CHAPTER 10.
1 AND after these things the Lord appointed also other
seventy-two: and he sent them two and two before his face into every city and
place whither he himself was to come.
2 And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but
the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send
labourers into his harvest.
3 Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute
no man by the way.
5 Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be
to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall
rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.
7 And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking
such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not
from house to house.
8 And into what city soever you enter, and they receive
you, eat such things as are set before you.
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them:
The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive
you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say:
11 Even the very dust of your city that cleaveth to us,
we wipe off against you. Yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.
12 I say to you, it shall be more tolerable at that day
for Sodom, than for that city.
13 Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida. For
if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the mighty works that have been wrought
in you, they would have done penance long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at
the judgement, than for you.
15 And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven,
thou 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-two returned with joy, saying: Lord,
the devils also are subject to us in thy name.
18 And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightening
falling from heaven.
19 Behold, I have given you power to tread upon
serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall
hurt you.
20 But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are
subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.
21 In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost,
and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou
hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to
little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no
one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son,
and to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are
the eyes that see the things which you see.
24 For I say to you, that many prophets and kings have
desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the
things that you hear, and have not heard them.
25 And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him,
and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?
26 But he said to him: What is written in the law? how
readest thou?
27 He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said to him: Thou hast answered right: this
do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus:
And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down
from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and
having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
31 And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the
same way: and seeing him, passed by.
32 In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the
place and saw him, passed by.
33 But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came
near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion.
34 And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in
oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and
took care of him.
35 And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to
the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and
above, I, at my return, will repay thee.
36 Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour
to him that fell among the robbers?
37 But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus
said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.
38 Now it came to pass as they went, that he entered
into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her
house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting also
at the Lord's feet, heard his word.
40 But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood
and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve?
speak to her therefore, that she help me.
41 And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha,
thou art careful, and art troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the
best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
