[Luke 10]

 

             {Luk 10:1-24; Probably Judea, Oct., 29 AD; no parallel.}

             ^10:1 Now after these things, the Lord also delegated seventy others, and sent them two apiece {i.e., two by two} into every city and place before his face, where he himself was about to go. ^10:2 Therefore, he was saying to them, The harvest is indeed large, but the workers are few, therefore, beseech^° the Lord of the harvest, ^*that he should put forth workers into his harvest. ^10:3 Proceed-away^°, behold, I am sending you^° forth like lambs in the midst of wolves. ^10:4 Bear^° no money-bag, no knapsack, nor shoes, and greet no one down the road. ^10:5 Now into whatever house you^° enter, say^° first, Peace to this house. ^10:6 And if a son of peace is there, your^° peace will rest upon it, otherwise it will revisit you^°. ^10:7 Now abide^° in that same house, eating and drinking from their things; for^* the worker is worthy of his wages. Do^° not go-away from house to house.

             ^10:8 And into whatever city you^° may enter, and if they accept you^°, eat^° what things are placed beside you^°; ^10:9 and heal^° the sick who are in it and say^° to them, The kingdom of God has drawn near to you^°. ^10:10 But into whatever city you^° enter, and if they do not accept you^°, after you^° have gone forth into its streets, say^°, ^10:11 Even the dust from your^° city, what was glued to us, we wipe off to you^°. However, know^° this, that the kingdom of God has drawn near, even upon you^°. ^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 which happened in Tyre and Sidon, the ones which happened in you^°, they would have repented long-ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. ^10:14 However it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you^°. ^10:15 And you, Capernaum, which was exalted to heaven. You will be descending to Hades. ^10:16 The one hearing you^°, hears me; and the one rejecting you^°, rejects me; and the one rejecting me, rejects the one who sent me.

 

             ^10:17 Now the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name.

             ^10:18 But he said to them, I was viewing the Adversary, how he fell like lightning from heaven. ^10:19 Behold, I am giving you^° authority to trample serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing should hurt you^°. Never! ^10:20 However, do^° not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you^°, but rejoice^° that your^° names were written in the heavens.

 

             ^10:21 Jesus was glad in the spirit in that same hour, and said, I profess you, Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to infants. Yes Father, because thus it became a delight before you.

             ^10:22 And after he was turned toward the disciples, he said, All things were given 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 after he was turned toward the disciples, he said privately, The eyes, the ones seeing what you^° see, are fortunate. ^10:24 For^* I say to you^°, Many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you^° are seeing and did not see them, and to hear the things which you^° are hearing and did not hear them.

 

             {Luk 10:25-37; Probably Judea; no parallel.}

             ^10:25 And behold, a certain professor of the law stood up, testing him and saying, Teacher, by doing^* what, will I be inheriting everlasting life?

             ^10:26 But he said to him, What has been written in the law? How do you read it?

             ^10:27 But he answered and said, ‘You will love^* the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole strength and from your whole mind, and your neighbor like yourself.’ {Deu 6:5 & Lev 19:18}

             ^10:28 But he said to him, You answered correctly. Do^* this and you will live.

             ^10:29 But he, wishing to make himself righteous, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

             ^10:30 But Jesus took it in and 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 went away, and left him, being half dead.

             ^10:31 But a certain priest was going-down on that road according-to {i.e., by} coincidence, and saw him and evaded him. ^10:32 Now likewise, a Levite also happened to be in the place, after he came and saw him and evaded him too.

             ^10:33 But a certain traveling Samaritan came before him, and saw him and had compassion. ^10:34 And after he went to him, he bound up his various traumas, pouring upon them oil and wine, and mounted him upon his own animal; he led him to an inn and cared for him. ^10:35 And upon the next-day, before he went forth, he put out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, Care for him, and anything whatever you spend over that, I will be repaying you, in the time for me to come back through again. ^10:36 Therefore, who of these three seems to you to have become a neighbor to the one who fell among the robbers?

             ^10:37 Now he said, He who practiced an act of mercy with him.

             Therefore, Jesus said to him, Travel on, and you, do^* likewise!

 

             {Luk 10:38-42; Bethany, near Jerusalem; no parallel.}

             ^10:38 But it happened while^* they were also traveling, he himself entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, Martha by name, accepted him into her house. ^10:39 And there was to her, a sister called Mary, who also sat beside the feet of Jesus and was hearing his word. ^10:40 But Martha was being distracted concerning much service for them, and she stood up, and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister was leaving me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her in-order-that she may jointly help me.

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