Luke 10:9-32

⁹and heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.

¹⁰But into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

¹¹Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.

¹²I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.

¹³Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

¹⁵And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades.

¹⁶He that hears you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.

¹⁷And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.

¹⁸And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven.

¹⁹Behold, I give you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in anywise injure you.

²⁰Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.

²¹In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.

²²All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal him.

²³And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.

²⁴For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold, and did not see them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear them.

²⁵And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal?

²⁶And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself.

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

²⁹But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

³⁰And Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state.

³¹And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side;

³²and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked at him and passed on on the opposite side.
