Luke 10

1 He sendeth the seventy before him to preach, and giveth them a charge how to behave them selves 13 He threateneth the obstinate 21 He giveth thanks to his heavenlie Father. 25 He answereth the Scribes that tempted him, 33 And by the example of the Samaritan sheweth who is a man’s neighbour 38 Martha receiveth the Lord into her house. 40 Marie is fervent in hearing his word.
1.After these things, the Lord appointed other seventie also, and sent them, two and two before him into every city and place, whether he him self should come.
2.And he said unto them, *aThe harvest is great, but the blabourers are few: pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers into his harvest.
3.*Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among cwolves.
4.Bear no bag, neither scrip, nor shoes, *and dsalute no man by the way.
5.And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, *ePeace be to this house.
6.And if the fson of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7.And in that house tarry still eating, and drinking such things as by them shalbe set before you: *for the labourer is worthie of his wages. Go not from ghouse to house.
8.But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, if they receive you, heat such things as are set before you,
9.And heal the sick that are there, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come near unto you.
10.But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, if they will not receive you, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11.Even the very *dust, which cleaveth on us of your city, we wipe off against you: notwithstanding know this, that the ikingdom of God was come near unto you.
12.For I say to you, that it shalbe easier in that day for them of Sodom, then for that city.
13.*Wo be to thee, Chorazin: wo be to thee, Beth-saida: for if the miracles had been done in Tyrus and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while agone repented, sitting kin sack cloth and ashes.
14.Therefore it shalbe easier for Tyrus, land Sidon, at the judgement, then 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 seventie turned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subdued to us through thy Name.
18.And he said unto them, I saw mSatan, like lightening, fall down from heaven.
19.Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemie, and nothing shall hurt you.
20.Nevertheless, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subdued unto you: but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21.¶ That same hour rejoiced Jesus in ^the spirit, and said, I confess unto thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the nwise & learned, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father, because it so pleased thee.
22.Then he turned to his disciples, and said, All things are ogiven me of my Father: and pno man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father: neither who the Father is, save the qSon, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23.¶ And he returned to his disciples, and said secretly, *Blessed are the eyes, which see 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.*Then behold, a certain expounder of the Law stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do, to inherit eternal life?
26.And he said unto him, What is written in the Law? how readest thou?
27.And he answered, and said, *Thou shalt love thy Lord God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy thought, *and thy neighbour as thy self.
28.Then he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29.But he willing to ^justify him self, said unto Jesus, Who ris then my neighbour?
30.And Jesus answered, and said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, and they robbed him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31.And by schance there came down a certain tPriest that same way, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32.And likewise also a Levite, when he was come near to the place, went and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33.Then a certain uSamaritan, as he journeyed, came near unto him, and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34.And went to him, and bound up his wounds, and poured in oil and wine, and put him on his own beast, and brought him to an ynne, and made provision for him.
35.And on the morowe when he departed, he took out xtwo 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 recompense 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, yand do thou likewise.
38.¶ Now it came to pass as they went, that he entered into a certain town, and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house.
39.And she had a sister called Marie, which also sate at Jesus’ feet, and heard his preaching.
40.But Martha was combred about much serving, and came to him, and said, Master, doest 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 carest, and art ztroubled about many things.
42.But one thing is needful, Marie hath chosen the good part, awhich shall not be taken away from her.
