Luke 10
English Standard Version
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.”

The Mission of the Seventy
10 After this the Lord appointed seventy[a] others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to go. 2 He said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest. 3 Go on your way. See, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace to this house!” 6 And if anyone is there who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that person; but if not, it will return to you. 7 Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the labourer deserves to be paid. Do not move about from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what is set before you; 9 cure the sick who are there, and say to them, “The kingdom of God has come near to you.”[b] 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11 “Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off in protest against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has come near.”[c] 12 I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town.
Woes to Unrepentant Cities
13 ‘Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But at the judgement it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum,
will you be exalted to heaven?
No, you will be brought down to Hades.
16 ‘Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me, and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.’
The Return of the Seventy
17 The seventy[d] returned with joy, saying, ‘Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!’ 18 He said to them, ‘I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. 19 See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.’
Jesus Rejoices
21 At that same hour Jesus[e] rejoiced in the Holy Spirit[f] and said, ‘I thank[g] you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.[h] 22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.’
23 Then turning to the disciples, Jesus[i] said to them privately, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 24 For I tell you that 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 Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus.[j] ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ 26 He said to him, ‘What is written in the law? What do you read there?’ 27 He answered, ‘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 your neighbour as yourself.’ 28 And he said to him, ‘You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.’
29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’ 30 Jesus replied, ‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan while travelling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii,[k] gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.” 36 Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?’ 37 He said, ‘The one who showed him mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’
Jesus Visits Martha and Mary
38 Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.’ 41 But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 42 there is need of only one thing.[l] Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.’

Jesús envía a los setenta
10 Después de esto, el Señor(A) designó a otros setenta[a], y los envió de dos en dos(B) delante de Él(C), a toda ciudad y lugar adonde Él había de ir. 2 Y les decía: «La cosecha es mucha, pero los obreros pocos; rueguen, por tanto, al Señor de la cosecha que envíe obreros a Su cosecha(D). 3 Vayan; miren que los envío como corderos en medio de lobos(E). 4 (F)No lleven bolsa, ni alforja[b], ni sandalias; y a nadie saluden por el camino.
5 »En cualquier casa que entren, primero digan: “Paz a esta casa”. 6 Y si hay allí un hijo de paz, la paz de ustedes reposará sobre él; pero si no, se volverá a ustedes. 7 Permanezcan entonces en esa casa[c], comiendo y bebiendo lo que les den[d]; porque el obrero es digno de su salario(G). No se pasen de casa en casa. 8 En cualquier ciudad donde entren y los reciban, coman lo que les sirvan(H); 9 sanen a los enfermos que haya en ella, y díganles: “Se ha acercado a ustedes el reino de Dios(I)”.
10 »Pero en cualquier ciudad donde entren, y no los reciban, salgan a sus calles, y digan: 11 “Hasta el polvo de su ciudad que se pega a nuestros pies, nos lo sacudimos en protesta contra ustedes(J); pero sepan esto: que el reino de Dios se ha acercado(K)”. 12 Les digo que en aquel día será más tolerable el castigo para Sodoma que para aquella ciudad(L).
13 »¡(M) Ay de ti Corazín! ¡Ay de ti Betsaida! Porque si los milagros[e] que se hicieron entre ustedes hubieran sido hechos en Tiro y Sidón, hace tiempo que se hubieran arrepentido sentados en cilicio y ceniza(N) . 14 Por eso, en el juicio será más tolerable el castigo para Tiro y Sidón(O)que para ustedes. 15 Y tú, Capernaúm(P), ¿acaso serás elevada hasta los cielos? ¡Hasta el Hades[f]serás hundida(Q)!
16 »El que a ustedes escucha, me escucha a Mí(R) , y el que a ustedes rechaza, me rechaza a Mí; y el que me rechaza a Mí, rechaza al que me envió(S) ».
Regreso de los setenta
17 Los setenta[g] regresaron con gozo, diciendo: «Señor, hasta los demonios se nos sujetan en Tu nombre(T)». 18 Y Él les dijo: «Yo veía a Satanás(U)caer del cielo como un rayo. 19 Miren, les he dado autoridad para pisotear sobre serpientes(V)y escorpiones, y sobre todo el poder del enemigo, y nada les hará daño. 20 Sin embargo, no se regocijen en esto, de que los espíritus se les sometan, sino regocíjense de que sus nombres están escritos en los cielos(W)».
Jesús se regocija
21 (X)En aquella misma hora Jesús se regocijó mucho en el Espíritu Santo, y dijo: «Te alabo, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque ocultaste estas cosas a sabios y a inteligentes, y las revelaste a niños. Sí, Padre, porque así fue de Tu agrado. 22 Todas las cosas me han sido entregadas(Y)por Mi Padre, y nadie sabe quién es el Hijo sino el Padre, ni quién es el Padre sino el Hijo(Z), y aquel a quien el Hijo se lo quiera revelar».
23 (AA)Volviéndose hacia los discípulos, les dijo aparte: «Dichosos los ojos que ven lo que ustedes ven; 24 porque les digo que muchos profetas y reyes desearon ver lo que ustedes ven, y no lo vieron, y oír lo que ustedes oyen, y no lo oyeron».
Pregunta sobre la vida eterna
25 (AB)Cierto intérprete de la ley[h] se levantó, y para poner[i] a prueba a Jesús(AC) dijo: «Maestro, ¿qué haré para heredar la vida eterna?». 26 Y Jesús le dijo: «¿Qué está escrito en la ley? ¿Qué[j]lees en ella?».
27 Respondiendo él, dijo: «Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma, y con toda tu fuerza, y con toda tu mente, y a tu prójimo como a ti mismo(AD)». 28 Entonces Jesús le dijo: «Has respondido correctamente; haz esto y vivirás(AE)». 29 Pero queriendo él justificarse a sí mismo(AF), dijo a Jesús: «¿Y quién es mi prójimo?».
Parábola del buen samaritano
30 Jesús le respondió: «Cierto hombre bajaba de Jerusalén(AG)a Jericó, y cayó en manos de salteadores, los cuales después de despojarlo y de darle golpes, se fueron, dejándolo medio muerto. 31 Por casualidad cierto sacerdote bajaba por aquel camino, y cuando lo vio, pasó por el otro lado del camino. 32 Del mismo modo, también un levita, cuando llegó al lugar y lo vio, pasó por el otro lado del camino.
33 »Pero cierto samaritano(AH) , que iba de viaje, llegó adonde él estaba; y cuando lo vio, tuvo compasión. 34 Acercándose, le vendó sus heridas, derramando aceite y vino sobre ellas; y poniéndolo sobre su propia cabalgadura, lo llevó a un mesón y lo cuidó.
35 »Al día siguiente, sacando dos denarios[k] se los dio al mesonero, y dijo: “Cuídelo, y todo lo demás que gaste, cuando yo regrese se lo pagaré”. 36 ¿Cuál de estos tres piensas tú que demostró ser prójimo del que cayó en manos de los salteadores?». 37 El intérprete de la ley respondió: «El que tuvo misericordia de él». «Ve y haz tú lo mismo», le dijo Jesús.
Jesús visita a Marta y a María
38 Mientras iban ellos de camino, Jesús entró en cierta aldea; y una mujer llamada Marta(AI) lo recibió en su casa. 39 Ella tenía una hermana que se llamaba María(AJ), que[l] sentada a los pies del Señor, escuchaba Su palabra(AK). 40 Pero Marta(AL) se preocupaba con todos los preparativos[m]. Y acercándose a Él, le dijo: «Señor, ¿no te importa que mi hermana me deje servir sola? Dile, pues, que me ayude».
41 El Señor le respondió: «Marta, Marta(AM), tú estás preocupada y molesta por tantas cosas(AN); 42 pero una sola cosa es necesaria[n](AO), y[o]María(AP)ha escogido la parte buena, la cual no le será quitada».
