Mission des 70 disciples

10 Après cela, le Seigneur désigna encore 70 autres disciples et les envoya devant lui deux par deux dans toutes les villes et dans tous les endroits où lui-même devait aller. Il leur dit: «La moisson est grande, mais il y a peu d'ouvriers. Priez donc le maître de la moisson d'envoyer des ouvriers dans sa moisson. Allez-y! Je vous envoie comme des agneaux au milieu des loups. Ne prenez ni bourse, ni sac, ni sandales et ne saluez personne en chemin. Dans toute maison où vous entrerez, dites d'abord: ‘Que la paix soit sur cette maison!’ Et s'il se trouve là un homme de paix, votre paix reposera sur lui; sinon, elle reviendra sur vous. Restez dans cette maison, mangez et buvez ce qu'on vous donnera, car *l'ouvrier mérite son salaire[a]. N'allez pas de maison en maison. Dans toute ville où vous entrerez et où l'on vous accueillera, mangez ce que l'on vous offrira, guérissez les malades qui s'y trouveront et dites-leur: ‘Le royaume de Dieu s'est approché de vous.’ 10 Mais dans toute ville où vous entrerez et où l'on ne vous accueillera pas, allez dans les rues et dites: 11 ‘Nous secouons contre vous même la poussière de votre ville qui s'est attachée à nos pieds. Sachez cependant que le royaume de Dieu s'est approché [de vous].’ 12 Je vous dis que, ce jour-là, Sodome[b] sera traitée moins sévèrement que cette ville-là.

13 »Malheur à toi, Chorazin, malheur à toi, Bethsaïda, car si les miracles accomplis au milieu de vous l'avaient été dans Tyr et dans Sidon, il y a longtemps que leurs habitants se seraient repentis[c], habillés d’un sac et assis dans la cendre[d]. 14 C'est pourquoi, lors du jugement Tyr et Sidon seront traitées moins sévèrement que vous. 15 Et toi, Capernaüm[e], qui as été élevée jusqu'au ciel, tu seras abaissée jusqu'au séjour des morts. 16 Celui qui vous écoute m'écoute, celui qui vous rejette me rejette, et celui qui me rejette rejette celui qui m'a envoyé.»

17 Les 70 revinrent tout joyeux et dirent: «Seigneur, même les démons nous sont soumis en ton nom.» 18 Jésus leur dit: «Je regardais Satan tomber du ciel comme un éclair. 19 Voici, je vous ai donné le pouvoir de marcher sur les serpents et les scorpions et sur toute la puissance de l'ennemi, et rien ne pourra vous nuire. 20 Cependant, ne vous réjouissez pas de ce que les esprits vous sont soumis, mais réjouissez-vous de ce que vos noms sont inscrits dans le ciel.»

21 A ce moment même, Jésus fut rempli de joie par le Saint-Esprit et il dit: «Je te suis reconnaissant, Père, Seigneur du ciel et de la terre, de ce que tu as caché ces choses aux sages et aux intelligents et les as révélées aux enfants. Oui, Père, je te suis reconnaissant car c’est ce que tu as voulu. 22 Mon Père m’a tout donné et personne ne sait qui est le Fils, si ce n'est le Père, ni qui est le Père, si ce n'est le Fils et celui à qui le Fils veut le révéler.» 23 Puis il se tourna vers les disciples et leur dit en privé: «Heureux les yeux qui voient ce que vous voyez! 24 En effet, je vous le dis, beaucoup de prophètes et de rois ont désiré voir ce que vous voyez et ne l'ont pas vu, entendre ce que vous entendez et ne l'ont pas entendu.»

Parabole du bon Samaritain

25 Un professeur de la loi se leva et dit à Jésus pour le mettre à l'épreuve: «Maître, que dois-je faire pour hériter de la vie éternelle?» 26 Jésus lui dit: «Qu'est-il écrit dans la loi? Qu'y lis-tu?» 27 Il répondit: «Tu aimeras le Seigneur, ton Dieu, de tout ton cœur, de toute ton âme, de toute ta force et de toute ta pensée, et ton prochain comme toi-même[f] 28 «Tu as bien répondu, lui dit Jésus. Fais cela et tu vivras.» 29 Mais lui, voulant se justifier, dit à Jésus: «Et qui est mon prochain?» 30 Jésus reprit la parole et dit: «Un homme descendait de Jérusalem à Jéricho. Il tomba entre les mains de brigands qui le dépouillèrent, le rouèrent de coups et s'en allèrent en le laissant à moitié mort. 31 Un prêtre qui, par hasard, descendait par le même chemin vit cet homme et passa à distance. 32 De même aussi un Lévite arriva à cet endroit; il le vit et passa à distance. 33 Mais un Samaritain qui voyageait arriva près de lui et fut rempli de compassion lorsqu'il le vit. 34 Il s'approcha et banda ses plaies en y versant de l'huile et du vin; puis il le mit sur sa propre monture, le conduisit dans une auberge et prit soin de lui. 35 Le lendemain, [à son départ,] il sortit deux pièces d’argent, les donna à l'aubergiste et dit: ‘Prends soin de lui, et ce que tu dépenseras en plus, je te le rendrai à mon retour.’ 36 Lequel de ces trois te semble avoir été le prochain de celui qui était tombé au milieu des brigands?» 37 «C'est celui qui a agi avec bonté envers lui», répondit le professeur de la loi. Jésus lui dit [donc]: «Va agir de la même manière, toi aussi.»

Marthe et Marie

38 Comme Jésus était en chemin avec ses disciples, il entra dans un village, et une femme du nom de Marthe l’accueillit dans sa maison. 39 Elle avait une sœur appelée Marie, qui s'assit aux pieds de Jésus et écoutait ce qu’il disait. 40 Marthe était affairée aux nombreuses tâches du service. Elle survint et dit: «Seigneur, cela ne te fait-il rien que ma sœur me laisse seule pour servir? Dis-lui donc de venir m'aider.» 41 Jésus lui répondit: «Marthe, Marthe, tu t'inquiètes et tu t'agites pour beaucoup de choses, 42 mais une seule est nécessaire. Marie a choisi la bonne part, elle ne lui sera pas enlevée.»

The Seventy-two Sent Out

10 Now after this (A)the Lord appointed [a]seventy-two (B)others, and sent them (C)in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. And He was saying to them, (D)The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Go; (E)behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves. (F)Carry no money belt, no [b]bag, no sandals, and greet no one along the way. And whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ And if a [c]man of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in [d]that house, eating and drinking [e]what they provide; for (G)the laborer is deserving of his wages. Do not move from house to house. Whatever city you enter and they receive you, (H)eat what is served to you; and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘(I)The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11 (J)Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet [f]be sure of this, that (K)the kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I say to you, (L)it will be more tolerable on that day for (M)Sodom than for that city.

13 (N)Woe to you, (O)Chorazin! Woe to you, (P)Bethsaida! For if the [g]miracles that occurred in you had occurred in (Q)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in [h](R)sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more tolerable for (S)Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. 15 And you, (T)Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!

16 (U)The one who listens to you listens to Me, and (V)the one who rejects you rejects Me; but the one who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

The Joyful Results

17 Now the [i]seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even (W)the demons are subject to us [j]in Your name!” 18 And He said to them, “I watched (X)Satan fall from heaven like lightning. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to (Y)walk on snakes and scorpions, and authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. 20 Nevertheless, do not [k]rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that (Z)your names are recorded in heaven.”

21 (AA)At that very [l]time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I [m]praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for doing so was well pleasing in Your sight. 22 (AB)All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and (AC)no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son determines to reveal Him.”

23 (AD)Turning to the disciples, He said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see; 24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.”

25 (AE)And behold, a [n](AF)lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? [o]How does it read to you?” 27 And he answered, “(AG)You shall love the Lord your God [p]with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; (AH)do this and you will live.” 29 But wanting (AI)to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

The Good Samaritan

30 Jesus replied and said, “A man was (AJ)going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he encountered robbers, and they stripped him and [q]beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. 31 And by coincidence a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a (AK)Samaritan who was on a journey came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, 34 and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 On the next day he took out two [r]denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return, I will repay you.’ 36 Which of these three do you think [s]proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” 37 And he said, “The one who showed compassion to him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do [t]the same.”

Martha and Mary

38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named (AL)Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39 And she had a sister called (AM)Mary, who was also (AN)seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. 40 But (AO)Martha was distracted with [u]all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving [v]by myself? Then tell her to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered and said to her, (AP)Martha, Martha, you are (AQ)worried and distracted by many things; 42 (AR)but only one thing is necessary; for (AS)Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two(A)(B)(C)

10 After this the Lord(D) appointed seventy-two[a] others(E) and sent them two by two(F) ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.(G) 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 field.(H) Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.(I) Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages.(J) Do not move around from house to house.

“When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.(K) Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God(L) has come near to you.’ 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you.(M) Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’(N) 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom(O) than for that town.(P)

13 “Woe to you,(Q) 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(R) and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum,(S) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[b]

16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”(T)

17 The seventy-two(U) returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”(V)

18 He replied, “I saw Satan(W) fall like lightning from heaven.(X) 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes(Y) and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”(Z)

21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “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.(AA) Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father.(AB) 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.”(AC)

23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”(AD)

The Parable of the Good Samaritan(AE)

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(AF)

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27 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’[c];(AG) and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d](AH)

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”(AI)

29 But he wanted to justify himself,(AJ) so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.(AK) 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan,(AL) as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

At the Home of Martha and Mary

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha(AM) opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary,(AN) who sat at the Lord’s feet(AO) listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care(AP) that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried(AQ) and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[f](AR) Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
