          DASV: Luke 10    

1 After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them
two by two ahead into every town and place, where he himself
was about to go.
2 He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers
are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest, that he
send out laborers into his harvest.
3 Go, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves.
4 Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes; and greet no one on
the way.

5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to
this house.'
6 If a person of peace lives there, your peace will rest
upon them, but if not, it will return to you.
7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking whatever
they give, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Do not
move from house to house.
8 Into whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat
whatever is set before you.
9 Heal the sick there, and say to them, 'The kingdom of
God has come near to you.'
10 But into whatever town you will enter and they do not
welcome you, go out into its streets and say,
11 'Even the dust from your town, that clings to our feet,
we wipe off against you; nevertheless, know this: the
kingdom of God has come near.'
12 I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day
for Sodom, than for that town.

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.
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the
judgment, than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No,
you will be brought down to Hades.
16 He who listens to you listens to me; and he who rejects
you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him who
sent me."

17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the
demons submit to us in your
name."
18 He said to them, "I saw Satan falling like lightning
from heaven.
19 I have given you authority to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and
nothing will hurt you.
20 Nevertheless do not rejoice about this, that the
spirits are submit to you; but rather rejoice that
your names are written in heaven."

21 In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit,
and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
that you have hid these things from the wise and
understanding, and revealed them to infants, yes,
Father; for so was your gracious will.
22 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 wishes to reveal him."
23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed
are the eyes that see the things that you see.
24 For I tell to you, that many prophets and kings desired
to see the things that you see, but never saw them;
and to hear the things that you hear, but have never
heard them."

25 A certain scribe stood up and tested him, saying,
"Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?"
26 Jesus replied, "What is written in the law? How
do you read it?
27 He answered, "'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 'love
your neighbor as yourself.'"
28 Jesus said to him, "You have answered correctly.
Do this and you shall live."
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus,
"And who is my neighbor?"

30 Jesus replied, "A certain man was going down from
Jerusalem to Jericho. He was attacked by robbers,
who both stripped him and beat him, and then took off,
leaving him half dead.
31 Now by chance a priest was going down that way and
when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Similarly a Levite also, when he came to the place
and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came by where he was.
When he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 He went up to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring
olive oil and wine on them; and he set him on his own
animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 On the next day he took out two silver coins, and gave
them to the innkeeper, and said, 'Take care of him,
and whatever you spend more, when I come back again,
I will repay you."
36 Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to
him who fell among the robbers?"
37 He said, "He who had mercy on him." Jesus said to him,
"Go, and do the same."

38 Now as they went on their way, he entered into a
certain village and a woman named Martha welcomed him
into her house.
39 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the
Lord's feet, and listened to his word.
40 But Martha was distracted by the dinner preparations;
and she came up to him, and complained, "Lord, do you not
care that my sister left me to serve all by myself?
Now tell her to help me."
41 But the Lord answered, "Martha, Martha, you are
anxious and distracted by many things,
42 but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the better
part, which will never be taken away from her."
