Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two

10 After this, the Lord chose seventy-two[a] others and sent them out in pairs ahead of him into every town and place where he planned to go. He said to them, “There are a great many people to harvest, but there are only a few workers. So pray to God, who owns the harvest, that he will send more workers to help gather his harvest. Go now, but listen! I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Don’t carry a purse, a bag, or sandals, and don’t waste time talking with people on the road. Before you go into a house, say, ‘Peace be with this house.’ If peace-loving people live there, your blessing of peace will stay with them, but if not, then your blessing will come back to you. Stay in the same house, eating and drinking what the people there give you. A worker should be given his pay. Don’t move from house to house. If you go into a town and the people welcome you, eat what they give you. Heal the sick who live there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’ 10 But if you go into a town, and the people don’t welcome you, then go into the streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dirt from your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you.[b] But remember that the kingdom of God is near.’ 12 I tell you, on the Judgment Day it will be better for the people of Sodom[c] than for the people of that town.

Jesus Warns Unbelievers

13 “How terrible for you, Korazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! If the miracles I did in you had happened in Tyre and Sidon,[d] those people would have changed their lives long ago. They would have worn rough cloth and put ashes on themselves to show they had changed. 14 But on the Judgment Day it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum,[e] will you be lifted up to heaven? No! You will be thrown down to the depths!

16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever refuses to accept you refuses to accept me. And whoever refuses to accept me refuses to accept the One who sent me.”

Satan Falls

17 When the seventy-two[f] came back, they were very happy and said, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we used your name!”

18 Jesus said, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Listen, I have given you power to walk on snakes and scorpions, power that is greater than the enemy has. So nothing will hurt you. 20 But you should not be happy because the spirits obey you but because your names are written in heaven.”

Jesus Prays to the Father

21 Then Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the people who are wise and smart. But you have shown them to those who are like little children. Yes, Father, this is what you really wanted.

22 “My Father has given me all things. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father. And no one knows who the Father is, except the Son and those whom the Son chooses to tell.”

23 Then Jesus turned to his followers and said privately, “You are blessed to see what you now see. 24 I tell you, many prophets and kings wanted to see what you now see, but they did not, and they wanted to hear what you now hear, but they did not.”

The Good Samaritan

25 Then an expert on the law stood up to test Jesus, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to get life forever?”

26 Jesus said, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?”

27 The man answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.”[g] Also, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”[h]

28 Jesus said to him, “Your answer is right. Do this and you will live.”

29 But the man, wanting to show the importance of his question, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 Jesus answered, “As a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, some robbers attacked him. They tore off his clothes, beat him, and left him lying there, almost dead. 31 It happened that a priest was going down that road. When he saw the man, he walked by on the other side. 32 Next, a Levite[i] came there, and after he went over and looked at the man, he walked by on the other side of the road. 33 Then a Samaritan[j] traveling down the road came to where the hurt man was. When he saw the man, he felt very sorry for him. 34 The Samaritan went to him, poured olive oil and wine[k] on his wounds, and bandaged them. Then he put the hurt man on his own donkey and took him to an inn where he cared for him. 35 The next day, the Samaritan brought out two coins,[l] gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you spend more money on him, I will pay it back to you when I come again.’”

36 Then Jesus said, “Which one of these three men do you think was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by the robbers?”

37 The expert on the law answered, “The one who showed him mercy.”

Jesus said to him, “Then go and do what he did.”

Mary and Martha

38 While Jesus and his followers were traveling, Jesus went into a town. A woman named Martha let Jesus stay at her house. 39 Martha had a sister named Mary, who was sitting at Jesus’ feet and listening to him teach. 40 But Martha was busy with all the work to be done. She went in and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me alone to do all the work? Tell her to help me.”

41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things. 42 Only one thing is important. Mary has chosen the better thing, and it will never 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. (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. Go your way; (E)behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. (F)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and (G)greet no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first say, (H)‘Peace be to this house!’ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, (I)it will return to you. 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. Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 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.”

Ang Pagsusugo ni Jesus ng Pitumpu't Dalawa

10 Pagkatapos ng mga ito, humirang ang Panginoon ng pitumpu't dalawa[a] at sila ay dala-dalawa niyang pinauna sa bawat bayan at pook na kanyang pupuntahan. Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Napakarami ng aanihin, subalit kakaunti lamang ang manggagawa. Kaya idalangin ninyo sa Panginoon ng pag-aani na magpadala siya ng manggagawa sa kanyang aanihin. Humayo kayo; isinusugo ko kayo na tulad ng mga tupa sa gitna ng mga asong-gubat. Huwag kayong magdala ng lalagyan ng salapi, o ng supot, o ng mga sandalyas. At huwag kayong bumati kaninuman sa daan. Sa alinmang bahay na inyong tuluyan, sabihin muna ninyo, ‘Maghari nawa ang kapayapaan sa sambahayang ito.’ At kung mayroon doon na maibigin sa kapayapaan, mananatili sa kanya ang inyong kapayapaan. Kung wala naman, babalik sa inyo ang inyong basbas. Manatili kayo sa iisang bahay at huwag magpalipat-lipat. Kainin ninyo at inumin ang anumang ihain sa inyo, sapagkat ang manggagawa ay karapat-dapat sa kanyang sahod. Sa alinmang bayan na inyong puntahan at tanggapin kayo ng mga tagaroon, kainin ninyo ang anumang ihain sa inyo. Pagalingin ninyo ang mga maysakit doon at sabihin ninyo sa kanila, ‘Malapit na sa inyo ang paghahari ng Diyos.’ 10 Subalit sa alinmang bayan na puntahan ninyo at hindi kayo tanggapin ng mga tagaroon, pumunta kayo sa mga lansangan nito at sabihin, 11 ‘Ipinapagpag namin laban sa inyo maging ang mga alikabok ng inyong bayan na kumapit sa aming paa. Subalit pakatandaan ninyong lumapit na sa inyo ang paghahari ng Diyos.’ 12 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, mas mabuti pa ang sasapitin ng Sodoma kaysa sasapitin ng bayang iyon sa araw ng paghuhukom.”

Ang Masaklap na Sasapitin ng mga Bayang Hindi Nagsisi(A)

13 “Kaysaklap ng sasapitin mo, Corazin! Kaysaklap ng sasapitin mo, Bethsaida! Sapagkat kung sa Tiro at Sidon nangyari ang mga kababalaghang ginawa sa inyo, marahil ay matagal na silang nagsisi na nakaupong may damit-sako at abo. 14 Subalit mas mabuti pa ang sasapitin ng Tiro at Sidon sa araw ng paghuhukom kaysa inyo. 15 At ikaw, Capernaum, sa akala mo ba'y iaakyat ka sa langit? Hades ang iyong kababagsakan!” 16 Sinabi niya sa mga alagad, “Ang nakikinig sa inyo ay sa akin nakikinig, at ang mga ayaw tumanggap sa inyo ay ako ang ayaw nilang tanggapin. At ang ayaw tumanggap sa akin ay ayaw tumanggap sa nagsugo sa akin.”

Ang Pagbabalik ng Pitumpu't Dalawa

17 Bumalik ang pitumpu't dalawa[b] at nagagalak na nagsabi kay Jesus, “Panginoon, maging ang mga demonyo ay nagpapasakop sa amin dahil sa inyong pangalan!” 18 At sinabi niya sa kanila, “Nakita ko si Satanas na bumulusok mula sa langit tulad ng kidlat. 19 Tingnan ninyo, binibigyan ko kayo ng kapangyarihang tapakan ang mga ahas at mga alakdan, at mangibabaw sa kapangyarihan ng kaaway. Walang makapananakit sa inyo. 20 Gayunman, huwag ninyong ikagalak na nagpapasakop sa inyo ang mga espiritu. Sa halip, ikagalak ninyo na ang inyong pangalan ay nakasulat sa langit.”

Nagalak si Jesus(B)

21 Nang oras ding iyon, napuspos si Jesus ng kagalakan mula sa Banal na Espiritu. Sinabi niya, “Salamat sa iyo, Ama, Panginoon ng langit at lupa, sapagkat ikinubli mo ang mga ito sa mga marurunong at matatalino at ipinahayag mo sa mga sanggol. Oo, Ama, sapagkat gayon ang nakalulugod sa iyo. 22 Ibinigay na sa akin ng Ama ang lahat ng bagay. Walang nakakakilala sa Anak maliban sa Ama, at walang nakakakilala sa Ama maliban sa Anak at kaninumang pinagpahayagan ng Anak.” 23 Humarap siya sa mga alagad at sinabi sa kanila nang sarilinan, “Pinagpala ang mga matang nakakakita ng inyong nakikita. 24 Sapagkat sinasabi ko sa inyo maraming propeta at mga haring naghangad makakita ng mga nakita ninyo ngunit hindi nakakita nito at makarinig ng inyong narinig ngunit hindi nila narinig.”

Ang Talinghaga ng Mabuting Samaritano

25 May isang dalubhasa sa Kautusan na tumayo at nagsabi nang ganito upang subukin si Jesus, “Guro, ano ang dapat kong gawin upang magmana ng buhay na walang hanggan?” 26 “Ano ba ang nasusulat sa Kautusan?” sagot ni Jesus. “Ano ang pagkaunawa mo?” 27 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Mahalin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang buong puso, at nang buong kaluluwa, at nang buong lakas, at nang buong pag-iisip mo; at mahalin mo ang iyong kapwa na gaya ng iyong sarili.” 28 At sinabi niya sa kanya, “Tama ang sagot mo. Gawin mo iyon at mabubuhay ka.” 29 Ngunit sa pagnanais niyang hindi magmukhang kahiya-hiya, sinabi niya kay Jesus, “Sino naman ang aking kapwa?” 30 Sumagot si Jesus, “May isang lalaking bumaba mula Jerusalem patungong Jerico na naging biktima ng mga tulisan. Hinubaran siya ng mga ito, binugbog, at pagkatapos ay tumakas at iniwan ang lalaki na halos patay na. 31 Nagkataong isang pari ang dumaan din doon. Nang makita ng pari ang lalaki, lumihis iyon sa kabila. 32 Ganoon din ang ginawa ng isang Levita. Dumaan din ito doon at nang makita ang lalaki ay lumihis din sa kabila. 33 Subalit isang Samaritano na naglalakbay ang lumapit sa lalaki, at nang makita ito ay nahabag siya. 34 Nilapitan ng Samaritano ang lalaki, binuhusan ng langis at alak ang kanyang mga sugat, at pagkatapos ay binendahan. Isinakay niya ang lalaki sa kanyang sariling hayop, at pagkatapos ay dinala sa isang bahay-panuluyan at inalagaan doon. 35 Kinabukasan, binigyan niya ng dalawang denaryo ang may-ari ng bahay-panuluyan at pinagbilinan ito, ‘Alagaan mo siya at anumang dagdag na gastusin mo ay babayaran ko sa iyo sa aking pagbabalik.’ 36 Sa palagay mo, sino sa tatlong iyon ang naging kapwa-tao sa lalaking naging biktima ng mga tulisan?” 37 At sinabi niya, “Ang taong nahabag sa kanya.” Kaya sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Humayo ka at ganoon din ang gawin mo.”

Dinalaw ni Jesus sina Marta at Maria

38 Sa pagpapatuloy ng kanilang paglalakbay, pumasok si Jesus sa isang nayon. Isang babae roon, na ang pangala'y Marta, ang malugod na tumanggap kay Jesus sa kanyang bahay. 39 Mayroon siyang kapatid na babae na ang pangalan ay Maria, na naupo sa paanan ng Panginoon at nakinig sa mga sinasabi ni Jesus. 40 Ngunit nag-aalala si Marta sa dami ng gawain kaya't lumapit siya kay Jesus at nagsabi, “Panginoon, wala bang anuman sa inyo na pinababayaan ako ng aking kapatid na maglingkod mag-isa? Sabihin ninyo sa kanya na tumulong sa akin.” 41 Ngunit sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon, “Marta, Marta, nag-aalala ka at nababagabag sa maraming bagay. 42 ngunit isang bagay lamang ang kailangan. Pinili ni Maria ang mabuting bahagi at ito'y hindi kukunin sa kanya.”

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two(A)(B)(C)

10 After this the Lord(D) appointed seventy-two[a] others(E) and sent them two by two(F) ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.(G) He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.(H) Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.(I) Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages.(J) Do not move around from house to house.

“When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.(K) Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God(L) has come near to you.’ 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you.(M) Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’(N) 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom(O) than for that town.(P)

13 “Woe to you,(Q) Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth(R) and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum,(S) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[b]

16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”(T)

17 The seventy-two(U) returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”(V)

18 He replied, “I saw Satan(W) fall like lightning from heaven.(X) 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes(Y) and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”(Z)

21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.(AA) Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father.(AB) No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”(AC)

23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”(AD)

The Parable of the Good Samaritan(AE)

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(AF)

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c];(AG) and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d](AH)

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”(AI)

29 But he wanted to justify himself,(AJ) so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.(AK) 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan,(AL) as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

At the Home of Martha and Mary

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha(AM) opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary,(AN) who sat at the Lord’s feet(AO) listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care(AP) that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried(AQ) and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[f](AR) Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
