Luke 10:13-39

¹³Woe 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.

¹⁴But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgement, than for you.

¹⁵And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven, thou shalt be thrust down to hell.

¹⁶He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.

¹⁷And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name.

¹⁸And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightening falling from heaven.

¹⁹Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you.

²⁰But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.

²¹In 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.

²²All 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.

²³And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see.

²⁴For 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.

²⁵And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?

²⁶But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷He 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.

²⁸And he said to him: Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

²⁹But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour?

³⁰And 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.

³¹And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.

³²In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.

³³But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion.

³⁴And 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.

³⁵And 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.

³⁶Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?

³⁷But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.

³⁸Now 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.

³⁹And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting also at the Lord’s feet, heard his word.
