King James VersionLuke10

Luke

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.
