Chapter 10 |
|
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. |
