Luke 10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Sending Out the Seventy
10 After this, the Lord appointed 70[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 son of peace[b] 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 be moving 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 as a witness against you(P) even the dust of your town that clings to our feet. 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
17 The Seventy[c](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 a lightning flash.(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 will ever harm you.(AS) 20 However, don’t rejoice that[d] the spirits(AT) submit to you,(AU) but rejoice that your names are written(AV) in heaven.”
The Son Reveals the Father
21 In that same hour(AW) He[e] rejoiced in the Holy[f] Spirit(AX) and said, “I praise[g] You, Father,(AY) Lord of heaven and earth,(AZ) because You have hidden these things from the wise and the learned(BA) and have revealed them to infants.(BB) Yes, Father, because this was Your good pleasure.[h](BC) 22 All things have[i] 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[j] to reveal Him.”(BD)
23 Then turning to His disciples He said privately, “The eyes that see the things you see are blessed! 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see yet didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn’t hear them.”(BE)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 Just(BF) then 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.(BM)[k]
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[l] he took out two denarii, 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.(BZ) Mary has made the right choice,[r] and it will not be taken away from her.”

Orthodox Jewish Bible
10 And after these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu gave smichah to shivim (seventy) others and sent them on ahead of him shnayim shnayim (two by two) into every shtetl and place where he was about to arrive.
2 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was saying to them, Indeed the Katzir is plentiful, but the poalim of the Katzir are few; therefore, ask the Adon of the Katzir that he might send out poalim into his Katzir.
3 Go I send you as kevasim (sheep) into the midst of ze’evim (wolves).
4 Do not carry a bag for kesef, nor a schnorrer’s sack (beggar’s bag), nor sandals, and, along the derech, dispense with time-consuming Birkat Shalom’s.
5 Into whatever bais you enter, first say, Shalom to this bais.
6 And if there is a ben hashalom there, your shalom will rest upon him. Otherwise, on you it will return.
7 Remain in the same bais eating and drinking the things with them. For worthy is the poel (worker) of his loin (wages). Do not move from bais to bais.
8 And into whichever shtetl you enter and they receive you, eat the okhel (food) being set before you,
9 And give refuah (healing) to the cholim (sick people) and say to them, The Malchut Hashem has come near you.
10 And into whatever shtetl you enter and they do not receive you, having gone out into the rekhovot (streets) of that shtetl,
11 Say, Even the [Goyishe unclean] dust from your shtetl, which clings to us, we shake off from our feet as an omen of din (judgment) against you. But have daas of this, that the Malchut Hashem has come near.
12 I [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] say to you, that for Sdom in Yom HaHu [Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment] it will be more bearable than it will be for that shtetl.
13 Woe to you, Korazin, oy to you, Beit-Tzaidah, because if in Tzor and Tzidon had occurred the gevurot that have happened in you, long ago, they, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, would have made teshuva.
14 But for Tzor and Tzidon it will be more bearable in the Yom HaDin than for you.
15 And you, Kfar-Nachum, surely not up to Shomayim will you be exalted? To Gehinnom you will descend!
16 The one listening to you listens to me [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach], and the one rejecting you, rejects me [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach]. But the one rejecting me [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach], rejects the One [the G-d of Yisroel] who sent me.
17 And the Shivim returned with simcha, saying, Adoneinu, even the shedim submit to us bShem of you [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, Yeshua].
18 And he said to them, I was seeing Hasatan falling like lightning from Shomayim. [YESHAYAH 14:12]
19 Hinei I have given to you the koach and the samchut to walk on nechashim (snakes) and akrabim (scorpions), and on all the koach of HaOyev, and nothing may by any means injure you.
20 But in this do not have a lev sameach, on account of the ruchot submitting to you, but have lev sameach that your shemot have been inscribed in Shomayim.
21 In the same hour Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was full of simcha by the Ruach Hakodesh. And he said, Baruch Hashem, Avi, Adon HaShomayim vHaAretz, that You concealed these things from those with chochmah and seichel and You revealed them to yeladim. Ken, Avi, for thus it was well pleasing in Your sight.
22 Everything was handed over to me by Avi, and no one has daas of HaBen except HaAv. And no one has daas of HaAv except HaBen, and whomever HaBen wishes to reveal Him.
23 And, having turned to the talmidim in a yechidus, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Ashrey [are] the eyes seeing what you see.
24 For I say to you that many neviim and melachim wanted to see what you see and they did not see them, and to hear what you hear and they did not hear them.
25 And a certain Talmid Chacham, a Baal Torah, stood up, testing Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Rabbi, what mitzvah must I do to inherit Chayyei Olam?
26 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, In the Torah what has been written? How do you read it?
27 And in reply the Baal Torah said, VAHAVTA ES ADONOI ELOHECHA BKHOL LVAVCHA UVECHOL NAFSHECHA UVECHOL MODECHA [DEVARIM 6:4,5] and L’REACHA KAMOCHA [DEVARIM 6:5; VAYIKRA 19:18]
28 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Your answer is frum. Richtik. Do this and you will live.
29 But because the Baal Torah wanted to justify himself, to be yitzdak im Hashem (justified with G-d, IYOV 25:4) on the basis of his own zchus (merit) he said to him, And who is my REA (neighbor)?
30 In reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, A certain ish was coming down from Yerushalayim to Yericho, and he encountered shodedim. They stripped him and inflicted a klap, more than one, and they went away and left him half dead.
31 It so happened that a certain kohen was coming down by that derech, and, having seen him, he passed by on the other side. [VAYIKRA 21:1-3]
32 And likewise also a Levi happened upon the place, but when he came and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Shomroni, traveling along on the derech, came upon him; and when he saw him, he was filled with rachmei shomayim.
34 And when this Shomroni approached, he bandaged the man’s wounds, pouring shemen and yayin over them; and when he had placed him upon his own donkey, he brought the man to a malon and cared for him.
35 And on the next day he produced two denarii and gave them to the inn keeper of the malon and said, Take care of him, and whatever you spend additionally, I will take care of, when I return.
36 Who of these shalosha seems to you to have become a re’a to the one having fallen among the shodedim?
37 And the Baal Torah answered, The one having shown the man rachamim. And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Go and do likewise.
38 And while they were on the derech, he entered into a certain shtetl. And a certain isha by name of Marta received him.
39 And this isha had an achot named Miryam, who sat down at the feet of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu listening to his dvar.
40 But Marta was distracted with much badinen. And having stood by, she said, Adoneinu, is it of no concern to you that my achot has left me alone to serve? Speak, then, to her to help me.
41 And in reply Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu said to her, Marta, Marta, you are anxious and worried about many things,
42 But one is necessary. For Miryam chose HaTov which will not be taken away from her.
