1Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.
1And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about 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.
2then said he unto them, `The harvest indeed <FI>is<Fi> abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.
3Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
3`Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;
4Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.
4carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;
5And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.
5and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace 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 indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.
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.
7`And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy <FI>is<Fi> the workman of his hire; go 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 whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things 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 ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.
10But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,
10`And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, 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.
11And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;
12I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town.
12and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable 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.
13`Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;
14But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.
14but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.
15And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell.
15`And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.
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.
16`He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who 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 turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;'
18And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star.
18and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;
19See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.
19lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;
20Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.
20but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'
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 hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.
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.
22`All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal <FI>Him<Fi> .'
23And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:
23And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;
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 to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.'
25And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?
25And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'
26And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?
26And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?'
27And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.
27And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'
28And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.
28And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'
29But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
29And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, `And who is my neighbour?'
30And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.
30and Jesus having taken up <FI>the word<Fi> , said, `A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving <FI>him<Fi> half dead.
31And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.
31`And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;
32And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.
32and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.
33But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,
33`But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,
34And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.
34and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;
35And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.
35and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.

37And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.
37and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'
38Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.
38And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,
39And she had a sister, by name Mary, who took her seat at the Lord's feet and gave attention to his words.
39and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,
40But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.
40and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.'
