not ^G3756 heard ^G191 them.

²⁵ And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 a certain ^G5100 lawyer ^G3544 stood up, ^G450 and ^G2532 tempted ^G1598 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Master, ^G1320 what ^G5101 shall I do ^G4160 to inherit ^G2816 eternal ^G166 life? ^G2222

^{26 G1161} He said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 What ^G5101 is written ^G1125 in ^G1722 the law? ^G3551 how ^G4459 readest thou? ^G314

²⁷ And ^G1161 he answering ^G611 said, ^G2036 Thou shalt love ^G25 the Lord ^G2962 thy ^G4675 God ^G2316 with ^G1537 all ^G3650 thy ^G4675 heart, ^G2588 and ^G2532 with ^G1537 all ^G3650 thy ^G4675 soul, ^G5590 and ^G2532 with ^G1537 all ^G3650 thy ^G4675 strength, ^G2479 and ^G2532 with ^G1537 all ^G3650 thy ^G4675 mind; ^G1271 and ^G2532 thy ^G4675 neighbour ^G4139 as ^G5613 thyself. ^G4572

²⁸ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Thou hast answered ^G611 right: ^G3723 this ^G5124 do, ^G4160 and ^G2532 thou shalt live. ^G2198

²⁹ But ^G1161 he, willing ^G2309 to justify ^G1344 himself, ^G1438 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 Jesus, ^G2424 And ^G2532 who ^G5101 is ^G2076 my ^G3450 neighbour? ^G4139

³⁰ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 answering ^G5274 said, ^G2036 A certain ^G5100 man ^G444 went down ^G2597 from ^G575 Jerusalem ^G2419 to ^G1519 Jericho, ^G2410 and ^G2532 fell among ^G4045 thieves, ^G3027 which ^{G3739 G2532} stripped ^G1562 him ^G846 of his raiment, ^G1562 and ^G2532 wounded ^{G4127 G2007} him, and departed, ^G565 leaving ^G863 him half dead. ^{G2253 G5177}

³¹ And ^G1161 by ^G2596 chance ^G4795 there came down ^G2597 a certain ^G5100 priest ^G2409 that ^{G1722 G1565} way: ^G3598 and ^G2532 when he saw ^G1492 him, ^G846 he passed by on the other side. ^G492

³² And ^G1161 likewise ^{G3668 G2532} a Levite, ^G3019 when he was ^G1096 at ^G2596 the place, ^G5117 came ^G2064 and ^G2532 looked ^G1492 on him, and passed by on the other side. ^G492

³³ But ^G1161 a certain ^G5100 Samaritan, ^G4541 as he journeyed, ^G3593 came ^G2064 where ^G2596 he was: ^G846 and ^G2532 when he saw ^G1492 him, ^G846 he had compassion ^G4697 on him,

³⁴ And ^G2532 went ^G4334 to him, and bound up ^G2611 his ^G846 wounds, ^G5134 pouring in ^G2022 oil ^G1637 and ^G2532 wine, ^G3631 and ^G1161 set ^G1913 him ^G846 on ^G1909 his own ^G2398 beast, ^G2934 and brought ^G71 him ^G846 to ^G1519 an inn, ^G3829 and ^G2532 took care ^G1959 of him. ^G846

³⁵ And ^G2532 on ^G1909 the morrow ^G839 when he departed, ^G1831 he took out ^G1544 two ^G1417 pence, ^G1220 and gave ^G1325 them to the host, ^G3830 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Take care ^G1959 of him; ^G846 and ^G2532 whatsoever ^{G3748 G302} thou spendest more, ^G4325 when I ^G3165 come again, ^{G1722 G1880} I ^G1473 will repay ^G591 thee. ^G4671

³⁶ Which ^G5101 now ^G3767 of these ^G5130 three, ^G5140 thinkest ^G1380 thou, ^G4671 was ^G1096 neighbour ^G4139 unto him that fell ^G1706 among ^G1519 the thieves? ^G3027

³⁷ And ^G1161 he said, ^G2036 He that shewed ^G4160 mercy ^G1656 on ^G3326 him. ^G846 Then ^G3767 said ^G2036 Jesus ^G2424 unto him, ^G846 Go, ^G4198 and ^G2532 do ^G4160 thou ^G4771 likewise. ^G3668

³⁸ Now ^G1161 it came to pass, ^G1096 as ^G1722 they ^G846 went, ^G4198 that ^G2532 he ^G846 entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 a certain ^G5100 village: ^G2968 and ^G1161 a certain ^G5100 woman ^G1135 named ^G3686 Martha ^G3136 received ^G5264 him ^G846 into ^G1519 her ^G846 house. ^G3624

³⁹ And ^G2532 she ^G3592 had ^G2258 a sister ^G79 called ^G2564 Mary, ^G3137 which ^G3739 also ^G2532 sat ^G3869 at ^G3844 Jesus' ^G2424 feet, ^G4228 and heard ^G191 his ^G846 word. ^G3056

⁴⁰ But ^G1161 Martha ^G3136 was cumbered ^G4049 about ^G4012 much ^G4183 serving, ^G1248 and ^G1161 came to him, ^G2186 and said, ^G2036 Lord, ^G2962 dost ^G3199 thou ^G4671 not ^G3756 care ^G3199 that ^G3754 my ^G3450 sister ^G79 hath left ^G2641 me ^G3165 to serve ^G1247 alone? ^G3441 bid ^G2036 her ^G846 therefore ^G3767 that ^G2443 she help ^G4878 me. ^G3427

⁴¹ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto her, ^G846 Martha, ^G3136 Martha, ^G3136 thou art careful ^G3309 and ^G2532 troubled ^G5182 about ^G4012 many things: ^G4183

⁴² But ^G1161 one thing ^G1520 is ^G2076 needful: ^G5532 and ^G1161 Mary ^G3137 hath chosen ^G1586 that good ^G18 part, ^G3310 which ^G3748 shall ^G851 not ^G3756 be taken away ^G851 from ^G575 her. ^G846

---

¹ 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 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 Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

⁴ Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes; and salute no man on the way.

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

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

⁷ 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 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

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

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

¹¹ 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 I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

¹³ 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 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.

¹⁵ And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades.

¹⁶ He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.

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

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

¹⁹ 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 Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

²¹ 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 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 And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed `are' the eyes which see the things that ye see:

²⁴ 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 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

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

²⁷ 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 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

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

³⁰ 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 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

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

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

³⁴ 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 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 Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers?

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

³⁸ 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 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.

⁴⁰ 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 But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:

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

---

¹ 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 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 `Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;

⁴ carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;

⁵ and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house;

⁶ 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 `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 and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,

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

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

¹¹ 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 and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.

¹³ `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 but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.

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

¹⁶ `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 And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;'

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

¹⁹ 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 but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'

²¹ 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 `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 And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;

²⁴ 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 And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'

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

²⁷ 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 And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'

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

³⁰ 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 `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 and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.

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

³⁴ 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 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 `Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?'

³⁷ 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 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 and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

⁴⁰ 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 And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,

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

---

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

² And he said to them, The harvest indeed [is] great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest.

³ Go: behold *I* send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

⁴ Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on the way.

⁵ And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house.

⁶ And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if not it shall turn to you again.

⁷ And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.

⁸ And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you,

⁹ and heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.

¹⁰ But into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

¹¹ Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.

¹² I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.

¹³ Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴ But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

¹⁵ And *thou*, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades.

¹⁶ He that hears you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.

¹⁷ And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.

¹⁸ And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven.

¹⁹ Behold, I give you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in anywise injure you.

²⁰ Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.

²¹ In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.

²² All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal [him].

²³ And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.

²⁴ For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold, and did not see [them]; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear [them].

²⁵ And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal?

²⁶ And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷ But 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 thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself.

²⁸ And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live.

²⁹ But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

³⁰ And Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into [the hands of] robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state.

³¹ And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side;

³² and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked [at him] and passed on on the opposite side.

³³ But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing [him], was moved with compassion,

³⁴ and came up [to him] and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to [the] inn and took care of him.

³⁵ And on the morrow [as he left], taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, *I* will render to thee on my coming back.

³⁶ Which [now] of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into [the hands of] the robbers?

³⁷ And he said, He that shewed him mercy. And Jesus said to him, Go, and do *thou* likewise.

³⁸ And it came to pass as they went that *he* entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.

³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word.

⁴⁰ Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me.

⁴¹ But Jesus answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things;

⁴² but there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her.

---

¹ 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 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 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

⁴ Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.

⁵ Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'

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

⁷ 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 Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

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

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

¹¹ '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 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

¹³ "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 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

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

¹⁶ Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."

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

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

¹⁹ 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 Nevertheless, don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

²¹ 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 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 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

²⁴ 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 Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

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

²⁷ 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 He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

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

³⁰ 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 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

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

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

³⁴ 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 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 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

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

³⁸ 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 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

⁴⁰ 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 Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

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

---

¹ Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.

² And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.

³ Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.

⁴ Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.

⁵ And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.

⁶ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.

⁷ And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.

⁸ And into whatever town you go, if they take you in, take whatever food is given to you:

⁹ And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.

¹⁰ But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,

¹¹ Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

¹² I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town.

¹³ A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.

¹⁴ But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.

¹⁵ And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell.

¹⁶ Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me.

¹⁷ And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.

¹⁸ And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star.

¹⁹ See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.

²⁰ Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.

²¹ In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.

²² All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

²³ And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:

²⁴ For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

²⁵ And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

²⁶ And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?

²⁷ And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.

²⁸ And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.

²⁹ But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

³⁰ And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.

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

³² And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.

³³ But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,

³⁴ And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.

³⁵ And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.

³⁶ Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?

³⁷ And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.

³⁸ Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.

³⁹ And she had a sister, by name Mary, who took her seat at the Lord's feet and gave attention to his words.

⁴⁰ But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.

⁴¹ But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things:

⁴² Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.
