|
|
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.
