Luke 10:9-32

⁹and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.

¹⁰'And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,

¹¹And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;

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

¹³'Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;

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

¹⁵'And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.

¹⁶'He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'

¹⁷And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, 'Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;'

¹⁸and he said to them, 'I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;

¹⁹lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;

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

²¹In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, 'I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.

²²'All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.'

²³And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, 'Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;

²⁴for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.'

²⁵And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, 'Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'

²⁶And he said unto him, 'In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?'

²⁷And he answering said, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'

²⁸And he said to him, 'Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'

²⁹And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, 'And who is my neighbour?'

³⁰and Jesus having taken up the word, said, 'A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving him half dead.

³¹'And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;

³²and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.
