1. After this, the Lord chose seventy-twon others and sent them out in pairs ahead of him into every town and place where he planned to go.
|
1. After G3326 these things G5023 the G3588 Lord G2962 appointed G322 other G2087 seventy G1440 also G2532 , and G2532 sent G649 them G846 two and two G303 G1417 before G4253 his G848 face G4383 into G1519 every G3956 city G4172 and G2532 place G5117 , whither G3757 he himself G846 would G3195 come G2064 .
|
|
2. He said to them, "There are a great many people to harvest, but there are only a few workers. So pray to God, who owns the harvest, that he will send more workers to help gather his harvest.
|
2. Therefore G3767 said G3004 he unto G4314 them G846 , The G3588 harvest G2326 truly G3303 is great G4183 , but G1161 the G3588 laborers G2040 are few G3641 : pray G1189 ye therefore G3767 the G3588 Lord G2962 of the G3588 harvest G2326 , that G3704 he would send forth G1544 laborers G2040 into G1519 his G848 harvest G2326 .
|
|
3. Go now, but listen! I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.
|
3. Go your ways G5217 : behold G2400 , I G1473 send you forth G649 G5209 as G5613 lambs G704 among G1722 G3319 wolves G3074 .
|
|
4. Don't carry a purse, a bag, or sandals, and don't waste time talking with people on the road.
|
4. Carry G941 neither G3361 purse G905 , nor G3361 scrip G4082 , nor G3366 shoes G5266 : and G2532 salute G782 no man G3367 by G2596 the G3588 way G3598 .
|
|
5. Before you go into a house, say, 'Peace be with this house.'
|
5. And G1161 into G1519 whatsoever G3739 G302 house G3614 ye enter G1525 , first G4412 say G3004 , Peace G1515 be to this G5129 house G3624 .
|
|
6. If peaceful people live there, your blessing of peace will stay with them, but if not, then your blessing will come back to you.
|
6. And G2532 if G1437 G3303 the G3588 son G5207 of peace G1515 be G5600 there G1563 , your G5216 peace G1515 shall rest G1879 upon G1909 it G846 : if not G1490 , it shall turn to you again G344 G1909 G5209 .
|
|
7. Stay in the peaceful house, eating and drinking what the people there give you. A worker should be given his pay. Don't move from house to house.
|
7. And G1161 in G1722 the G3588 same G846 house G3614 remain G3306 , eating G2068 and G2532 drinking G4095 such things as they give G3588 G3844 G846 : for G1063 the G3588 laborer G2040 is G2076 worthy G514 of his G848 hire G3408 . Go G3327 not G3361 from G1537 house G3614 to G1519 house G3614 .
|
|
8. If you go into a town and the people welcome you, eat what they give you.
|
8. And G2532 into G1519 G1161 whatsoever G3739 G302 city G4172 ye enter G1525 , and G2532 they receive G1209 you G5209 , eat G2068 such things as are set before G3908 you G5213 :
|
|
9. Heal the sick who live there, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.'
|
9. And G2532 heal G2323 the G3588 sick G772 that are therein G1722 G846 , and G2532 say G3004 unto them G846 , The G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 is come nigh G1448 unto G1909 you G5209 .
|
|
10. But if you go into a town, and the people don't welcome you, then go into the streets and say,
|
10. But G1161 into G1519 G1161 whatsoever G3739 G302 city G4172 ye enter G1525 , and G2532 they receive G1209 you G5209 not G3361 , go your ways out G1831 into G1519 the G3588 streets G4113 of the same G846 , and say G2036 ,
|
|
11. 'Even the dirt from your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. But remember that the kingdom of God is near.'
|
11. Even G2532 the G3588 very dust G2868 of G1537 your G5216 city G4172 , which cleaveth G2853 on us G2254 , we do wipe off G631 against you G5213 : notwithstanding G4133 be ye sure G1097 of this G5124 , that G3754 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 is come nigh G1448 unto G1909 you G5209 .
|
|
12. I tell you, on the Judgment Day it will be better for the people of Sodomn than for the people of that town.
|
12. But G1161 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , that G3754 it shall be G2071 more tolerable G414 in G1722 that G1565 day G2250 for Sodom G4670 , than G2228 for that G1565 city G4172 .
|
|
13. How terrible for you, Korazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! If the miracles I did in you had happened in Tyre and Sidon, those people would have changed their lives long ago. They would have worn rough cloth and put ashes on themselves to show they had changed.
|
13. Woe G3759 unto thee G4671 , Chorazin G5523 ! woe G3759 unto thee G4671 , Bethsaida G966 ! for G3754 if G1487 the G3588 mighty works G1411 had been done G1096 in G1722 Tyre G5184 and G2532 Sidon G4605 , which have been done G1096 in G1722 you G5213 , they had G302 a great while ago G3819 repented G3340 , sitting G2521 in G1722 sackcloth G4526 and G2532 ashes G4700 .
|
|
14. But on the Judgment Day it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
|
14. But G4133 it shall be G2071 more tolerable G414 for Tyre G5184 and G2532 Sidon G4605 at G1722 the G3588 judgment G2920 , than G2228 for you G5213 .
|
|
15. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No! You will be thrown down to the depths!
|
15. And G2532 thou G4771 , Capernaum G2584 , which art exalted G5312 to G2193 heaven G3772 , shalt be thrust down G2601 to G2193 hell G86 .
|
|
16. "Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever refuses to accept you refuses to accept me. And whoever refuses to accept me refuses to accept the One who sent me."
|
16. He that heareth G191 you G5216 heareth G191 me G1700 ; and G2532 he that despiseth G114 you G5209 despiseth G114 me G1691 ; and G1161 he that despiseth G114 me G1691 despiseth G114 him G3588 that sent G649 me G3165 .
|
|
17. When the seventy-twon came back, they were very happy and said, "Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we used your name!"
|
17. And G1161 the G3588 seventy G1440 returned again G5290 with G3326 joy G5479 , saying G3004 , Lord G2962 , even G2532 the G3588 devils G1140 are subject unto G5293 us G2254 through G1722 thy G4675 name G3686 .
|
|
18. Jesus said, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
|
18. And G1161 he said G2036 unto them G846 , I beheld G2334 Satan G4567 as G5613 lightning G796 fall G4098 from G1537 heaven G3772 .
|
|
19. Listen, I have given you power to walk on snakes and scorpions, power that is greater than the enemy has. So nothing will hurt you.
|
19. Behold G2400 , I give G1325 unto you G5213 power G1849 to tread G3961 on G1883 serpents G3789 and G2532 scorpions G4651 , and G2532 over G1909 all G3956 the G3588 power G1411 of the G3588 enemy G2190 : and G2532 nothing G3762 shall by any means G3364 hurt G91 you G5209 .
|
|
20. But you should not be happy because the spirits obey you but because your names are written in heaven."
|
20. Notwithstanding G4133 in G1722 this G5129 rejoice G5463 not G3361 , that G3754 the G3588 spirits G4151 are subject G5293 unto you G5213 ; but G1161 rather G3123 rejoice G5463 , because G3754 your G5216 names G3686 are written G1125 in G1722 heaven G3772 .
|
|
21. Then Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the people who are wise and smart. But you have shown them to those who are like little children. Yes, Father, this is what you really wanted.
|
21. In G1722 that G846 hour G5610 Jesus G2424 rejoiced G21 in spirit G4151 , and G2532 said G2036 , I thank G1843 thee G4671 , O Father G3962 , Lord G2962 of heaven G3772 and G2532 earth G1093 , that G3754 thou hast hid G613 these things G5023 from G575 the wise G4680 and G2532 prudent G4908 , and G2532 hast revealed G601 them G846 unto babes G3516 : even so G3483 , Father G3962 ; for G3754 so G3779 it seemed G1096 good G2107 in thy sight G1715 G4675 .
|
|
22. "My Father has given me all things. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father. And no one knows who the Father is, except the Son and those whom the Son chooses to tell."
|
22. All things G3956 are delivered G3860 to me G3427 of G5259 my G3450 Father G3962 : and G2532 no man G3762 knoweth G1097 who G5101 the G3588 Son G5207 is G2076 , but G1508 the G3588 Father G3962 ; and G2532 who G5101 the G3588 Father G3962 is G2076 , but G1508 the G3588 Son G5207 , and G2532 he to whom G3739 G1437 the G3588 Son G5207 will G1014 reveal G601 him.
|
|
23. Then Jesus turned to his followers and said privately, "You are blessed to see what you now see.
|
23. And G2532 he turned G4762 him unto G4314 his disciples G3101 , and said G2036 privately G2596 G2398 , Blessed G3107 are the G3588 eyes G3788 which see G991 the things that G3739 ye see G991 :
|
|
24. I tell you, many prophets and kings wanted to see what you now see, but they did not, and they wanted to hear what you now hear, but they did not."
|
24. For G1063 I tell G3004 you G5213 , that G3754 many G4183 prophets G4396 and G2532 kings G935 have desired G2309 to see G1492 those things which G3739 ye G5210 see G991 , and G2532 have not G3756 seen G1492 them ; and G2532 to hear G191 those things which G3739 ye hear G191 , and G2532 have not G3756 heard G191 them.
|
|
25. Then an expert on the law stood up to test Jesus, saying, "Teacher, what must I do to get life forever?"
|
25. And G2532 , behold G2400 , a certain G5100 lawyer G3544 stood up G450 , and tempted G1598 him G846 G2532 , saying G3004 , Master G1320 , what G5101 shall I do G4160 to inherit G2816 eternal G166 life G2222 ?
|
|
26. Jesus said, "What is written in the law? What do you read there?"
|
26. G1161 He G3588 said G2036 unto G4314 him G846 , What G5101 is written G1125 in G1722 the G3588 law G3551 ? how G4459 readest G314 thou?
|
|
27. The man answered, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind." Also, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."
|
27. And G1161 he G3588 answering G611 said G2036 , Thou shalt love G25 the Lord G2962 thy G4675 God G2316 with G1537 all G3650 thy G4675 heart G2588 , and G2532 with G1537 all G3650 thy G4675 soul G5590 , and G2532 with G1537 all G3650 thy G4675 strength G2479 , and G2532 with G1537 all G3650 thy G4675 mind G1271 ; and G2532 thy G4675 neighbor G4139 as G5613 thyself G4572 .
|
|
28. Jesus said to him, "Your answer is right. Do this and you will live."
|
28. And G1161 he said G2036 unto him G846 , Thou hast answered G611 right G3723 : this G5124 do G4160 , and G2532 thou shalt live G2198 .
|
|
29. But the man, wanting to show the importance of his question, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
|
29. But G1161 he G3588 , willing G2309 to justify G1344 himself G1438 , said G2036 unto G4314 Jesus G2424 , And G2532 who G5101 is G2076 my G3450 neighbor G4139 ?
|
|
30. Jesus answered, "As a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, some robbers attacked him. They tore off his clothes, beat him, and left him lying there, almost dead.
|
30. And G1161 Jesus G2424 answering G5274 said G2036 , A certain G5100 man G444 went down G2597 from G575 Jerusalem G2419 to G1519 Jericho G2410 , and G2532 fell among G4045 thieves G3027 , which G3739 G2532 stripped G1562 him G846 of his raiment, and G2532 wounded G2007 G4127 him, and departed G565 , leaving G863 him G5177 half dead G2253 .
|
|
31. It happened that a Jewish priest was going down that road. When he saw the man, he walked by on the other side.
|
31. And G1161 by G2596 chance G4795 there came down G2597 a certain G5100 priest G2409 G1722 that G1565 way G3598 : and G2532 when he saw G1492 him G846 , he passed by on the other side G492 .
|
|
32. Next, a Leviten came there, and after he went over and looked at the man, he walked by on the other side of the road.
|
32. And G1161 likewise G3668 a G2532 Levite G3019 , when he was G1096 at G2596 the G3588 place G5117 , came G2064 and G2532 looked G1492 on him, and passed by on the other side G492 .
|
|
33. Then a Samaritann traveling down the road came to where the hurt man was. When he saw the man, he felt very sorry for him.
|
33. But G1161 a certain G5100 Samaritan G4541 , as he journeyed G3593 , came G2064 where he was G2596 G846 : and G2532 when he saw G1492 him G846 , he had compassion G4697 on him,
|
|
34. The Samaritan went to him, poured olive oil and winen on his wounds, and bandaged them. Then he put the hurt man on his own donkey and took him to an inn where he cared for him.
|
34. And G2532 went G4334 to him, and bound up G2611 his G846 wounds G5134 , pouring in G2022 oil G1637 and G2532 wine G3631 , and G1161 set G1913 him G846 on G1909 his own G2398 beast G2934 , and brought G71 him G846 to G1519 an inn G3829 , and G2532 took care G1959 of him G846 .
|
|
35. The next day, the Samaritan brought out two coins, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, 'Take care of this man. If you spend more money on him, I will pay it back to you when I come again.'"
|
35. And G2532 on G1909 the G3588 morrow G839 when he departed G1831 , he took out G1544 two G1417 pence G1220 , and gave G1325 them to the G3588 host G3830 , and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Take care G1959 of him G846 ; and G2532 whatsoever G3748 G302 thou spendest more G4325 , when I G3165 come again G1880 , I G1473 will repay G591 thee G4671 .
|
|
36. Then Jesus said, "Which one of these three men do you think was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by the robbers?"
|
36. Which G5101 now G3767 of these G5130 three G5140 , thinkest G1380 thou G4671 , was G1096 neighbor G4139 unto him that fell G1706 among G1519 the G3588 thieves G3027 ?
|
|
37. The expert on the law answered, "The one who showed him mercy." Jesus said to him, "Then go and do what he did."
|
37. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 , He that showed G4160 mercy G1656 on G3326 him G846 . Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto him G846 , Go G4198 , and G2532 do G4160 thou G4771 likewise G3668 .
|
|
38. While Jesus and his followers were traveling, Jesus went into a town. A woman named Martha let Jesus stay at her house.
|
38. Now G1161 it came to pass G1096 , as they G846 went G4198 , that G2532 he G846 entered G1525 into G1519 a certain G5100 village G2968 : and G1161 a certain G5100 woman G1135 named G3686 Martha G3136 received G5264 him G846 into G1519 her G848 house G3624 .
|
|
39. Martha had a sister named Mary, who was sitting at Jesus' feet and listening to him teach.
|
39. And G2532 she G3592 had G2258 a sister G79 called G2564 Mary G3137 , which G3739 also G2532 sat G3869 at G3844 Jesus G2424 ' feet G4228 , and heard G191 his G846 word G3056 .
|
|
40. But Martha was busy with all the work to be done. She went in and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me alone to do all the work? Tell her to help me."
|
40. But G1161 Martha G3136 was encumbered G4049 about G4012 much G4183 serving G1248 , and G1161 came G2186 to him , and said G2036 , Lord G2962 , dost thou not care G3199 G3756 G4671 that G3754 my G3450 sister G79 hath left G2641 me G3165 to serve G1247 alone G3440 ? bid G2036 her G846 therefore G3767 that G2443 she help G4878 me G3427 .
|
|
41. But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things.
|
41. And G1161 Jesus G2424 answered G611 and said G2036 unto her G846 , Martha G3136 , Martha G3136 , thou art careful G3309 and G2532 troubled G5182 about G4012 many things G4183 :
|
|
42. Only one thing is important. Mary has chosen the better thing, and it will never be taken away from her."
|
42. But G1161 one thing G1520 is G2076 needful G5532 : and G1161 Mary G3137 hath chosen G1586 that good G18 part G3310 , which G3748 shall not G3756 be taken away G851 from G575 her G846 .
