Read the Gospels in 40 Days

10 After meta · de this houtos the ho Lord kyrios appointed anadeiknymi seventy-two hebdomēkonta others heteros and kai sent apostellō them autos on pro ahead prosōpon of him autos, two dyo by ana two dyo, into eis every pas town polis and kai place topos where hou he himself autos was about mellō to go erchomai. ² And de he said legō to pros them autos, “ The ho harvest therismos is plentiful polys, but de the ho workers ergatēs are few oligos. Therefore oun ask deomai the ho Lord kyrios of the ho harvest therismos to hopōs send out ekballō workers ergatēs into eis · ho his autos harvest therismos. ³ Go hypagō then. I am sending apostellō you hymeis as hōs lambs arēn into en the midst mesos of wolves lykos. ⁴ Carry bastazō no mē moneybag ballantion, no mē knapsack pēra, no mē sandals hypodēma; and kai greet aspazomai no mēdeis one along kata the ho way hodos. ⁵ In eis whichever hos · de house oikia you enter eiserchomai, first prōton say legō, ‘ Peace eirēnē be to ho this houtos house oikos!’ ⁶ And kai if ean there is eimi a son hyios of peace eirēnē there ekei, your hymeis peace eirēnē will rest epanapauomai upon epi him autos; · ho but de if ei not mē, it will return anakamptō to epi you hymeis. ⁷ Remain menō in en that autos · de · ho house oikia, eating esthiō and kai drinking pinō what ho they provide para, for gar the ho worker ergatēs is worthy axios of ho his autos wages misthos. Do not mē move metabainō around from ek house oikia to eis house oikia.

⁸ · kai “ In eis whichever hos an town polis you enter eiserchomai, and kai they receive dechomai you hymeis, eat esthiō what ho is placed paratithēmi before you hymeis, ⁹ and kai heal therapeuō the ho sick asthenēs in en it autos and kai say legō to them autos, ‘ The ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos has come engizō near to epi you hymeis.’ ¹⁰ In eis whichever hos · de town polis you enter eiserchomai, and kai they do not mē receive dechomai you hymeis, go exerchomai out into eis · ho its autos streets platys and say legō, ¹¹ ‘ Even kai the ho dust koniortos of ek your hymeis town polis that ho clings kollaō to eis our hēmeis · ho · ho feet pous we wipe apomassō off against you hymeis. But plēn know ginōskō this houtos: the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos has come engizō near .’ ¹² I tell legō you hymeis, it will be eimi more bearable anektos for Sodom Sodoma on en · ho that ekeinos day hēmera than ē for ho that ekeinos town polis. ¹³ Woe ouai to you sy, Chorazin Chorazin! Woe ouai to you sy, Bethsaida Bēthsaida! For hoti if ei the ho mighty works dynamis that ho were done ginomai in en you hymeis had been done ginomai in en Tyre Tyros and kai Sidon Sidōn, long palai ago they metanoeō would an have repented metanoeō, sitting kathēmai in en sackcloth sakkos and kai ashes spodos. ¹⁴ But plēn it will be eimi more tolerable anektos for Tyre Tyros and kai Sidon Sidōn in en the ho judgment krisis than ē for you hymeis! ¹⁵ And kai you sy, Capernaum Kapharnaoum! Will you be exalted hypsoō to heōs heaven ouranos? No mē. You will go down katabainō to heōs · ho Hades hadēs. ¹⁶ “ The ho one who listens akouō to you hymeis listens to akouō me egō, and kai the ho one who rejects atheteō you hymeis rejects atheteō me egō, and de the ho one who rejects atheteō me egō rejects atheteō the ho one who sent apostellō me egō.”

¹⁷ The ho seventy-two hebdomēkonta returned hypostrephō · de with meta joy chara, saying legō, “ Lord kyrios, even kai the ho demons daimonion are subject hypotassō to us hēmeis in en · ho your sy name onoma!” ¹⁸ He said legō · de to them autos, “ I saw theōreō · ho Satan Satanas as he fell piptō, like hōs a bolt astrapē of lightening from ek the ho sky ouranos. ¹⁹ I have given didōmi you hymeis · ho authority exousia to ho tread pateō on epanō serpents ophis and kai scorpions skorpios, and kai authority over epi all pas the ho power dynamis of the ho enemy echthros; · kai nothing oudeis may hurt adikeō you hymeis at all ou. ²⁰ However plēn, do chairō not mē rejoice chairō in en this houtos, that hoti the ho spirits pneuma are subject hypotassō to you hymeis, but de rejoice chairō that hoti · ho your hymeis names onoma have been recorded engraphō in en · ho heaven ouranos.”

²¹ At en this autos · ho time hōra Jesus was filled agalliaō with joy by en the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, · ho and kai said legō, “ I thank exomologeomai you sy, Father patēr, Lord kyrios of ho heaven ouranos and kai · ho earth gē, that hoti you have hidden apokryptō these houtos things from apo the wise sophos and kai understanding synetos and kai revealed apokalyptō them autos to little nēpios children ; yes nai, · ho Father patēr, for hoti such houtōs was ginomai well-pleasing eudokia in your sy sight emprosthen. ²² All pas things have been handed over paradidōmi to me egō by hypo · ho my egō Father patēr, and kai no oudeis one knows ginōskō who tis the ho Son hyios is eimi except ei mē the ho Father patēr, or kai who tis the ho Father patēr is eimi except ei mē the ho Son hyios and kai anyone to whom hos the ho Son hyios decides boulomai to reveal apokalyptō him.” ²³ · kai Having turned strephō to pros the ho disciples mathētēs, he said legō to them privately kata idios, “ Fortunate makarios are the ho eyes ophthalmos that ho see blepō what hos you see blepō! ²⁴ For gar I tell legō you hymeis that hoti many polys prophets prophētēs and kai kings basileus desired thelō to see what hos you hymeis see blepō, but kai did not ou see it, and kai to hear akouō what hos you hear akouō, but kai did not ou hear akouō it.”

²⁵ Once kai idou a tis lawyer nomikos stood anistēmi up to put ekpeirazō him autos to the test , saying legō, “ Teacher didaskalos, what tis must I klēronomeō do poieō to inherit klēronomeō eternal aiōnios life zōē?” ²⁶ He ho · de said legō to pros him autos, “ What tis is written graphō in en the ho Law nomos? How pōs do you read anaginōskō it?” ²⁷ In answer apokrinomai he ho · de said legō, “ You shall love agapaō the Lord kyrios · ho your sy God theos with ek all holos · ho your sy heart kardia, and kai with en all holos · ho your sy life psychē, and kai with en all holos · ho your sy strength ischus, and kai with en all holos · ho your sy mind dianoia, and kai · ho your sy neighbor plēsion as hōs yourself seautou.” ²⁸ Jesus said legō · de to him autos, “ You have answered apokrinomai correctly orthōs; do poieō this houtos, and kai you will live zaō.”

²⁹ But de he ho, wishing thelō to justify dikaioō himself heautou, said legō to pros · ho Jesus Iēsous, “ And kai who tis is eimi my egō neighbor plēsion?” ³⁰ Jesus Iēsous continued hypolambanō, · ho saying legō, “ A tis man anthrōpos was going katabainō down from apo Jerusalem Ierousalēm to eis Jericho Ierichō, and kai he fell among peripiptō robbers lēstēs. · kai After stripping ekdyō him autos of his clothes and kai beating plēgē epitithēmi him, they hos went aperchomai off , leaving aphiēmi him half hēmithanēs dead . ³¹ Now de by kata chance synkyria a tis priest hiereus was going katabainō down by en · ho that ekeinos way hodos and kai, when he saw him autos, he passed antiparerchomai by on the other side . ³² So homoiōs · de too kai a Levite Leuitēs, when he came erchomai to kata the ho place topos and kai saw him, passed antiparerchomai by on the other side . ³³ But de a tis Samaritan Samaritēs who was traveling hodeuō came erchomai to kata where he autos was, and kai when he saw him, was moved splanchnizomai with compassion for him. ³⁴ · kai He went proserchomai to him and bound katadeō up · ho his autos wounds trauma, pouring epicheō on oil elaion and kai wine oinos. Then de he set epibibazō him autos on epi his ho own idios animal ktēnos and brought agō him autos to eis an inn pandocheion and kai took epimeleomai care of him autos. ³⁵ · kai The ho next day aurion he took ekballō out two dyo denarii dēnarion and gave didōmi them to the ho innkeeper pandocheus, · kai saying legō, ‘ Take epimeleomai care of him autos, and kai whatever hos tis more you spend prosdapanaō, I egō will repay apodidōmi to you sy when en · ho I egō come epanerchomai back .’ ³⁶ Which tis of these houtos · ho three treis, do dokeō you sy think dokeō, became ginomai a neighbor plēsion to the ho man empiptō who fell among eis the ho robbers lēstēs?” ³⁷ He ho · de said legō, “ The ho one who showed poieō · ho mercy eleos to meta him autos.” And de Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho “ Go poreuō, and kai you sy do poieō the same homoiōs.”

³⁸ Now de as en · ho they autos continued poreuō on their way , Jesus autos entered eiserchomai eis a certain tis village kōmē, and de a tis woman gynē named onoma Martha Martha welcomed hypodechomai him autos as a guest. ³⁹ · kai She hode had eimi a sister adelphē called kaleō Mary Mariam, who hos, · kai after she had seated parakathezomai herself at pros the ho feet pous of the ho Lord kyrios, was listening akouō to · ho his autos teaching logos. ⁴⁰ · ho But de Martha Martha was distracted perispaō by peri a lot polys of preparation diakonia. She burst ephistēmi in and · de said legō, “ Lord kyrios, do you sy not ou care melei that hoti · ho my egō sister adelphē has left kataleipō me egō to do diakoneō all the work diakoneō by myself monos? Tell legō her autos then oun to hina help synantilambanomai me egō.” ⁴¹ But de in answer apokrinomai the ho Lord kyrios said legō to her autos, “ Martha Martha, Martha Martha, you are worried merimnaō and kai troubled thorybazō about peri many polys things , ⁴² but de only one heis thing is eimi necessary chreia. Mary Mariam has chosen eklegomai the ho most agathos important thing meris, which hostis will not ou be taken aphaireō away from her autos.”

11 · kai · ho Jesus autos was eimi praying proseuchomai in en a certain tis place topos, and when hōs he finished pauō one tis of ho his autos disciples mathētēs said legō to pros him autos, “ Lord kyrios, teach didaskō us hēmeis to pray proseuchomai, just kathōs as · kai John Iōannēs taught didaskō · ho his autos disciples mathētēs.” ² He said legō · de to them autos, “ When hotan you pray proseuchomai, say legō: ‘ Father patēr, may your sy name onoma be held hagiazō in honor ; · ho may your sy reign basileia begin erchomai. · ho ³ Give didōmi us hēmeis each kata day hēmera · ho our hēmeis daily epiousios bread artos; · ho · ho ⁴ and kai forgive aphiēmi us hēmeis · ho our hēmeis sins hamartia, · kai for gar we ourselves autos forgive aphiēmi everyone pas indebted opheilō to us hēmeis. And kai do not mē bring eispherō us hēmeis into eis a time of trial peirasmos.’”

⁵ · kai He said legō to pros them autos, “ Suppose one tis of ek you hymeis has echō a friend philos, and kai you go poreuō to pros him autos at midnight mesonyktion and kai say legō to him autos, ‘ Friend philos, lend kichrēmi me egō three treis loaves artos of bread , ⁶ since epeidē a friend philos of mine egō has come paraginomai to pros me egō from ek a journey hodos and kai I do not ou have echō anything hos to set paratithēmi before him autos’; ⁷ and kakeinos he from inside esōthen answers apokrinomai, saying legō, ‘ Do parechō not mē cause parechō me egō trouble kopos; already ēdē the ho door thura has been locked kleiō and kai · ho my egō children paidion are eimi with meta me egō in eis · ho bed koitē. I cannot ou get anistēmi up and give didōmi you sy anything.’ ⁸ I say legō to you hymeis, even kai though ei he will not ou get up anistēmi and give didōmi him autos anything because dia · ho he is eimi his autos friend philos, yet ge because dia of the ho prospect anaideia of being put to shame he autos will get egeirō up and give didōmi him autos as hosos much as he needs chrēzō.

⁹ “ So kagō to you hymeis I say legō, ask aiteō and kai it will be given didōmi to you hymeis; seek zēteō and kai you will find heuriskō; knock krouō and kai it will be opened anoigō for you hymeis. ¹⁰ For gar everyone pas who ho asks aiteō receives lambanō, and kai everyone who ho seeks zēteō finds heuriskō, and kai for everyone who ho knocks krouō it will be opened anoigō. ¹¹ What tis · de father patēr among ek you hymeis, · ho should his ho son hyios ask aiteō for a fish ichthus, · kai will epididōmi instead anti of a fish ichthus, give epididōmi him autos a snake ophis? ¹² Or ē · kai should he ask aiteō for an egg ōon, will give epididōmi him autos a scorpion skorpios? ¹³ If ei you hymeis then oun, who are hyparchō evil ponēros, know oida how to give didōmi good agathos gifts doma to ho your hymeis children teknon, how posos much more mallon will your ho heavenly ek Father patēr · ho give didōmi the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma to those ho who ask aiteō him autos!”

¹⁴ One kai day Jesus was eimi casting ekballō out a demon daimonion · kai that autos was eimi mute kōphos. · de When the ho demon daimonion came exerchomai out , the ho speechless man kōphos spoke laleō and kai the ho people ochlos were amazed thaumazō. ¹⁵ But de some tis of ek them autos said legō, “ By en Beelzebul Beelzeboul, the ho prince archōn of ho demons daimonion, he casts ekballō out · ho demons daimonion!” ¹⁶ Others heteros, · de to test peirazō him, kept demanding zēteō from para him autos a sign sēmeion from ek heaven ouranos. ¹⁷ But de he autos, knowing oida their autos · ho thoughts dianoēma, said legō to them autos, “ Every pas kingdom basileia divided diamerizō against epi itself heautou is laid erēmoō waste , and kai a house oikos divided against epi a house oikos falls piptō. ¹⁸ And de if ei Satan Satanas also kai · ho has been divided diamerizō against epi himself heautou, how pōs will his autos kingdom basileia stand histēmi? · ho For hoti you say legō that by en Beelzebul Beelzeboul I egō cast ekballō out · ho demons daimonion. ¹⁹ And de if ei by en Beelzebul Beelzeboul I egō cast ekballō out · ho demons daimonion, by en whom tis do · ho your hymeis sons hyios cast ekballō them out ? Therefore dia houtos they autos will be eimi your hymeis judges kritēs. ²⁰ But de if ei I egō by en the finger daktylos of God theos cast ekballō out · ho demons daimonion, then ara the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos has come phthanō upon epi you hymeis.

²¹ “ When hotan the ho strong ischuros man , fully armed kathoplizō, guards phylassō his ho own heautou palace aulē, his autos goods hyparchō are eimi secured en eirēnē; · ho ²² but de when epan one stronger ischuros than he autos attacks eperchomai him and overpowers nikaō him autos, he takes away airō · ho his autos armor panoplia in epi which hos he has placed peithō his trust and kai divides up diadidōmi · ho his autos spoil skylon.

²³ “ The ho one who is eimi not mē with meta me egō is eimi against kata me egō; and kai the ho one who does not mē gather synagō with meta me egō scatters.

²⁴ “ When hotan the ho unclean akathartos spirit pneuma departs exerchomai from apo a ho person anthrōpos, it travels dierchomai through dia waterless anydros places topos seeking zēteō rest anapausis, and kai not mē finding heuriskō one; then tote it says legō, ‘ I will return hypostrephō to eis · ho my egō house oikos from hothen which I departed exerchomai.’ ²⁵ · kai When the spirit returns erchomai, it finds heuriskō the house swept saroō and kai put kosmeō in order . ²⁶ Then tote it goes poreuō and kai takes paralambanō along seven hepta other heteros spirits pneuma more evil ponēros than itself heautou, and kai after going eiserchomai in they settle katoikeō down to live there ekei. So kai the ho last eschatos state of ho that ekeinos person anthrōpos has become ginomai worse cheirōn than the ho first prōtos.”

²⁷ · de While en · ho he autos was saying legō these houtos things , a tis woman gynē in ek the ho crowd ochlos raised epairō her voice phōnē and said legō to him autos, “ Blessed makarios is the ho womb koilia that ho carried bastazō you sy, and kai the breasts mastos that hos nursed thēlazō you !” ²⁸ But de he autos said legō, “ On the contrary menoun, blessed makarios rather are those ho who hear akouō the ho word logos of ho God theos and kai keep phylassō it!”

²⁹ As the ho · de crowds ochlos were getting epathroizō larger , Jesus began archō to say legō, · ho “ This houtos generation genea is eimi an evil ponēros generation genea; it looks for zēteō a sign sēmeion, but kai no ou sign sēmeion will be given didōmi to it autos except ei mē the ho sign sēmeion of Jonah Iōnas. ³⁰ For gar as kathōs Jonah Iōnas became ginomai a sign sēmeion to the ho people of Nineveh Nineuitēs, so houtōs the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos will be eimi · kai a sign to ho this houtos generation genea. ³¹ The queen basilissa of the South notos will rise egeirō in en the ho judgment krisis with meta the ho men anēr of ho this houtos generation genea and kai will condemn katakrinō them autos, because hoti she came erchomai from ek the ho ends peras of the ho earth gē to hear akouō the ho wisdom sophia of Solomon Solomōn, and kai behold idou, something greater polys than Solomon Solomōn is here hōde. ³² The men anēr of Nineveh Nineuitēs will rise anistēmi up in en the ho judgment krisis with meta · ho this houtos generation genea and kai condemn katakrinō it autos, because hoti they repented metanoeō at eis the ho preaching kērygma of Jonah Iōnas, and kai behold idou, something greater polys than Jonah Iōnas is here hōde.

³³ “ No oudeis one lights haptō a lamp lychnos and puts tithēmi it in eis a vault kryptē or oude under hypo a ho basket modios, but alla on epi a ho lampstand lychnia, so hina that those ho who come eisporeuomai in can see blepō the ho light phōs. ³⁴ Your sy eye ophthalmos is eimi the ho lamp lychnos of the ho body sōma. · ho When hotan · ho your sy eye ophthalmos is eimi sound haplous, then kai your sy whole holos · ho body sōma is eimi full phōteinos of light , but de when epan it is eimi diseased ponēros, then kai · ho your sy body sōma is full of darkness skoteinos. ³⁵ Therefore oun consider skopeō whether the ho ‘ light phōs’ that ho is in en you sy is eimi not mē darkness skotos. ³⁶ If ei then oun · ho your sy whole holos body sōma is full of light phōteinos, having echō no mē part meros of it tis dark skoteinos, it will be eimi wholly holos bright phōteinos, as hōs when hotan a ho lamp lychnos gives phōtizō you sy light phōtizō with its ho rays astrapē.”

³⁷ When en · de · ho Jesus finished speaking laleō, a Pharisee Pharisaios asked erōtaō him autos to hopōs have a meal aristaō with para him autos, so de he went eiserchomai in and reclined anapiptō at table . ³⁸ The ho · de Pharisee Pharisaios was surprised thaumazō when he observed that hoti Jesus did baptizō not ou wash baptizō first prōton, before pro the ho meal ariston. ³⁹ The ho Lord kyrios said legō · de to pros him autos, “ Now nyn you hymeis · ho Pharisees Pharisaios cleanse katharizō the ho outside exōthen of the ho cup potērion and kai of the ho dish pinax; but de the ho inside esōthen of you hymeis is full gemō of greed harpagē and kai wickedness ponēria. ⁴⁰ Fools aphrōn! Did not ou he ho who made poieō the ho outside exōthen make poieō the ho inside esōthen also kai? ⁴¹ Rather plēn, in connection with what ho is inside eneimi, you should give didōmi alms eleēmosynē, and kai then idou everything pas will be eimi clean katharos for you hymeis. ⁴² But alla woe ouai to you hymeis · ho Pharisees Pharisaios! For hoti you tithe apodekatoō · ho mint hēdyosmon and kai · ho rue pēganon and kai every pas kind of garden lachanon herb , yet kai disregard parerchomai · ho justice krisis and kai the ho love agapē of ho God theos. These houtos · de you should dei have done poieō, without mē neglecting pariēmi the others kakeinos. ⁴³ Woe ouai to you hymeis · ho Pharisees Pharisaios! For hoti you love agapaō the ho seat prōtokathedria of honor in en the ho synagogues synagōgē and kai · ho greetings aspasmos in en the ho marketplaces agora. ⁴⁴ Woe ouai to you hymeis! For hoti you are eimi like hōs · ho unmarked adēlos tombs mnēmeion; · ho · kai · ho people anthrōpos · ho walk peripateō over epanō them without ou realizing oida it.”
