* Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also , and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come . * And he said to them , The harvest indeed [is ] great , but the workmen few ; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest . * Go : behold I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves . * Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals , and salute no one on the way . * And into whatsoever house ye enter , first say , Peace to this house . * And if a son of peace be there , your peace shall rest upon it ; but if not it shall turn to you again . * And in the same house abide , eating and drinking such things as they have ; for the workman is worthy of his hire . Remove not from house to house . * And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you , eat what is set before you , * and heal the sick in it , and say to them , The kingdom of God is come nigh to you . * But into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you , go out into its streets and say , * Even the dust of your city , which cleaves to us on the feet , do we shake off against you ; but know this , that the kingdom of God is come nigh . * I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city . * Woe to thee , Chorazin ! woe to thee , Bethsaida ! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon , they had long ago repented , sitting in sackcloth and ashes . * But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you . * And thou , Capernaum , who hast been raised up to heaven , shalt be brought down even to hades . * He that hears you hears me ; and he that rejects you rejects me ; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me . * And the seventy returned with joy , saying , Lord , even the demons are subject to us through thy name . * And he said to them , I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven . * Behold , I give you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy , and nothing shall in anywise injure you . * Yet in this rejoice not , that the spirits are subjected to you , but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens . * In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said , I praise thee , Father , Lord of the heaven and of the earth , that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent , and hast revealed them to babes : yea , Father , for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight . * All things have been delivered to me by my Father , and no one knows who the Son is but the Father , and who the Father is but the Son , and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal [him ]. * And having turned to the disciples privately he said , Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see . * For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold , and did not see [them ]; and to hear the things which ye hear , and did not hear [them ]. * And behold , a certain lawyer stood up tempting him , and saying , Teacher , having done what , shall I inherit life eternal ? * And he said to him , What is written in the law ? how readest thou ? * But 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 thine understanding ; and thy neighbour as thyself . * And he said to him , Thou hast answered right : this do and thou shalt live . * But he , desirous of justifying himself , said to Jesus , And who is my neighbour ? * And Jesus replying said , A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into [the hands of ] robbers , who also , having stripped him and inflicted wounds , went away leaving him in a half-dead state . * And a certain priest happened to go down that way , and seeing him , passed on on the opposite side ; * and in like manner also a Levite , being at the spot , came and looked [at him ] and passed on on the opposite side . * But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him , and seeing [him ], was moved with compassion , * and came up [to him ] and bound up his wounds , pouring in oil and wine ; and having put him on his own beast , took him to [the ] inn and took care of him . * And on the morrow [as he left ], taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper , and said to him , Take care of him , and whatsoever thou shalt expend more , I will render to thee on my coming back . * Which [now ] of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into [the hands of ] the robbers ? * And he said , He that shewed him mercy . And Jesus said to him , Go , and do thou likewise . * And it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain village ; and a certain woman , Martha by name , received him into her house . * And she had a sister called Mary , who also , having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word . * Now Martha was distracted with much serving , and coming up she said , Lord , dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone ? Speak to her therefore that she may help me . * But Jesus answering said to her , Martha , Martha , thou art careful and troubled about many things ; * but there is need of one , and Mary has chosen the good part , the which shall not be taken from her .
