Luke 10
Christian Standard Bible
Sending Out the Seventy-Two
10 After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two[a] others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 He told them,(A) “The harvest(B) is abundant, but the workers(C) are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.(D) 3 Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.(E) 4 Don’t carry a money-bag,(F) traveling bag,(G) or sandals; (H) don’t greet anyone along the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace(I) to this household.’ 6 If a person of peace is there, your peace(J) will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7 Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages.(K) Don’t move from house to house. 8 When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you.(L) 9 Heal the sick(M) who are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God(N) has come near(O) you.’ 10 When you enter any town, and they don’t welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘We are wiping off even the dust of your town that clings to our feet as a witness against you.(P) Know this for certain: The kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, on that day(Q) it will be more tolerable for Sodom(R) than for that town.(S)
Unrepentant Towns
13 “Woe(T) to you,(U) Chorazin!(V) Woe to you, Bethsaida!(W) For if the miracles(X) that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon,(Y) they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.(Z) 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment(AA) than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum,(AB) will you be exalted to heaven?(AC) No, you will go down to Hades.(AD) 16 Whoever listens to you listens to me.(AE) Whoever rejects you rejects me.(AF) And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”(AG)
The Return of the Seventy-Two
17 The seventy-two[b](AH) returned with joy, saying,(AI) “Lord, even the demons(AJ) submit to us in your name.”(AK)
18 He said to them, “I watched Satan(AL) fall from heaven like lightning.(AM) 19 Look, I have given you the authority(AN) to trample(AO) on snakes(AP) and scorpions(AQ) and over all the power of the enemy; (AR) nothing at all will harm you.(AS) 20 However, don’t rejoice that[c] the spirits (AT) submit to you,(AU) but rejoice that your names are written(AV) in heaven.”
The Son Reveals the Father
21 At that time(AW) he[d] rejoiced in the Holy[e] Spirit(AX) and said, “I praise[f] you, Father,(AY) Lord of heaven and earth,(AZ) because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent(BA) and revealed them to infants.(BB) Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure.[g](BC) 22 All things have[h] been entrusted 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 desires[i] to reveal him.”(BD)
23 Then turning to his 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 you see but didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear but didn’t hear them.”(BE)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 Then(BF) an expert in the law(BG) stood up to test(BH) him, saying, “Teacher,(BI) what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (BJ)
26 “What is written in the law?” he asked him. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “Love the Lord your God(BK) with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,”(BL) and “your neighbor as yourself.”[j](BM)
28 “You’ve answered correctly,” he told him. “Do this and you will live.”(BN)
29 But wanting to justify himself,(BO) he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” (BP)
30 Jesus took up the question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 In the same way, a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan(BQ) on his journey came up to him, and when he saw the man, he had compassion.(BR) 34 He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil(BS) and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 The next day[k] he took out two denarii,[l] gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him. When I come back I’ll reimburse you for whatever extra you spend.’
36 “Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”
37 “The one who showed mercy(BT) to him,” he said.
Then Jesus told him, “Go and do the same.”
Martha and Mary
38 While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha(BU) welcomed him into her home.[m] 39 She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s[n] feet(BV) and was listening to what he said.[o] 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t you care(BW) that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.”[p](BX)
41 The Lord[q] answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things,(BY) 42 but one thing is necessary.[r](BZ) Mary has made the right choice,[s] and it 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».

New King James Version
The Seventy Sent Out
10 After these things the Lord appointed [a]seventy others also, and (A)sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. 2 Then He said to them, (B)“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore (C)pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3 Go your way; (D)behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 4 (E)Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and (F)greet no one along the road. 5 (G)But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. 7 (H)And remain in the same house, (I)eating and drinking such things as they give, for (J)the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9 (K)And heal the sick there, and say to them, (L)‘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 (M)‘The very dust of your city which clings to [b]us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’ 12 [c]But I say to you that (N)it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.
Woe to the Impenitent Cities(O)
13 (P)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! (Q)For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 (R)And you, Capernaum, [d]who are (S)exalted to heaven, (T)will be brought down to Hades. 16 (U)He who hears you hears Me, (V)he who rejects you rejects Me, and (W)he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”
The Seventy Return with Joy
17 Then (X)the [e]seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
18 And He said to them, (Y)“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, (Z)I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but [f]rather rejoice because (AA)your names are written in heaven.”
Jesus Rejoices in the Spirit(AB)
21 (AC)In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22 (AD)All[g] things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and (AE)no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
23 Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, (AF)“Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; 24 for I tell you (AG)that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”
The Parable of the Good Samaritan(AH)
25 And behold, a certain [h]lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, (AI)“Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
27 So he answered and said, (AJ)“ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and (AK)‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and (AL)you will live.”
29 But he, wanting to (AM)justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among [i]thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, (AN)he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain (AO)Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had (AP)compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, [j]when he departed, he took out two (AQ)denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”
37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.”
Then Jesus said to him, (AR)“Go and do likewise.”
Mary and Martha Worship and Serve
38 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named (AS)Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, (AT)who also (AU)sat at [k]Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
41 And [l]Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But (AV)one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
