1 After these things, the Lord appointed another seventy also and sent them by twos before Him into every city and place He was planning to visit.
2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is
great, but the laborers are few: therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest, that He
would send forth laborers into His harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you out as
lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor
shoes: and salute no man on your way.
5 Into whatsoever house you enter, first
say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
6 And if the son of peace is there, your
peace will rest on it: if not, it will turn to you again.
7 Remain in the same house, eating and
drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Do
not go from house to house.
8 Whenever you enter a city, and they
receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 Heal the sick that are therein, and say to
them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near you.’
10 But into whatever city you enter, and
they do not receive you, go out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 ‘Even the very dust of your city, which
cleaves on us, we wipe off against you: notwithstanding, be sure of this, that
the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
12 I say to you, that it will be more
tolerable in that day for Burning (Sodom), than for that city.
13 Woe to you, Furnace of Smoke (Chorazin)!
Woe to you, House of Fish (Bethsaida)! for if the mighty works had been done in
A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon), which have been done in you, they would
have repented a great while ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it will be more tolerable for A Rock
(Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon) at the judgment, than for you.
15 And you, Village of Comfort (Capernaum),
who are exalted to heaven, will be thrust down to hell.
16 He that hears you hears Me; and he that despises
you despises Me; and he that despises Me despises Him who sent Me.”
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord,
even the devils are subject to us through Your name.”
18 And He said to them, “I beheld Adversary
(Satan) as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give you power to tread on
serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing will
by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding, do not rejoice that the
spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written
in heaven.”
21 In that hour I AM is Our Salvation
(Yeshua) rejoiced in spirit, and said, “I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven
and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have
revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Your sight.
22 All things are delivered to Me by My
Father: and no man knows 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 to his disciples, and said
privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see:
24 For I tell you, many prophets and kings
have desired to see those things which you see and have not seen them; and to
hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.”
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up,
and tested Him, saying, “Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) asked him, “What is written in the
law? How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “You will 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 your neighbor as yourself.”
28 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) confirmed
him, “You
have answered right: this do, and you will live.
29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to
I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), “And who is my neighbor?”
30 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered, “A certain man went
down from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) to Its Moon (Jericho), and fell among
thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving
him half dead.
31 By chance, a certain priest came by that
way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Joined To (Levite), when
he was at the place, came and looked at him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Watch Mountainian
(Samaritan), as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had
compassion on him.
34 He 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 the next day, when he departed, he
took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said to him, “Take care of
him; and whatever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you.”
36 Which of these three do you think was a
neighbor to him that fell among the thieves?”
37 He answered, “He that shewed mercy on him.”
Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him, “Go, and do likewise.”
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that He
entered a certain village: and a woman named She Was Rebellious (Martha)
received Him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Rebellion
(Mary), who also sat at I AM is Our Salvation's (Yeshua’s) feet, and heard His
word.
40 But She Was Rebellious (Martha) was
cumbered about much serving, and came to Him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care
that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me.”
41 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered
her, “She
Was Rebellious (Martha), She Was Rebellious (Martha), you are careful and
troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: Rebellion
(Mary) has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
