After
these things the Lord appointed other seventy
also, and sent them two and two before his face
into every city and place, whither he himself
would come.
02 Therefore said he unto them, The
harvest truly is great, but the labourers are
few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he would send forth labourers into his
harvest.
03 Go your ways: behold, I
send you forth as lambs among wolves.
04 Carry neither purse, nor
scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
05 And into whatsoever
house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this
house.
06 And if the son of peace
be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not,
it shall turn to you again.
07 And in the same house
remain, eating and drinking such things as they
give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go
not from house to house.
08 And into whatsoever city
ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things
as are set before you:
09 And heal the sick that
are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of
God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city
ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways
out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of
your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off
against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this,
that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that
it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom,
than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin!
woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works
had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been
done in you, they had a great while ago repented,
sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment,
than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum,
which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down
to hell.
16 He that heareth you
heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth
me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that
sent me.
17 And the seventy returned again
with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are
subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld
Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you
power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy: and nothing
shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the
spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice,
because your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in
spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid
these things from the wise and prudent, and hast
revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so
it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered
to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the
Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is,
but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal
him.

23 And he turned him unto his
disciples, and said privately, Blessed
are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
24 For I tell you, that
many prophets and kings have desired to see those
things which ye see, and have not seen them; and
to hear those things which ye hear, and have not
heard them.
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer
stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what
shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the
law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as
thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou
hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt
live.
29 But he, willing to justify
himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A
certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his
raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving
him half dead.
31 And by chance there came
down a certain priest that way: and when he saw
him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite,
when he was at the place, came and looked on him,
and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan,
as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he
saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and
bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and
set him on his own beast, and brought him to an
inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when
he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them
to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him;
and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come
again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these
three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that
fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed
mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and
do thou likewise.
38 Now it came to pass, as they
went, that he entered into a certain village: and
a certain woman named Martha received him into
her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also
sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving,
and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not
care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?
bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha,
Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many
things:
42 But one thing is
needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her.
