差派七十人

10 這些事以後,主另外指定了七十[a]個人,差派他們兩個兩個地在他前頭,到他要去的各城各地去。 耶穌對他們說:「收割的工作[b]多,而工人少。所以你們要祈求收割[c]的主催促工人參與他的收割工作[d] 你們去吧!看哪,我差派你們出去,就像把羊羔送進狼群中。 你們不要帶錢包,不要帶行囊,不要帶鞋子,在路上也不要問候任何人。 你們無論進哪一家,首先要說『願這一家平安。』 如果那裡有平安之子,你們的平安就會臨到他;否則,那平安就歸回你們。 你們當住在那一家,吃喝他們所供給的,因為工人配得自己的酬報。不要從這家搬到那家。 無論進哪一個城,如果人們接受你們,給你們擺上什麼,你們就吃什麼。 你們要使那城裡的病人痊癒,並且要對他們說『神的國臨近你們了。』 10 無論進哪一個城,如果人們不接受你們,你們就到大街[e]上去,說 11 『連那沾在我們腳上[f]的你們城裡的塵土,我們也要當著你們擦掉,不過你們應當知道:神的國近了[g]。』 12 我告訴你們:在那日,所多瑪所受的,將要比那城還容易受呢!

不悔改的城

13 哥拉汛哪,你有禍了!伯賽達呀,你有禍了!因為在你們當中行過的神蹟,如果行在提爾西頓,那裡的人早就會披麻蒙灰,坐在地上悔改了。 14 不過在審判的時候,提爾西頓所受的,將要比你們還容易受呢! 15 而你——迦百農啊,你將被高舉到天上嗎?不,你將下到陰間。

16 「聽從你們的,就是聽從我;拒絕你們的,就是拒絕我;拒絕我的,就是拒絕差派我來的那一位。」

七十人歸來

17 那七十[h]個人懷著喜樂的心回來,說:「主啊,奉你的名,連鬼魔也服從了我們。」

18 耶穌對他們說:「我看見撒旦像閃電一樣從天上墜落。 19 看,我已經給了你們權柄去踐踏蛇和蠍子,又勝過仇敵一切的勢力,絕不會有什麼能傷害你們了。 20 但不要因為邪靈服從了你們就歡喜,要因為你們的名字已經被記錄在天上而歡喜。」

父的美意

21 那時候,耶穌[i]受了聖靈的感動就快樂,說:「父啊,天地的主,我讚美[j]你,因為你把這些事向有智慧的和有學問的人隱藏起來,而向小孩子們顯明出來。是的,父啊!因為這正是你的美意。」 22 「我父把一切都交給了我。除了父,沒有人知道子是誰;除了子和子所願意啟示的人,也沒有人知道父是誰。」

23 耶穌轉過身來,悄悄地對門徒們說:「看見你們所看見的,那眼睛是蒙福的! 24 我告訴你們:曾經有許多先知和君王想要看你們所看見的,卻沒有看到;想要聽你們所聽見的,卻沒有聽到。」

好撒馬利亞人

25 這時候,忽然有一個律法師站起來試探耶穌,說:「老師,我該做什麼才會繼承永恆的生命呢?」

26 耶穌對他說:「律法上是怎麼寫的?你是怎麼讀的呢?」

27 他回答說:

「你要以全心、全靈、全力、全意愛主——你的神,並且要愛鄰如己。」[k]

28 耶穌說:「你回答得對。你這樣去做,就將活著。」

29 那個人卻要顯示自己為義,就對耶穌說:「那麼,誰是我的鄰人呢?」

30 耶穌回答說:「有一個人從耶路撒冷下到耶利哥去,途中[l]遇到強盜。他們剝去他的衣服,把他打得半死,丟下他走了。 31 恰好有一個祭司從那條路下來,看見他,就從另一邊走了過去。 32 有一個利未人也正好來到那地方,看見他,也同樣地從另一邊走了過去。 33 可是,有一個撒馬利亞人行路來到他那裡,看見他,就動了憐憫之心, 34 上前來,在他的傷處倒上油和酒,包紮好,然後把他扶上自己的牲口,帶到旅店裡照顧他。 35 第二天[m],他拿出兩個銀幣[n]交給店家,說『請你照顧他,一切額外的費用,我回來的時候將還給你。』

36 「你認為,這三個人中,哪一個是落在強盜手中那人的鄰人呢?」

37 律法師說:「是那個憐憫他的人。」

耶穌對他說:「你去如此做吧。」

瑪妲與瑪麗亞

38 他們繼續前行,耶穌進了一個村子,有一個名叫瑪妲的女人接待他[o] 39 瑪妲有個妹妹[p],稱為瑪麗亞,坐在主[q]的腳前聽他的話語。 40 瑪妲為了很多伺候的事就心裡煩亂,上前來說:「主啊,我妹妹丟下我一個人伺候,你不管嗎?請叫她來幫我的忙吧。」

41 [r]回答她,說:瑪妲瑪妲,你為很多事憂慮、煩惱, 42 但是有一件事是需要的,而瑪麗亞選擇了那美好的一份,是不能從她那裡被拿去的。」

差遣七十二人

10 这些事以后,主又另外指派了七十二个人(“七十二个人”有些抄本作“七十个人”),差遣他们两个两个地,在他前面,到他自己将要到的各城各地去。 耶稣对他们说:“庄稼多,工人少,所以你们应当求庄稼的主,派工人出去收他的庄稼。 你们去吧!我差你们去,如同羊羔进入狼群。 不要带钱囊,不要带口袋,不要带鞋,不要在路上问候人。 无论进哪一家,先说:‘愿平安归与这家!’ 那里若有配得平安的人(“配得平安的人”原文作“平安之子”),你们的平安就必临到他,不然,就归给你们。 你们要住在那家,吃喝他们所供给的,因为作工的理当得工资;不必从这家搬到那家。 无论进哪一城,人若接待你们,摆上甚么,就吃甚么。 要医治城中的病人,对他们宣讲:‘ 神的国临近你们了。’ 10 无论进哪一城,人若不接待你们,你们就出来到街上,说: 11 ‘连你们城里那黏在我们脚上的尘土,我们也要当着你们擦去。虽然这样,你们应该知道: 神的国临近了!’ 12 我告诉你们,当那日,所多玛所受的,比那城所受的还轻呢。

责备不肯悔改的城(A)

13 “哥拉逊啊,你有祸了!伯赛大啊,你有祸了!因为在你们那里行过的神迹,如果行在推罗和西顿,他们早已披麻蒙灰,坐在地上悔改了。 14 在审判的时候,推罗和西顿所受的,比你们所受的还轻呢。 15 还有你,迦百农啊!

你会被高举到天上吗?

你必降到阴间。

16 听从你们的,就是听从我;弃绝你们的,就是弃绝我;弃绝我的,就是弃绝那差我来的。”

七十二人回来

17 那七十二个人欢欢喜喜地回来,说:“主啊,因你的名,连鬼也服了我们。” 18 耶稣说:“我看见撒但,像闪电一样从天坠落。 19 我已经给你们权柄,去践踏蛇和蝎子,胜过仇敌的一切能力。绝对没有甚么能伤害你们了。 20 然而不要因为鬼服了你们就欢喜,却要因为你们的名字记录在天上而欢喜。”

耶稣欢乐赞美天父(B)

21 就在这时候,耶稣因圣灵而欢乐,说:“父啊,天地的主,我赞美你,因为你把这些事向智慧和聪明的人隐藏起来,却向婴孩显明。父啊,是的,这就是你的美意。 22 我父已经把一切交给我;除了父没有人知道子是谁,除了子和子所愿意启示的人,也没有人知道父是谁。” 23 耶稣转过身来,悄悄地对门徒说:“看见你们所看见的,那眼睛有福了! 24 我告诉你们,曾经有许多先知和君王,想看你们所看见的,却没有看到;想听你们所听见的,却没有听到。”

好撒玛利亚人的比喻(C)

25 有一个律法师起来试探耶稣,说:“老师,我应该作甚么,才可以承受永生呢?” 26 耶稣对他说:“律法上写的是甚么?你怎么念的呢?” 27 他回答:“你要全心、全性、全力、全意爱主你的 神,并且要爱邻舍如同自己。” 28 耶稣说:“你答得对,你这样行,就必得生命。” 29 那人想证明自己有理,就对耶稣说:“谁是我的邻舍呢?” 30 耶稣回答:“有一个人从耶路撒冷下耶利哥去,落在强盗手中。他们剥去他的衣服,把他打得半死,撇下他一个人就走了。 31 正好有一个祭司,从那条路下来,看见他,就从旁边走过去了。 32 又有一个利未人,来到那里,看见他,也照样从旁边走过去了。 33 只有一个撒玛利亚人,旅行来到他那里,看见了,就动了怜悯的心, 34 上前用油和酒倒在他的伤处,包裹好了,把他扶上自己的牲口,带他到客店里照顾他。 35 第二天,他拿出两个银币交给店主,说:‘请你照顾他,额外的开支,我回来的时候必还给你。’ 36 你想,这三个人,谁是那个落在强盗手中的人的邻舍呢?” 37 他说:“是那怜悯他的。”耶稣说:“你去,照样作吧。”

马大和马利亚

38 他们走路的时候,耶稣进了一个村庄。有一个名叫马大的女人,接他到家里。 39 她有一个妹妹,名叫马利亚,坐在主的脚前听道。 40 马大被许多要作的事,弄得心烦意乱,就上前来,说:“主啊,我妹妹让我一个人侍候,你不理吗?请吩咐她来帮助我。” 41 主回答她:“马大,马大,你为许多事操心忙碌, 42 但是最需要的只有一件,马利亚已经选择了那上好的分,是不能从她夺去的。”

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two

10 After this the Lord appointed (A)seventy-two[a] others and (B)sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. (C)And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. (D)Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Go your way; (E)behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. (F)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and (G)greet no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first say, (H)‘Peace be to this house!’ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, (I)it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for (J)the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. Heal the sick in it and say to them, (K)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 (L)‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that (M)the kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, (N)it will be more bearable on (O)that day for Sodom than for that town.

Woe to Unrepentant Cities

13 (P)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in (Q)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 (R)But it will be more bearable in the judgment for (S)Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, (T)will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to (U)Hades.

16 (V)“The one who hears you hears me, and (W)the one who rejects you rejects me, and (X)the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

The Return of the Seventy-Two

17 (Y)The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, (Z)even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18 And he said to them, (AA)“I saw Satan (AB)fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority (AC)to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of (AD)the enemy, and (AE)nothing shall hurt you. 20 (AF)Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that (AG)your names are written in heaven.”

Jesus Rejoices in the Father's Will

21 (AH)In that same hour (AI)he rejoiced (AJ)in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, (AK)Lord of heaven and earth, that (AL)you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and (AM)revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for (AN)such was your gracious will.[b] 22 (AO)All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is (AP)except the Father, or who the Father is (AQ)except the Son and anyone (AR)to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

23 Then turning to the disciples he said privately, (AS)“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 24 For I tell you (AT)that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 (AU)And behold, a (AV)lawyer stood up to (AW)put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to (AX)inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, (AY)“You shall 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 (AZ)your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; (BA)do this, and you will live.”

29 But he, (BB)desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man (BC)was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a (BD)priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise (BE)a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a (BF)Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and (BG)bound up his wounds, pouring on (BH)oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two (BI)denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”

Martha and Mary

38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus[d] entered a village. And a woman named (BJ)Martha (BK)welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called (BL)Mary, who (BM)sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are (BN)anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary.[e] Mary has chosen (BO)the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

10 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.

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.

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
