2Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

6If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.

7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

10But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

10But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say,

11‘The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’

11Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.'

12But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.

13“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

13"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name."

18And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

19Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

20Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

21In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

21At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

22All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”

22"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

23Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;

23Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.

24for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”

24For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."

25And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

26He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”

26"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"

27So he answered and said, “ ‘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.’ ”

27He answered, "'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.'"

28And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.”

28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."

29But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

30Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.

31Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.

32Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.

32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.

33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.

34So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.

35On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’

35The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'

36So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”

36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"

37And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."

38Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.

38As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.

39And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word.

39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said.

40But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”

40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"

41And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.

41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things,

42But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

42but few things are needed--or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
