10After 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. 3Go 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.
