Gospel According to Luke (MLV)

Luke 10)

^10:1 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them two and two into every city and place before his face, where he himself was about to come.^10:2 And he said to them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the workers are few: therefore you* make supplication of the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workers into his harvest.^10:3 Go your* ways; behold, I send you* forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.^10:4 Carry no purse, no wallet, no sandals; and greet no one on the way.^10:5 And into whatever house you* will enter, first say, Peace be to this house.^10:6 And if a son of peace be there, your* peace will rest upon it: but if not, it will return to you*.^10:7 And abide in that same house, eating and drinking such things as they give: for* the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.^10:8 And into whatever city you* enter and they receive you*, eat such things as are set before you*:^10:9 and heal the sick who are in it and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near to you*.^10:10 But into whatever city you* will enter and they do not receive you*, go out into the streets of it and say,^10:11 Even the dust from your* city, that sticks to our feet, we wipe off against you*. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.^10:12 I say to you*, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.^10:13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if the miracles had happened in Tyre and Sidon, which have happened in you*, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.^10:14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you*.^10:15 And you, Capernaum, shall you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to Hades.^10:16 He who hears you* hears me; and he who rejects you* rejects me; and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.

^10:17 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name.^10:18 And he said to them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.^10:19 Behold, I have given you* authority to trample down serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing will in any way hurt you*.^10:20 Nevertheless in this do not rejoice, that the spirits are subject to you*; but rejoice that your* names are written in heaven.

^10:21 In that same hour he was glad in the Holy Spirit and said, I praise you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you hid these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father; because in this manner it became well-pleasing in your sight.^10:22 All things have been delivered 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 he to whomever the Son wills to reveal him. ^10:23 And turning to the disciples, he said privately, The eyes which see what you* see are blessed:^10:24 for* 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.

^10:25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

^10:26 And he said to him, What is written in the law? How does it read to you?

^10:27 And he answering said, 'You will love* the Lord your God _<13>with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.' {Dt. 6:5 & Lev. 19:18}

^10:28 And he said to him, You have answered right: do this and you will live.

^10:29 But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus and who is my neighbor?

^10:30 Jesus replying said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and laid wounds on him. They departed, leaving him half dead.^10:31 And by coincidence a certain priest was going down that way and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.^10:32 And similarly a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.^10:33 But a certain journeying Samaritan came to him and having seen him, was moved with compassion.^10:34 And having come near to him, he bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine; and having mounted him upon his own animal, brought him to an inn and took care of him.^10:35 And on the next day he took out two denarius and gave them to the innkeeper and said, Take care of him; and if you overspend that, I will repay you when I come back again.^10:36 Therefore which one of these three, seems to have been a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?

^10:37 And he said, He who had mercy on him.

And Jesus said to him, Go and you do similarly.

^10:38 Now 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.^10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat against the feet of Jesus and heard his word.^10:40 But Martha was greatly distracted about serving; and she standing by him, said, Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Therefore speak to her that* she may help me.

^10:41 But the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and disturbed about many things:^10:42 but there is need of one thing and Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.
