Chapter 10
Jesus Sends the Seventy-Two
1
- After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two… others and sent them vvv two by two… ahead of Him… to every town and place… He was about to visit.
δὲ Μετὰ ταῦτα ὁ Κύριος καὶ ἀνέδειξεν ἑβδομήκοντα δύο ἑτέρους καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἀνὰ δύο δύο πρὸ αὐτοῦ προσώπου εἰς πᾶσαν πόλιν καὶ τόπον οὗ αὐτὸς ἤμελλεν ἔρχεσθαι de Meta tauta ho Kyrios kai anedeixen hebdomēkonta dyo heterous kai apesteilen autous ana dyo dyo pro autou prosōpou eis pasan polin kai topon hou autos ēmellen erchesthai — NA/TR · 1
2
And He told… them, “The harvest [is] plentiful, but the workers [are] few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.
δὲ ἔλεγεν πρὸς αὐτούς μὲν Ὁ θερισμὸς πολύς δὲ οἱ ἐργάται ὀλίγοι δεήθητε τοῦ Κυρίου τοῦ θερισμοῦ οὖν ὅπως ἐκβάλῃ ἐργάτας εἰς αὐτοῦ τὸν θερισμὸν de elegen pros autous men Ho therismos polys de hoi ergatai oligoi deēthēte tou Kyriou tou therismou oun hopōs ekbalē ergatas eis autou ton therismon — NA/TR · 2
3
Go…! I am sending you out… like lambs vvv among wolves.
Ὑπάγετε ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω ὑμᾶς ὡς ἄρνας ἐν μέσῳ λύκων Hypagete idou apostellō hymas hōs arnas en mesō lykōn — NA/TR · 3
4
Carry no purse [or] bag [or] sandals. Do not greet [anyone] along the road.
βαστάζετε μὴ βαλλάντιον μὴ πήραν μὴ ὑποδήματα καὶ ἀσπάσησθε μηδένα κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν bastazete mē ballantion mē pēran mē hypodēmata kai aspasēsthe mēdena kata tēn hodon — NA/TR · 4
5
- Whatever… house you enter…, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.
δ’ ἣν ἂν οἰκίαν εἰσέλθητε Εἰς πρῶτον λέγετε Εἰρήνη τούτῳ τῷ οἴκῳ d’ hēn an oikian eiselthēte Eis prōton legete Eirēnē toutō tō oikō — NA/TR · 5
6
- If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
καὶ ἐὰν υἱὸς εἰρήνης ᾖ ἐκεῖ ὑμῶν ἡ εἰρήνη ἐπαναπαήσεται ἐπ’ αὐτὸν δὲ εἰ μή¦γε ἀνακάμψει ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς kai ean huios eirēnēs ē ekei hymōn hē eirēnē epanapaēsetai ep’ auton de ei mē¦ge anakampsei eph’ hymas — NA/TR · 6
7
- Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are [offered]… For the worker [is] worthy of his wages. {Do} not move around from house to house.
δὲ μένετε ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ οἰκίᾳ ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες τὰ παρ’ αὐτῶν γὰρ ὁ ἐργάτης ἄξιος τοῦ αὐτοῦ μισθοῦ μὴ μεταβαίνετε ἐξ οἰκίας εἰς οἰκίαν de menete en tē autē oikia esthiontes kai pinontes ta par’ autōn gar ho ergatēs axios tou autou misthou mē metabainete ex oikias eis oikian — NA/TR · 7
8
- If you enter… a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.
Καὶ εἰσέρχησθε εἰς ἣν ἂν πόλιν καὶ δέχωνται ὑμᾶς ἐσθίετε τὰ παρατιθέμενα ὑμῖν Kai eiserchēsthe eis hēn an polin kai dechōntai hymas esthiete ta paratithemena hymin — NA/TR · 8
9
- Heal the sick vvv [who are there] and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.
καὶ θεραπεύετε τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ λέγετε αὐτοῖς ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἤγγικεν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς kai therapeuete tous astheneis en autē kai legete autois hē basileia tou Theou Ēngiken eph’ hymas — NA/TR · 9
10
But if you enter… a… town and vvv they do not welcome you, go into the streets [and] declare,
δ’ εἰσέλθητε Εἰς ἣν ἂν πόλιν καὶ μὴ δέχωνται ὑμᾶς ἐξελθόντες εἰς αὐτῆς τὰς πλατείας εἴπατε d’ eiselthēte Eis hēn an polin kai mē dechōntai hymas exelthontes eis autēs tas plateias eipate — NA/TR · 10
11
‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this -: The kingdom of God is near.
Καὶ τὸν κονιορτὸν ἐκ ὑμῶν τῆς πόλεως τὸν κολληθέντα εἰς ἡμῖν τοὺς πόδας ἀπομασσόμεθα ὑμῖν πλὴν γινώσκετε τοῦτο ὅτι ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἤγγικεν Kai ton koniorton ek hymōn tēs poleōs ton kollēthenta eis hēmin tous podas apomassometha hymin plēn ginōskete touto hoti hē basileia tou Theou ēngiken — NA/TR · 11
12
I tell you -, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἔσται ἀνεκτότερον ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ Σοδόμοις ἢ ἐκείνῃ τῇ πόλει legō hymin hoti estai anektoteron en ekeinē tē hēmera Sodomois ē ekeinē tē polei — NA/TR · 12
Woe to the Unrepentant
13
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles [that] were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Οὐαί σοι Χοραζίν οὐαί σοι Βηθσαϊδά ὅτι εἰ αἱ δυνάμεις αἱ γενόμεναι ἐν ὑμῖν ἐγενήθησαν ἐν Τύρῳ καὶ Σιδῶνι μετενόησαν πάλαι ἂν καθήμενοι ἐν σάκκῳ καὶ σποδῷ Ouai soi Chorazin ouai soi Bēthsaida hoti ei hai dynameis hai genomenai en hymin egenēthēsan en Tyrō kai Sidōni metenoēsan palai an kathēmenoi en sakkō kai spodō — NA/TR · 13
14
But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
πλὴν ἔσται ἀνεκτότερον Τύρῳ καὶ Σιδῶνι ἐν τῇ κρίσει ἢ ὑμῖν plēn estai anektoteron Tyrō kai Sidōni en tē krisei ē hymin — NA/TR · 14
15
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades!
καὶ σύ Καφαρναούμ ὑψωθήσῃ ἕως οὐρανοῦ μὴ καταβήσῃ ἕως τοῦ ᾅδου kai sy Kapharnaoum hypsōthēsē heōs ouranou mē katabēsē heōs tou hadou — NA/TR · 15
16
Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the [One who] sent Me.
Ὁ ἀκούων ὑμῶν ἀκούει ἐμοῦ καὶ ὁ ἀθετῶν ὑμᾶς ἀθετεῖ ἐμὲ δὲ ὁ ἀθετῶν ἐμὲ ἀθετεῖ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με Ho akouōn hymōn akouei emou kai ho athetōn hymas athetei eme de ho athetōn eme athetei ton aposteilanta me — NA/TR · 16
The Joyful Return
17
- The seventy-two… returned with joy [and] said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.
δὲ οἱ ἑβδομήκοντα δύο Ὑπέστρεψαν μετὰ χαρᾶς λέγοντες Κύριε καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ὑποτάσσεται ἡμῖν ἐν σου τῷ ὀνόματί de hoi hebdomēkonta dyo Hypestrepsan meta charas legontes Kyrie kai ta daimonia hypotassetai hēmin en sou tō onomati — NA/TR · 17
18
So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
δὲ Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἐθεώρουν τὸν Σατανᾶν πεσόντα ὡς ἀστραπὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ de Eipen autois Etheōroun ton Satanan pesonta hōs astrapēn ek tou ouranou — NA/TR · 18
19
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing… will harm you.
ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ὑμῖν τὴν ἐξουσίαν τοῦ πατεῖν ἐπάνω ὄφεων καὶ σκορπίων καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ἐχθροῦ καὶ οὐδὲν οὐ μὴ ἀδικήσῃ ὑμᾶς idou dedōka hymin tēn exousian tou patein epanō opheōn kai skorpiōn kai epi pasan tēn dynamin tou echthrou kai ouden ou mē adikēsē hymas — NA/TR · 19
20
Nevertheless, {do] not rejoice vvv vvv that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
πλὴν μὴ χαίρετε ἐν τούτῳ ὅτι τὰ πνεύματα ὑποτάσσεται ὑμῖν δὲ χαίρετε ὅτι ὑμῶν τὰ ὀνόματα ἐνγέγραπται ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς plēn mē chairete en toutō hoti ta pneumata hypotassetai hymin de chairete hoti hymōn ta onomata engegraptai en tois ouranois — NA/TR · 20
Jesus’ Prayer of Thanksgiving
21
At that time [Jesus] rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from [the] wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight…
Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἐν τῷ τῷ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι καὶ εἶπεν Ἐξομολογοῦμαί σοι Πάτερ Κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς ὅτι ἀπέκρυψας ταῦτα ἀπὸ σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν καὶ ἀπεκάλυψας αὐτὰ νηπίοις ναί ὁ Πατήρ ὅτι οὕτως ἐγένετο εὐδοκία ἔμπροσθέν σου En autē tē hōra ēgalliasato en tō tō Hagiō Pneumati kai eipen Exomologoumai soi Pater Kyrie tou ouranou kai tēs gēs hoti apekrypsas tauta apo sophōn kai synetōn kai apekalypsas auta nēpiois nai ho Patēr hoti houtōs egeneto eudokia emprosthen sou — NA/TR · 21
22
All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except… the Father, and [no one knows] who the Father is except… the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal [Him].
Πάντα παρεδόθη μοι ὑπὸ μου τοῦ Πατρός καὶ οὐδεὶς γινώσκει τίς ὁ Υἱὸς ἐστιν εἰ μὴ ὁ Πατήρ καὶ τίς ὁ Πατὴρ ἐστιν εἰ μὴ ὁ Υἱὸς καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν ὁ Υἱὸς βούληται ἀποκαλύψαι Panta paredothē moi hypo mou tou Patros kai oudeis ginōskei tis ho Huios estin ei mē ho Patēr kai tis ho Patēr estin ei mē ho Huios kai hō ean ho Huios boulētai apokalypsai — NA/TR · 22
23
Then [Jesus] turned to the disciples [and] said vvv privately, “Blessed [are] the eyes that see what you see.
Καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς εἶπεν κατ’ ἰδίαν Μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ οἱ βλέποντες ἃ βλέπετε Kai strapheis pros tous mathētas eipen kat’ idian Makarioi hoi ophthalmoi hoi blepontes ha blepete — NA/TR · 23
24
For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see [but] vvv did not see [it], and to hear what you hear [but] vvv did not hear [it].
γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ προφῆται καὶ βασιλεῖς ἠθέλησαν ἰδεῖν ἃ ὑμεῖς βλέπετε καὶ οὐκ εἶδαν καὶ ἀκοῦσαι ἃ ἀκούετε καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν gar legō hymin hoti polloi prophētai kai basileis ēthelēsan idein ha hymeis blepete kai ouk eidan kai akousai ha akouete kai ouk ēkousan — NA/TR · 24
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25
One day… an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher, he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?
Καὶ ἰδοὺ τις νομικός ἀνέστη ἐκπειράζων αὐτὸν Διδάσκαλε λέγων τί ποιήσας κληρονομήσω αἰώνιον ζωὴν Kai idou tis nomikos anestē ekpeirazōn auton Didaskale legōn ti poiēsas klēronomēsō aiōnion zōēn — NA/TR · 25
26
“What is written in the Law? - [Jesus] replied -. “How do you read [it]?
τί γέγραπται Ἐν τῷ νόμῳ δὲ Ὁ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν πῶς ἀναγινώσκεις ti gegraptai En tō nomō de Ho eipen pros auton pōs anaginōskeis — NA/TR · 26
27
- vvv He answered, “‘Love [the] Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and ‘[Love] your neighbor as yourself.’
δὲ Ὁ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν Ἀγαπήσεις Κύριον σου τὸν Θεόν ἐξ ὅλης σου τῆς καρδίας καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ σου τῇ ψυχῇ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ σου τῇ ἰσχύϊ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ σου τῇ διανοίᾳ καὶ σου Τὸν πλησίον ὡς σεαυτόν de Ho apokritheis eipen Agapēseis Kyrion sou ton Theon ex holēs sou tēs kardias kai en holē sou tē psychē kai en holē sou tē ischui kai en holē sou tē dianoia kai sou Ton plēsion hōs seauton — NA/TR · 27
28
“You have answered correctly, [Jesus] said… “Do this and you will live.
ἀπεκρίθης Ὀρθῶς δὲ Εἶπεν αὐτῷ ποίει τοῦτο καὶ ζήσῃ apekrithēs Orthōs de Eipen autō poiei touto kai zēsē — NA/TR · 28
29
But wanting to justify himself, he asked - Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?
δὲ Ὁ θέλων δικαιῶσαι ἑαυτὸν εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν Καὶ τίς ἐστίν μου πλησίον de Ho thelōn dikaiōsai heauton eipen pros ton Iēsoun Kai tis estin mou plēsion — NA/TR · 29
30
- Jesus took up [this question] and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. [They] stripped [him], beat… him, [and] went away, leaving [him] half dead.
ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ εἶπεν τις Ἄνθρωπός κατέβαινεν ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς Ἰεριχὼ καὶ περιέπεσεν λῃσταῖς οἳ καὶ ἐκδύσαντες καὶ ἐπιθέντες πληγὰς αὐτὸν ἀπῆλθον ἀφέντες ἡμιθανῆ ho Iēsous Hypolabōn de eipen tis Anthrōpos katebainen apo Ierousalēm eis Ierichō kai periepesen lēstais hoi kai ekdysantes kai epithentes plēgas auton apēlthon aphentes hēmithanē — NA/TR · 30
31
Now by chance a priest was going down… the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
δὲ Κατὰ συγκυρίαν τις ἱερεύς κατέβαινεν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἀντιπαρῆλθεν de Kata synkyrian tis hiereus katebainen en ekeinē tē hodō kai idōn auton antiparēlthen — NA/TR · 31
32
- So too, [when] a Levite vvv came to that spot and saw [him], he passed by on the other side.
δὲ Ὁμοίως Λευίτης καὶ γενόμενος ἐλθὼν κατὰ τὸν τόπον καὶ ἰδὼν ἀντιπαρῆλθεν de Homoiōs Leuitēs kai genomenos elthōn kata ton topon kai idōn antiparēlthen — NA/TR · 32
33
But a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, and when he saw [him], he had compassion.
δέ τις Σαμαρίτης ὁδεύων ἦλθεν κατ’ αὐτὸν καὶ ἰδὼν ἐσπλαγχνίσθη de tis Samaritēs hodeuōn ēlthen kat’ auton kai idōn esplanchnisthē — NA/TR · 33
34
- He went to [him] [and] bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
καὶ προσελθὼν κατέδησεν αὐτοῦ τὰ τραύματα ἐπιχέων ἔλαιον καὶ οἶνον δὲ ἐπιβιβάσας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ἴδιον τὸ κτῆνος ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς πανδοχεῖον καὶ ἐπεμελήθη αὐτοῦ kai proselthōn katedēsen autou ta traumata epicheōn elaion kai oinon de epibibasas auton epi idion to ktēnos ēgagen auton eis pandocheion kai epemelēthē autou — NA/TR · 34
35
- The next day he took out two denarii [and] gave [them] to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him, he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional… expense.
Καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον ἐκβαλὼν δύο δηνάρια ἔδωκεν τῷ πανδοχεῖ Ἐπιμελήθητι αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν καὶ ἐν ἐγὼ τῷ ἐπανέρχεσθαί με ἀποδώσω σοι ὅ τι ἂν προσδαπανήσῃς Kai epi tēn aurion ekbalōn dyo dēnaria edōken tō pandochei Epimelēthēti autou kai eipen kai en egō tō epanerchesthai me apodōsō soi ho ti an prosdapanēsēs — NA/TR · 35
36
Which of these three {do} you think was a neighbor to the [man] who fell into the hands of robbers?
Τίς τούτων τῶν τριῶν σοι δοκεῖ γεγονέναι πλησίον τοῦ ἐμπεσόντος εἰς τοὺς λῃστάς Tis toutōn tōn triōn soi dokei gegonenai plēsion tou empesontos eis tous lēstas — NA/TR · 36
37
“The [one] who showed… him mercy, - replied [the expert in the law]. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.
Ὁ ποιήσας μετ’ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔλεος δὲ Ὁ εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως Ho poiēsas met’ autou to eleos de Ho eipen de ho Iēsous Eipen autō Poreuou kai sy poiei homoiōs — NA/TR · 37
Martha and Mary
38
As… they traveled along, [Jesus] entered… a village [where] a woman named Martha welcomed Him into [her] home.
δὲ Ἐν αὐτοὺς τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τινά κώμην δέ τις γυνὴ ὀνόματι Μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν de En autous tō poreuesthai autos eisēlthen eis tina kōmēn de tis gynē onomati Martha hypedexato auton eis tēn oikian — NA/TR · 38
39
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the vvv Lord’s feet listening to His message.
τῇδε καὶ ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη Μαριάμ ἣ καὶ παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς τοῦ Κυρίου πόδας ἤκουεν αὐτοῦ τὸν λόγον tēde kai ēn adelphē kaloumenē Mariam hē kai parakathestheisa pros tous tou Kyriou podas ēkouen autou ton logon — NA/TR · 39
40
But Martha was distracted by all the… preparations [to be made]. She came to [Jesus] [and] said, “Lord, vvv do You not care… that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!
δὲ ἡ Μάρθα περιεσπᾶτο περὶ πολλὴν διακονίαν δὲ ἐπιστᾶσα εἶπεν Κύριε οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι μου ἡ ἀδελφή κατέλειπεν με διακονεῖν μόνην οὖν εἰπὲ αὐτῇ ἵνα συναντιλάβηται μοι de hē Martha periespato peri pollēn diakonian de epistasa eipen Kyrie ou melei soi hoti mou hē adelphē kateleipen me diakonein monēn oun eipe autē hina synantilabētai moi — NA/TR · 40
41
“Martha, Martha, the Lord replied -, “you are worried and upset about many things.
Μάρθα Μάρθα δὲ ὁ Κύριος Ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτῇ μεριμνᾷς καὶ θορυβάζῃ περὶ πολλά Martha Martha de ho Kyrios Apokritheis eipen autē merimnas kai thorybazē peri polla — NA/TR · 41
42
But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, [and it] vvv will not be taken away from her.
δέ ἢ ἑνός ὀλίγων ἐστιν χρεία γὰρ Μαριὰμ ἐξελέξατο τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἥτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται αὐτῆς de ē henos oligōn estin chreia gar Mariam exelexato tēn agathēn merida hētis ouk aphairethēsetai autēs — NA/TR · 42
