Lukas 10
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
10 Siden utvalgte Herren også sytti andre og sendte dem ut, to og to, i forveien for sig til hver by og hvert sted hvor han selv skulde komme.
2 Og han sa til dem: Høsten er stor, men arbeiderne få; bed derfor høstens herre at han vil drive arbeidere ut til sin høst!
3 Gå avsted! Se, jeg sender eder som lam midt iblandt ulver.
4 Bær ikke pung, ikke skreppe, ikke sko; gi eder ikke i tale med nogen på veien!
5 Men hvor I kommer inn i et hus, der skal I først si: Fred være med dette hus!
6 Og er det et fredens barn der, da skal eders fred hvile over ham, men hvis ikke, da skal den vende tilbake over eder.
7 Men bli der i huset, og et og drikk hvad de byr eder! for arbeideren er sin lønn verd. I skal ikke flytte fra hus til hus.
8 Og hvor I kommer inn i en by og de tar imot eder, der skal I ete hvad de setter frem for eder,
9 og helbred de syke som er der, og si til dem: Guds rike er kommet nær til eder!
10 Men hvor I kommer inn i en by og de ikke tar imot eder, der skal I gå ut på dens gater og si:
11 Endog støvet som er blitt hengende ved våre føtter av eders by, stryker vi av til eder; men dette skal I vite at Guds rike er kommet nær!
12 Jeg sier eder at det skal gå Sodoma tåleligere på hin dag enn den by.
13 Ve dig, Korasin! ve dig, Betsaida! for dersom de kraftige gjerninger som er gjort i eder, var gjort i Tyrus og Sidon, da hadde de for lenge siden omvendt sig og sittet i sekk og aske.
14 Dog, det skal gå Tyrus og Sidon tåleligere i dommen enn eder.
15 Og du, Kapernaum, som er blitt ophøiet like til himmelen! like til dødsriket skal du bli nedstøtt.
16 Den som hører eder, hører mig, og den som forkaster eder, forkaster mig, og den som forkaster mig, forkaster ham som sendte mig.
17 Og de sytti kom glade tilbake og sa: Herre! endog de onde ånder er oss lydige i ditt navn!
18 Da sa han til dem: Jeg så Satan falle ned fra himmelen som et lyn.
19 Se, jeg har gitt eder makt til å trede på slanger og skorpioner og over alt fiendens velde, og ingen ting skal skade eder;
20 dog, gled eder ikke over dette at åndene er eder lydige, men gled eder over at eders navn er opskrevet i himmelen!
21 I den samme stund frydet han sig i den Hellige Ånd og sa: Jeg priser dig, Fader, himmelens og jordens herre, fordi du har skjult dette for de vise og forstandige og åpenbaret det for de umyndige; ja, Fader, fordi således skjedde det som var velbehagelig for dig.
22 Alle ting er mig overgitt av min Fader, og ingen kjenner til hvem Sønnen er, uten Faderen, og hvem Faderen er, uten Sønnen og den som Sønnen vil åpenbare det for.
23 Og han vendte sig særlig til sine disipler og sa: Salige er de øine som ser det I ser;
24 for jeg sier eder: Mange profeter og konger har villet se det I ser, og har ikke fått se det, og høre det I hører, og har ikke fått høre det.
25 Og se, en lovkyndig stod op og fristet ham og sa: Mester! hvad skal jeg gjøre forat jeg kan arve evig liv?
26 Han sa til ham: Hvad er skrevet i loven? hvorledes leser du?
27 Han svarte og sa: Du skal elske Herren din Gud av alt ditt hjerte og av all din sjel og av all din makt og av all din hu, og din næste som dig selv.
28 Da sa han til ham: Du svarte rett; gjør dette, så skal du leve!
29 Men da han vilde gjøre sig selv rettferdig, sa han til Jesus: Hvem er da min næste?
30 Jesus svarte og sa: En mann gikk ned fra Jerusalem til Jeriko, og han falt iblandt røvere, som både klædde ham av og slo ham og gikk bort og lot ham ligge halvdød.
31 Men det traff sig så at en prest drog samme vei ned, og han så ham, og gikk like forbi.
32 Likeså en levitt; han kom til stedet, gikk frem og så ham, og gikk like forbi.
33 Men en samaritan som var på reise, kom dit hvor han var, og da han så ham, ynkedes han inderlig,
34 og han gikk bort til ham og forbandt hans sår og helte olje og vin i dem, og han løftet ham op på sitt eget dyr og førte ham til et herberge og pleide ham.
35 Og da det led mot næste dag, tok han to penninger frem og gav verten og sa til ham: Plei ham! og hvad mere du måtte koste på ham, det skal jeg betale dig igjen når jeg kommer tilbake.
36 Hvem av disse tre synes du nu viste sig som den manns næste som var falt iblandt røverne?
37 Han sa: Den som gjorde barmhjertighet imot ham. Da sa Jesus til ham: Gå du bort og gjør likeså!
38 Og det skjedde mens de var på vandring, at han kom til en by, og en kvinne ved navn Marta tok imot ham i sitt hus.
39 Og hun hadde en søster som hette Maria; hun satte sig ved Jesu føtter og hørte på hans ord.
40 Men Marta hadde det meget travelt med å tjene ham; hun gikk da frem og sa: Herre! bryr du dig ikke om at min søster har latt mig bli alene om å tjene dig? Si da til henne at hun skal hjelpe mig!
41 Men Jesus svarte og sa til henne: Marta! Marta! du gjør dig strev og uro med mange ting;
42 men ett er nødvendig. Maria har valgt den gode del, som ikke skal tas fra henne.
Luke 10
King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 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.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 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.

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. 2 (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. 3 Go your way; (E)behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 (F)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and (G)greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, (H)‘Peace be to this house!’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, (I)it will return to you. 7 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. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 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.”
