Luke 10-11 (21st Century King James Version)

Luke 10

 ¹After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two ahead of Him into every city and place whither He Himself would come.

   
 ²Therefore He said unto them, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest.

   
 ³Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves,

   
 ⁴carrying neither purse, nor pack, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.

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

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

   
 ⁷And in the 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.

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

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

   
 ¹⁰But 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.'

   
 ¹²But 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 would have a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

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

   
 ¹⁵And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell.

   
 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 returned again with joy, saying, "Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name."

   
 ¹⁸And He said unto them, "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

   
 ¹⁹Behold, 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.

   
 ²⁰Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice because your names are written in Heaven."

   
 ²¹In 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.

   
 ²²All things are delivered to Me by 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."

   
 ²³And He turned unto His disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.

   
 ²⁴For 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."

   
 ²⁵And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

   
 ²⁶He said unto him, "What is written in the law? How readest thou?"

   
 ²⁷And 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 neighbor as thyself.'"

   
 ²⁸And He said unto him, "Thou hast answered right; this do, and thou shalt live."

   
 ²⁹But he, wanting to justify himself, said unto Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

   
 ³⁰And Jesus answering said, "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his raiment and wounded him and departed, leaving him half dead.

   
 ³¹And by chance there came down a certain priest that way. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

   
 ³²And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him and passed by on the other side.

   
 ³³But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was. And when he saw him he had compassion on him,

   
 ³⁴and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

   
 ³⁵And 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.'

   
 ³⁶Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves?"

   
 ³⁷And he said, "He that showed mercy on him." Then said Jesus unto him, "Go and do thou likewise."

   
 ³⁸Now 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.

   
 ³⁹And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His Word.

   
 ⁴⁰But Martha was encumbered with 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."

   
 ⁴¹And Jesus answered and said unto her, "Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things.

   
 ⁴²But one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

   

Luke 11

 ¹And it came to pass that as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, "Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples."

   
 ²And He said unto them, "When ye pray, say: Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in Heaven, so on earth.

   
 ³Give us day by day our daily bread.

   
 ⁴And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."

   
 ⁵And He said unto them, "Which of you shall have a friend and shall go unto him at midnight and say unto him, `Friend, lend me three loaves,

   
 ⁶for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him';

   
 ⁷and he from within shall answer and say, `Trouble me not; the door is now shut and my children are with me in bed, and I cannot rise and give to thee'?

   
 ⁸I say unto you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

   
 ⁹And I say unto you: ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

   
 ¹⁰For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

   
 ¹¹"If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

   
 ¹²Or if he shall ask for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

   
 ¹³If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask Him?"

   
 ¹⁴And He was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass when the devil had gone out, the dumb one spoke; and the people wondered.

   
 ¹⁵But some of them said, "He casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils."

   
 ¹⁶And others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from Heaven.

   
 ¹⁷But He, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

   
 ¹⁸If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand -- because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub?

   
 ¹⁹And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore shall they be your judges.

   
 ²⁰But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, doubt not the Kingdom of God is come upon you.

   
 ²¹When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace.

   
 ²²But when one stronger than he shall come upon him and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

   
 ²³He that is not with Me, is against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me, scattereth.

   
 ²⁴"When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, `I will return unto my house whence I came out.'

   
 ²⁵And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

   
 ²⁶Then he goeth and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first."

   
 ²⁷And it came to pass, as He spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice and said unto Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore Thee and the breasts which Thou hast sucked."

   
 ²⁸But He said, "Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it."

   
 ²⁹And when the people were gathered thick together, He began to say, "This is an evil generation. They seek a sign, and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

   
 ³⁰For as Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of Man be to this generation.

   
 ³¹The queen of the south shall rise up in the Judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

   
 ³²The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the Judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

   
 ³³"No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they that come in may see the light.

   
 ³⁴The light of the body is the eye. Therefore, when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light. But when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

   
 ³⁵Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

   
 ³⁶If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light."

   
 ³⁷And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee besought Him to dine with him. And He went in and sat down to meat.

   
 ³⁸And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

   
 ³⁹And the Lord said unto him, "Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter, but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

   
 ⁴⁰Ye fools! Did not He that made that which is without, make that which is within also?

   
 ⁴¹But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

   
 ⁴²"But woe unto you, Pharisees! For ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not left the other undone.

   
 ⁴³Woe unto you, Pharisees! For ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues and greetings in the markets.

   
 ⁴⁴Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them."

   
 ⁴⁵Then answered one of the lawyers and said unto Him, "Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also."

   
 ⁴⁶And He said, "Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! For ye laden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

   
 ⁴⁷Woe unto you! For ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

   
 ⁴⁸Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.

   
 ⁴⁹"Therefore also said the wisdom of God: `I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute,'

   
 ⁵⁰that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,

   
 ⁵¹from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple. Verily I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation.

   
 ⁵²Woe unto you, lawyers! For ye have taken away the key of knowledge. Ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in, ye hindered."

   
 ⁵³And as He said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press Him vehemently and to provoke Him to speak of many things,

   
 ⁵⁴lying in wait for Him and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.
