1Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come.

1And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.

2And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.

2And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

2And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest.

3Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.

3Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

3Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.

4Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.

4Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes; and salute no man on the way.

4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

5And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.

5And into whatsoever house ye shall enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

5Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.

6And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.

6And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again.

6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you.

7And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.

7And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

7And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.

8And into whatever town you go, if they take you in, take whatever food is given to you:

8And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

8And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

9And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.

9and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

9And heal the sick that are therein and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

10But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,

10But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say,

10But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say:

11Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

11Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we wipe off against you: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.

11Even the very dust of your city that cleaveth to us, we wipe off against you. Yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.

12I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town.

12I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

12I say to you, it shall be more tolerable at that day for Sodom than for that city.

13A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.

13Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

13Woe to thee, Corozain! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the mighty works that have been wrought in you, they would have done penance long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.

14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.

14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

15And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell.

15And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades.

15And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven, thou shalt be thrust down to hell.

16Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me.

16He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.

16He that heareth you heareth me: and he that despiseth you despiseth me: and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

17And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.

17And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name.

19Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.

19Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you.

20Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.

20Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

20But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you: but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.

21In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.

21In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.

21In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight.

22All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

22All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.

22All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father: and who the Father is, but the Son and to whom the Son will reveal him.

23And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:

24For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

24for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

24For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.

42but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

42But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
