Luke 10

¹ Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come. CCC

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. CCC

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. CCC

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. Fathers

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.

¹⁶ Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.” CCC · Fathers

¹⁷ The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” CCC

¹⁸ He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven. CCC · Fathers

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. CCC · Fathers

²⁰ Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” CCC

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.” CCC · Fathers

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.” Fathers

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.”

²⁵ Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” CCC

²⁶ He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” CCC

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; and your neighbor as yourself.” CCC

²⁸ He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.” CCC

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.’ Fathers

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.”

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 Jesus’ feet 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.”

¹ AAnd after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come. CCC

² And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest. CCC

³ Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.

⁴ Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

⁵ Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.

⁶ And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you.

⁷ And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. CCC

⁸ And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

⁹ And heal the sick that are therein and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

¹⁰ But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say:

¹¹ Even the very dust of your city that cleaveth to us, we wipe off against you. Yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.

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

¹³ Woe 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.

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

¹⁵ And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven, thou shalt be thrust down 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. CCC · Fathers

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

¹⁸ And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven. CCC · Fathers

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

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

²¹ In 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. CCC · Fathers

²² All 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. Fathers

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

²⁴ For 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.

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

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

²⁷ He 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. CCC

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

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

³⁰ And 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.

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

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

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

³⁴ And 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.

³⁵ And 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. Fathers

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

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

³⁸ Now 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.

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

⁴⁰ But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? Speak to her therefore, that she help me.

⁴¹ And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful and art troubled about many things:

⁴² But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
