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. |
