Luke 10:13-32

¹³A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.

¹⁴But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.

¹⁵And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell.

¹⁶Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me.

¹⁷And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.

¹⁸And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star.

¹⁹See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.

²⁰Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.

²¹In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.

²²All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

²³And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:

²⁴For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

²⁵And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

²⁶And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?

²⁷And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.

²⁸And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.

²⁹But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

³⁰And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.

³¹And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.

³²And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.
