Jesús envía a los setenta y dos(A)(B)(C)

10 Después de esto, el Señor escogió a otros setenta y dos[a] para enviarlos de dos en dos delante de él a todo pueblo y lugar adonde él pensaba ir. 2 «La cosecha es abundante, pero son pocos los obreros —les dijo—. Por tanto, pidan al Señor de la cosecha que envíe obreros a su campo. 3 ¡Vayan ustedes! ¡Presten atención! Porque los envío como corderos en medio de lobos. 4 No lleven monedero ni bolsa ni sandalias; tampoco se detengan a saludar a nadie por el camino.

5 »En cualquier casa que entren, digan primero: “Paz a esta casa”. 6 Si hay allí alguien que promueva la paz, la paz de ustedes reinará en ella; y si no, la paz regresará a ustedes.[b] 7 Quédense en esa casa, coman y beban de lo que ellos tengan, porque el trabajador tiene derecho a su salario. No anden de casa en casa.

8 »Cuando entren en un pueblo y los reciban, coman lo que les sirvan. 9 Sanen a los enfermos que encuentren allí y díganles: “El reino de Dios está cerca de ustedes”. 10 Pero cuando entren en un pueblo donde no los reciban bien, salgan a las plazas y digan: 11 “Aun el polvo de este pueblo, que se nos ha pegado a los pies, nos lo sacudimos en protesta contra ustedes. Pero tengan por seguro que está cerca el reino de Dios”. 12 Les digo que en aquel día será más tolerable el castigo para Sodoma que para ese pueblo.

13 »¡Ay de ti, Corazín! ¡Ay de ti, Betsaida! Si se hubieran hecho en Tiro y en Sidón los milagros que se hicieron en medio de ustedes, ya hace tiempo que se habrían arrepentido con muchos lamentos.[c] 14 Pero en el juicio será más tolerable el castigo para Tiro y Sidón que para ustedes. 15 Y tú, Capernaúm, ¿acaso serás levantada hasta el cielo? No, sino que descenderás hasta los dominios de la muerte.[d]

16 »El que los escucha a ustedes, me escucha a mí; el que los rechaza a ustedes, me rechaza a mí y el que me rechaza a mí, rechaza al que me envió».

17 Cuando los setenta y dos regresaron, dijeron contentos:

—Señor, hasta los demonios se nos someten en tu nombre.

18 —Yo veía a Satanás caer del cielo como un rayo —respondió él—. 19 Sí, les he dado autoridad a ustedes para pisotear serpientes y escorpiones y vencer todo el poder del enemigo; nada les podrá hacer daño. 20 Sin embargo, no se alegren de que puedan someter a los espíritus, sino alégrense de que sus nombres están escritos en el cielo.

21 En aquel momento Jesús, lleno de alegría por el Espíritu Santo, dijo: «Te alabo, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque habiendo escondido estas cosas de los sabios e instruidos, se las has revelado a los niños. Sí, Padre, porque esa fue tu buena voluntad.

22 »Mi Padre me ha entregado todas las cosas. Nadie sabe quién es el Hijo, sino el Padre; nadie sabe quién es el Padre, sino el Hijo y aquel a quien el Hijo quiera revelarlo».

23 Volviéndose a sus discípulos, les dijo aparte: «¡Dichosos los ojos que ven lo que ustedes ven! 24 Les digo que muchos profetas y reyes quisieron ver lo que ustedes ven, pero no lo vieron; quisieron oír lo que ustedes oyen, pero no lo oyeron».

Parábola del buen samaritano(D)

25 En esto se presentó un experto en la Ley y, para poner a prueba a Jesús, se puso de pie y le hizo esta pregunta:

—Maestro, ¿qué debo hacer para heredar la vida eterna?

26 Jesús respondió:

—¿Qué está escrito en la Ley? ¿Cómo la interpretas tú?

27 Como respuesta el hombre citó:

—“Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con todo tu ser, con todas tus fuerzas y con toda tu mente”,[e] y “Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”.[f]

28 —Bien contestado —dijo Jesús—. Haz eso y vivirás.

29 Pero él quería justificarse, así que preguntó a Jesús:

—¿Y quién es mi prójimo?

30 Jesús respondió:

—Bajaba un hombre de Jerusalén a Jericó y cayó en manos de unos ladrones. Le quitaron la ropa, lo golpearon y se fueron, dejándolo medio muerto. 31 Resulta que viajaba por el mismo camino un sacerdote quien, al verlo, se desvió y siguió de largo. 32 Así también llegó a aquel lugar un levita y al verlo, se desvió y siguió de largo. 33 Pero un samaritano que iba de viaje llegó adonde estaba el hombre y viéndolo, se compadeció de él. 34 Se acercó, le curó las heridas con vino y aceite, y se las vendó. Luego lo montó sobre su propia cabalgadura, lo llevó a un alojamiento y lo cuidó. 35 Al día siguiente, sacó dos monedas de plata[g] y se las dio al dueño del alojamiento. “Cuídemelo —le dijo—, y lo que gaste usted de más, se lo pagaré cuando yo vuelva”. 36 ¿Cuál de estos tres piensas que demostró ser el prójimo del que cayó en manos de los ladrones?

37 —El que se compadeció de él —contestó el experto en la Ley.

—Anda entonces y haz tú lo mismo —concluyó Jesús.

En casa de Marta y María

38 Mientras iba de camino con sus discípulos, Jesús entró en una aldea y una mujer llamada Marta lo recibió en su casa. 39 Tenía ella una hermana llamada María que, sentada a los pies del Señor, escuchaba lo que él decía. 40 Marta, por su parte, se sentía abrumada porque tenía mucho que hacer. Así que se acercó a él y dijo:

—Señor, ¿no te importa que mi hermana me haya dejado sirviendo sola? ¡Dile que me ayude!

41 —Marta, Marta —contestó el Señor—, estás inquieta y preocupada por muchas cosas, 42 pero solo una es necesaria.[h] María ha escogido la mejor y nadie se la quitará.

Luke 10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Chapter 10

The Mission of the Seventy-two.[a] 1 After this the Lord appointed seventy[-two][b] others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.(A) 2 He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.(B) 3 Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.(C) 4 [c]Carry no money bag,(D) no sack, no sandals;(E) and greet no one along the way. 5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’[d] 6 If a peaceful person[e] lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another.(F) 8 Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you,(G) 9 cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’(H) 10 Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say,(I) 11 ‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.’ Yet know this: the kingdom of God is at hand.(J) 12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.(K)

Reproaches to Unrepentant Towns.[f] 13 (L)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!(M) For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 [g](N)And as for you, Capernaum, ‘Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.’ 16 Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”(O)

Return of the Seventy-two. 17 The seventy[-two] returned rejoicing, and said, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us because of your name.” 18 Jesus said, “I have observed Satan fall like lightning[h] from the sky.(P) 19 Behold, I have given you the power ‘to tread upon serpents’ and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you.(Q) 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”(R)

Praise of the Father.(S) 21 At that very moment he rejoiced [in] the holy Spirit and said, “I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.[i] Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.(T) 22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”(U)

The Privileges of Discipleship.(V) 23 Turning to the disciples in private he said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”

The Greatest Commandment.(W) 25 [j]There was a scholar of the law[k] who stood up to test him and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(X) 26 Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” 27 He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”(Y) 28 He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.”(Z)

The Parable of the Good Samaritan. 29 But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. 31 [l]A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. 32 Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. 33 But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. 34 He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him. 35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ 36 Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” 37 He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

Martha and Mary.[m] 38 (AA)As they continued their journey he entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. 39 [n]She had a sister named Mary [who] sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. 40 Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” 41 The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. 42 [o]There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.”

Footnotes

  1. 10:1–12 Only the Gospel of Luke contains two episodes in which Jesus sends out his followers on a mission: the first (Lk 9:1–6) is based on the mission in Mk 6:6b–13 and recounts the sending out of the Twelve; here in Lk 10:1–12 a similar report based on Q becomes the sending out of seventy-two in this gospel. The episode continues the theme of Jesus preparing witnesses to himself and his ministry. These witnesses include not only the Twelve but also the seventy-two who may represent the Christian mission in Luke’s own day. Note that the instructions given to the Twelve and to the seventy-two are similar and that what is said to the seventy-two in Lk 10:4 is directed to the Twelve in Lk 22:35.
  2. 10:1 Seventy[-two]: important representatives of the Alexandrian and Caesarean text types read “seventy,” while other important Alexandrian texts and Western readings have “seventy-two.”
  3. 10:4 Carry no money bag…greet no one along the way: because of the urgency of the mission and the singlemindedness required of missionaries, attachment to material possessions should be avoided and even customary greetings should not distract from the fulfillment of the task.
  4. 10:5 First say, ‘Peace to this household’: see notes on Lk 2:14 and Mt 10:13.
  5. 10:6 A peaceful person: literally, “a son of peace.”
  6. 10:13–16 The call to repentance that is a part of the proclamation of the kingdom brings with it a severe judgment for those who hear it and reject it.
  7. 10:15 The netherworld: the underworld, the place of the dead (Acts 2:27, 31) here contrasted with heaven; see also note on Mt 11:23.
  8. 10:18 I have observed Satan fall like lightning: the effect of the mission of the seventy-two is characterized by the Lucan Jesus as a symbolic fall of Satan. As the kingdom of God is gradually being established, evil in all its forms is being defeated; the dominion of Satan over humanity is at an end.
  9. 10:21 Revealed them to the childlike: a restatement of the theme announced in Lk 8:10: the mysteries of the kingdom are revealed to the disciples. See also note on Mt 11:25–27.
  10. 10:25–37 In response to a question from a Jewish legal expert about inheriting eternal life, Jesus illustrates the superiority of love over legalism through the story of the good Samaritan. The law of love proclaimed in the “Sermon on the Plain” (Lk 6:27–36) is exemplified by one whom the legal expert would have considered ritually impure (see Jn 4:9). Moreover, the identity of the “neighbor” requested by the legal expert (Lk 10:29) turns out to be a Samaritan, the enemy of the Jew (see note on Lk 9:52).
  11. 10:25 Scholar of the law: an expert in the Mosaic law, and probably a member of the group elsewhere identified as the scribes (Lk 5:21).
  12. 10:31–32 Priest…Levite: those religious representatives of Judaism who would have been expected to be models of “neighbor” to the victim pass him by.
  13. 10:38–42 The story of Martha and Mary further illustrates the importance of hearing the words of the teacher and the concern with women in Luke.
  14. 10:39 Sat beside the Lord at his feet: it is remarkable for first-century Palestinian Judaism that a woman would assume the posture of a disciple at the master’s feet (see also Lk 8:35; Acts 22:3), and it reveals a characteristic attitude of Jesus toward women in this gospel (see Lk 8:2–3).
  15. 10:42 There is need of only one thing: some ancient versions read, “there is need of few things”; another important, although probably inferior, reading found in some manuscripts is, “there is need of few things, or of one.”
