Luke 10
WEB·Luke 10
1Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.
KJVG1161 AfterG3326 these thingsG5023 the LordG2962 appointedG322(G5656) otherG2087 seventyG1440 alsoG2532, andG2532 sentG649(G5656) themG846 twoG303 and twoG1417 beforeG4253 hisG846 faceG4383 intoG1519 everyG3956 cityG4172 andG2532 placeG5117, whitherG3757(G5625)G3739 he himselfG846 wouldG3195(G5707) comeG2064(G5738).
2 Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
KJVThereforeG3767 said heG3004(G5707) untoG4314 themG846, The harvestG2326 trulyG3303 is greatG4183, butG1161 the labourersG2040 are fewG3641: pray yeG1189(G5676) thereforeG3767 the LordG2962 of the harvestG2326, thatG3704 he would send forthG1544(G5725) labourersG2040 intoG1519 hisG846 harvestG2326.
3 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
KJVGo your waysG5217(G5720): beholdG2400(G5628), IG1473 sendG649 youG5209 forthG649(G5719) asG5613 lambsG704 amongG1722G3319 wolvesG3074.
4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
KJVCarryG941(G5720) neitherG3361 purseG905, norG3361 scripG4082, norG3366 shoesG5266: andG2532 saluteG782(G5667) no manG3367 byG2596 the wayG3598.
5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
KJVAndG1161 intoG1519 whatsoeverG3739G302 houseG3614 ye enterG1525(G5741), firstG4412 sayG3004(G5720), PeaceG1515 be to thisG5129 houseG3624.
6 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
KJVAndG2532 ifG1437G3303 the sonG5207 of peaceG1515 beG5600(G5753) thereG1563, yourG5216 peaceG1515 shall restG1879(G5695) uponG1909 itG846: if notG1490, it shall turnG344 toG1909 youG5209 againG344(G5692).
7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.
KJVAndG1161 inG1722 the sameG846 houseG3614 remainG3306(G5720), eatingG2068(G5723) andG2532 drinkingG4095(G5723) such things asG3844 theyG846 giveG3844: forG1063 the labourerG2040 isG2076(G5748) worthyG514 of hisG846 hireG3408. GoG3327(G5720) notG3361 fromG1537 houseG3614 toG1519 houseG3614.
8 Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
KJVAndG2532 intoG1519 whatsoeverG1161G3739G302 cityG4172 ye enterG1525(G5741), andG2532 they receiveG1209(G5741) youG5209, eat such thingsG2068(G5720) as are set beforeG3908(G5746) youG5213:
9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
KJVAndG2532 healG2323(G5720) the sickG772 that are thereinG1722G846, andG2532 sayG3004(G5720) unto themG846, The kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is come nighG1448(G5758) untoG1909 youG5209.
10 But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
KJVButG1161 intoG1519 whatsoeverG3739G302 cityG4172 ye enterG1525(G5741), andG2532 they receiveG1209(G5741) youG5209 notG3361, go your ways outG1831(G5631) intoG1519 the streetsG4113 of the sameG846, and sayG2036(G5628),
11 ‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
KJVEvenG2532 the very dustG2868 ofG1537 yourG5216 cityG4172, whichG3588 cleavethG2853(G5685) on usG2254, we do wipe offG631(G5731) against youG5213: notwithstandingG4133 be ye sureG1097(G5720) of thisG5124, thatG3754 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is come nighG1448(G5758) untoG1909 youG5209.
12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
KJVButG1161 I sayG3004(G5719) unto youG5213, thatG3754 it shall beG2071(G5704) more tolerableG414 inG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250 for SodomG4670, thanG2228 for thatG1565 cityG4172.
13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
KJVWoeG3759 unto theeG4671, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 unto theeG4671, BethsaidaG966! forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411 had been doneG1096(G5633) inG1722 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, whichG3588 have been doneG1096(G5637) inG1722 youG5213, they hadG3340 a great while agoG3819 repentedG3340(G5656), sittingG2521(G5740) inG302G1722 sackclothG4526 andG2532 ashesG4700.
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
KJVButG4133 it shall beG2071(G5704) more tolerableG414 for TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605 atG1722 the judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for youG5213.
15 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.
KJVAndG2532 thouG4771, CapernaumG2584, whichG3588 art exaltedG5312(G5685) toG2193 heavenG3772, shalt be thrust downG2601(G5701) toG2193 hellG86.
16 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
KJVHe that hearethG191(G5723) youG5216 hearethG191(G5719) meG1700; andG2532 he that despisethG114(G5723) youG5209 despisethG114(G5719) meG1691; andG1161 he that despisethG114(G5723) meG1691 despisethG114(G5719) him that sentG649(G5660) meG3165.
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
KJVAndG1161 the seventyG1440 returned againG5290(G5656) withG3326 joyG5479, sayingG3004(G5723), LordG2962, evenG2532 the devilsG1140 are subjectG5293(G5743) unto usG2254 throughG1722 thyG4675 nameG3686.
18 He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
KJVAndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, I beheldG2334(G5707) SatanG4567 asG5613 lightningG796 fallG4098(G5631) fromG1537 heavenG3772.
19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
KJVBeholdG2400(G5628), I giveG1325(G5719) unto youG5213 powerG1849 to treadG3961(G5721) onG1883 serpentsG3789 andG2532 scorpionsG4651, andG2532 overG1909 allG3956 the powerG1411 of the enemyG2190: andG2532 nothingG3762 shallG91 by any meansG3364 hurtG91(G5661)(G5625)G91(G5692) youG5209.
20 Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
KJVNotwithstandingG4133 inG1722 thisG5129 rejoiceG5463(G5720) notG3361, thatG3754 the spiritsG4151 are subjectG5293(G5743) unto youG5213; butG1161 ratherG3123 rejoiceG5463(G5720), becauseG3754 yourG5216 namesG3686 are writtenG1125(G5648) inG1722 heavenG3772.
21 In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
KJVInG1722 thatG846 hourG5610 JesusG2424 rejoiced inG21(G5662) spiritG4151, andG2532 saidG2036(G5627), I thankG1843(G5731) theeG4671, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, thatG3754 thou hast hidG613(G5656) these thingsG5023 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601(G5656) themG846 unto babesG3516: even soG3483, FatherG3962; forG3754 soG3779 it seemedG1096(G5633) goodG2107 inG1715 thyG4675 sightG1715.
22 Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”
KJVAll thingsG3956 are deliveredG3860(G5681) to meG3427 ofG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962: andG2532 no manG3762 knowethG1097(G5719) whoG5101 the SonG5207 isG2076(G5748), butG1508 the FatherG3962; andG2532 whoG5101 the FatherG3962 isG2076(G5748), butG1508 the SonG5207, andG2532 he to whomG3739G1437 the SonG5207 willG1014(G5741) revealG601(G5658) him.
23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
KJVAndG2532 he turned himG4762(G5651) untoG4314 his disciplesG3101, and saidG2036(G5627) privatelyG2398G2596, BlessedG3107 are the eyesG3788 whichG3588 seeG991(G5723) the things thatG3739 ye seeG991(G5719):
24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
KJVForG1063 I tellG3004(G5719) youG5213, thatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 kingsG935 have desiredG2309(G5656) to seeG1492(G5629) those things whichG3739 yeG5210 seeG991(G5719), andG2532 haveG1492 notG3756 seenG1492(G5627) them; andG2532 to hearG191(G5658) those things whichG3739 ye hearG191(G5719), andG2532 haveG191 notG3756 heardG191(G5656) them.
25 Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
KJVAndG2532, beholdG2400(G5628), a certainG5100 lawyerG3544 stood upG450(G5627), andG2532 temptedG1598(G5723) himG846, sayingG3004(G5723), MasterG1320, whatG5101 shall I doG4160(G5660) to inheritG2816(G5692) eternalG166 lifeG2222?
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
KJVG1161 He saidG2036(G5627) untoG4314 himG846, WhatG5101 is writtenG1125(G5769) inG1722 the lawG3551? howG4459 readest thouG314(G5719)?
27 He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
KJVAndG1161 he answeringG611(G5679) saidG2036(G5627), Thou shalt loveG25(G5692) the LordG2962 thyG4675 GodG2316 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4675 heartG2588, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4675 soulG5590, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4675 strengthG2479, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4675 mindG1271; andG2532 thyG4675 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG4572.
28 He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
KJVAndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) unto himG846, Thou hast answeredG611(G5662) rightG3723: thisG5124 doG4160(G5720), andG2532 thou shalt liveG2198(G5692).
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
KJVButG1161 he, willingG2309(G5723) to justifyG1344(G5721) himselfG1438, saidG2036(G5627) untoG4314 JesusG2424, AndG2532 whoG5101 isG2076(G5748) myG3450 neighbourG4139?
30 Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
KJVAndG1161 JesusG2424 answeringG5274(G5631) saidG2036(G5627), A certainG5100 manG444 went downG2597(G5707) fromG575 JerusalemG2419 toG1519 JerichoG2410, andG2532 fell amongG4045(G5627) thievesG3027, whichG3739G2532 strippedG1562 himG846 of his raimentG1562(G5660), andG2532 woundedG4127G2007(G5631) him, and departedG565(G5627), leavingG863(G5631) him half deadG2253G5177(G5723).
31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
KJVAndG1161 byG2596 chanceG4795 there came downG2597(G5707) a certainG5100 priestG2409 thatG1722G1565 wayG3598: andG2532 when he sawG1492(G5631) himG846, he passed by on the other sideG492(G5627).
32 In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
KJVAndG1161 likewiseG3668G2532 a LeviteG3019, when he wasG1096(G5637) atG2596 the placeG5117, cameG2064(G5631) andG2532 lookedG1492(G5631) on him, and passed by on the other sideG492(G5627).
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
KJVButG1161 a certainG5100 SamaritanG4541, as he journeyedG3593(G5723), cameG2064(G5627) whereG2596 he wasG846: andG2532 when he sawG1492(G5631) himG846, he had compassionG4697(G5675) on him,
34 came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
KJVAndG2532 wentG4334(G5631) to him, and bound upG2611(G5656) hisG846 woundsG5134, pouring inG2022(G5723) oilG1637 andG2532 wineG3631, andG1161 setG1913(G5660) himG846 onG1909 his ownG2398 beastG2934, and broughtG71(G5627) himG846 toG1519 an innG3829, andG2532 took careG1959(G5675) of himG846.
35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’
KJVAndG2532 onG1909 the morrowG839 when he departedG1831(G5631), he took outG1544(G5631) twoG1417 penceG1220, and gaveG1325(G5656) them to the hostG3830, andG2532 saidG2036(G5627) unto himG846, Take careG1959(G5682) of himG846; andG2532 whatsoeverG3748G302 thou spendest moreG4325(G5661), when IG3165 come againG1722G1880(G5738), IG1473 will repayG591(G5692) theeG4671.
36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
KJVWhichG5101 nowG3767 of theseG5130 threeG5140, thinkestG1380(G5719) thouG4671, wasG1096(G5755) neighbourG4139 unto him that fellG1706(G5631) amongG1519 the thievesG3027?
37 He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
KJVAndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627), He that shewedG4160(G5660) mercyG1656 onG3326 himG846. ThenG3767 saidG2036(G5627) JesusG2424 unto himG846, GoG4198(G5737), andG2532 doG4160(G5720) thouG4771 likewiseG3668.
38 As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
KJVNowG1161 it came to passG1096(G5633), asG1722 theyG846 wentG4198(G5738), thatG2532 heG846 enteredG1525(G5627) intoG1519 a certainG5100 villageG2968: andG1161 a certainG5100 womanG1135 namedG3686 MarthaG3136 receivedG5264(G5662) himG846 intoG1519 herG846 houseG3624.
39 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.
KJVAndG2532 sheG3592 hadG2258(G5713) a sisterG79 calledG2564(G5746) MaryG3137, whichG3739 alsoG2532 satG3869(G5660) atG3844 JesusG2424' feetG4228, and heardG191(G5707) hisG846 wordG3056.
40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”
KJVButG1161 MarthaG3136 was cumberedG4049(G5712) aboutG4012 muchG4183 servingG1248, andG1161 came to himG2186(G5631), and saidG2036(G5627), LordG2962, dostG3199 thouG4671 notG3756 careG3199(G5719) thatG3754 myG3450 sisterG79 hath leftG2641(G5627) meG3165 to serveG1247(G5721) aloneG3441? bidG2036(G5628) herG846 thereforeG3767 thatG2443 she helpG4878(G5638) meG3427.
41 Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
KJVAndG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611(G5679) and saidG2036(G5627) unto herG846, MarthaG3136, MarthaG3136, thou art carefulG3309(G5719) andG2532 troubledG5182(G5743) aboutG4012 many thingsG4183:
42 but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
KJVButG1161 one thingG1520 isG2076(G5748) needfulG5532: andG1161 MaryG3137 hath chosenG1586(G5668) that goodG18 partG3310, whichG3748 shallG851 notG3756 be taken awayG851(G5701) fromG575 herG846.
