- Kapitel 10 -

(Matthew 9:35–38)
1
After these thinges, the Lord appointed other seuentie also, and sent them, two and two before him into euery citie and place, whither he himselfe should come.
2
And he said vnto them, The haruest is great, but the labourers are fewe: pray therefore the Lord of the haruest to sende foorth labourers into his haruest.
3
Goe your wayes: beholde, I send you foorth as lambes among wolues.
4
Beare no bagge, neither scrippe, nor shoes, and salute no man by the way.
5
And into whatsoeuer house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6
And if the sonne of peace be there, your peace shall rest vpon him: if not, it shall turne to you againe.
7
And in that house tary still, eating and drinking such things as by them shall be set before you: for the labourer is worthy of his wages. Goe not from house to house.
8
But into whatsoeuer citie ye shall enter, if they receiue you, eate such things as are set before you,
9
And heale the sicke that are there, and say vnto them, The kingdome of God is come neere vnto you.
10
But into whatsoeuer citie ye shall enter, if they will not receiue you, goe your wayes out into the streetes of the same, and say,
11
Euen the very dust, which cleaueth on vs of your citie, we wipe off against you: notwithstanding knowe this, that the kingdome of God was come neere vnto you.
12
For I say to you, that it shall be easier in that day for them of Sodom, then for that citie.

Woe to the Unrepentant

(Matthew 11:20–24)
13
Woe be to thee, Chorazin: woe be to thee, Beth-saida: for if the miracles had bene done in Tyrus and Sidon, which haue bene done in you, they had a great while agone repented, sitting in sackecloth and ashes.
14
Therefore it shall be easier for Tyrus, and Sidon, at the iudgement, then for you.
15
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heauen, shalt be thrust downe 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.

The Joyful Return

17
And the seuentie turned againe with ioy, saying, Lord, euen the deuils are subdued to vs through thy Name.
18
And he said vnto them, I sawe Satan, like lightening, fall downe from heauen.
19
Beholde, I giue vnto you power to treade on Serpents, and Scorpions, and ouer all the power of the enemie, and nothing shall hurt you.
20
Neuerthelesse, in this reioyce not, that the spirits are subdued vnto you: but rather reioyce, because your names are written in heauen.

Jesus’ Prayer of Thanksgiving

(Matthew 11:25–30)
21
That same houre reioyced Iesus in the spirit, and said, I confesse vnto thee, Father, Lord of heauen and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and vnderstanding, and hast reueiled them to babes: euen so, Father, because it so pleased thee.
22
All things are giuen me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Sonne is, but the Father: neither who the Father is, saue the Sonne, and he to whom the Sonne will reueile him.
23
And he turned to his disciples, and said secretly, Blessed are the eyes, which see that ye see.
24
For I tell you that many Prophets and Kings haue desired to see those things, which ye see, and haue not seene them: and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25
Then beholde, a certaine Lawyer stoode vp, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I doe, to inherite eternall life?
26
And he saide vnto him, What is written in the Lawe? howe readest thou?
27
And he answered, and saide, Thou shalt loue thy Lord God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy strength, and with all thy thought, and thy neighbour as thy selfe.
28
Then he said vnto him, Thou hast answered right: this doe, and thou shalt liue.
29
But he willing to iustifie himselfe, said vnto Iesus, Who is then my neighbour?
30
And Iesus answered, and saide, A certaine man went downe from Hierusalem to Iericho, and fell among theeues, and they robbed him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leauing him halfe dead.
31
Nowe so it fell out, that there came downe a certaine Priest that same way, and when he sawe him, he passed by on the other side.
32
And likewise also a Leuite, when he was come neere to the place, went and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33
Then a certaine Samaritane, as he iourneyed, came neere vnto him, and when he sawe him, he had compassion on him,
34
And went to him, and bound vp his wounds, and powred in oyle and wine, and put him on his owne beast, and brought him to an Inne, and made prouision for him.
35
And on the morowe when he departed, he tooke out two pence, and gaue them to the hoste, and said vnto him, Take care of him, and whatsoeuer thou spendest more, when I come againe, I will recompense thee.
36
Which nowe of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour vnto him that fell among the theeues?
37
And he saide, He that shewed mercie on him. Then said Iesus vnto him, Goe, and do thou likewise.

Martha and Mary

38
Nowe it came to passe, as they went, that he entred into a certaine towne, and a certaine woman named Martha, receiued him into her house.
39
And she had a sister called Marie, which also sate at Iesus feete, and heard his preaching.
40
But Martha was combred about much seruing, and came to him, and saide, Master, doest thou not care that my sister hath left me to serue alone? bid her therefore, that she helpe me.
41
And Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Martha, Martha, thou carest, and art troubled about many things:
42
But one thing is needefull, Marie hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
(Matthew 9:35–38)
1
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him (a) into every city and place where he was about to come.
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.
3
Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4
Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5
Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
6
If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
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.
8
Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
10
But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
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.’
12
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

Woe to the Unrepentant

(Matthew 11:20–24)
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
You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. (b)
16
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

The Joyful Return

17
The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18
He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
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.
20
Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Jesus’ Prayer of Thanksgiving

(Matthew 11:25–30)
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.”
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.”
23
Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
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.”

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26
He said to him, “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, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind;(c) and your neighbor as yourself.”(d)
28
He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
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.
31
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33
But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
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.
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.’
36
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37
He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

Martha and Mary

38
As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39
She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesusfeet and heard his word.
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.”
41
Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42
but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
