Luke 10

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two
1After this the Lord appointed 72 others and sent them out two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2He told them, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest field. 3Go! I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4Don’t take a purse or a bag or sandals, and don’t stop to greet anyone on the road.
5“When you enter a house, first say, ‘May this house be blessed with peace.’ 6If a peacemaker lives there, your blessing of peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7Stay there and eat and drink whatever they give you, because workers are worthy of their pay. Don’t move around from house to house.
8“If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat what they give you. 9Heal the sick who are there and tell everyone, ‘God’s kingdom has come near you.’ 10But if you enter a town and they don’t welcome you, go into its streets and say, 11‘We wipe even the dust of your town from our feet! We do this to warn you, and here is what you can be sure of: God’s kingdom has come near.’ 12I tell you this: On judgment day, it will be better for Sodom than for that town.
13“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, long ago they would have turned away from their sins. They would have put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re mourning, and they would have sat down in ashes. 14On judgment day it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be lifted up to the heavens? No! You will go down to the place of the dead.
16“Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever does not accept you does not accept me. But whoever does not accept me does not accept the one who sent me.”
17The 72 returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we speak in your name!”
18Jesus answered, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19I’ve given you authority to stomp on snakes and scorpions, to destroy all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. 20But don’t be glad because the evil spirits obey you; instead, be glad that your names are written in heaven.”
21At that time Jesus was filled with joy through the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you’ve hidden these things from wise and educated people and shown them to little children. Yes, Father, this is what you wanted to do.
22“My Father has given all things to me. No one knows who the Son is except for the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except for the Son and anyone the Son chooses to make the Father known to.”
23Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said to them privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24I tell you, many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. They wanted to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.”
The Story of the Good Samaritan
25One day an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to have eternal life?”
26“What is written in the Law?” Jesus answered. “How do you understand it?”
27He replied, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind,’ and, ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ”
28“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do that, and you will live.”
29But the man wanted to prove himself right, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30Jesus responded, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when robbers attacked him, stripped him of his clothes, and beat him. Then they went away, leaving him almost dead. 31A priest happened to be going down that same road, but when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32A Levite also came by, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side too. 33But a Samaritan came to the place where the man was, and when he saw him, he felt compassion for him. 34He went over to him and poured olive oil and wine on his wounds and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and brought him to an inn, and there he took care of him. 35The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the owner of the inn. ‘Take care of this man,’ he told him. ‘When I return, I’ll pay you for any extra expenses this doesn’t cover.’
36“Which of the three,” Jesus asked, “do you think was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by the robbers?”
37The expert in the law replied, “The one who took care of him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do as he did.”
Jesus at the Home of Martha and Mary
38As Jesus was on his way with his disciples, he came to a certain village, and there a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40Martha, meanwhile, was busy with all the entertaining. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are anxious and upset about many things, 42but few things are needed—actually, only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
