- Kapitel 10 -

(Matthew 9:35–38)
1
After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two (a) others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.
2
And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.
3
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
4
Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.
5
Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
6
If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
7
Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages.(b) Do not move around from house to house.
8
If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.
9
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’
10
But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,
11
Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’
12
I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

Woe to the Unrepentant

(Matthew 11:20–24)
13
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14
But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
15
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades!
16
Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

The Joyful Return

17
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”
18
So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.
20
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Jesus’ Prayer of Thanksgiving

(Matthew 11:25–30)
21
At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
22
All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”
23
Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24
For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25
One day an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26
What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”
27
He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind(c) and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’(d)
28
You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”
29
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30
Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
31
Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32
So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
33
But when a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, he looked at him and had compassion.
34
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35
The next day he took out two denarii (e) and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’
36
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37
The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Martha and Mary

38
As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
39
She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lords feet listening to His message.
40
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”
41
Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.
42
But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”

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

Woe to the Unrepentant

(Matthew 11:20–24)
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. (b)
16
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

The Joyful Return

17
The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18
He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
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.
20
Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Jesus’ Prayer of Thanksgiving

(Matthew 11:25–30)
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.”
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.”
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.”

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26
He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
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;(c) and your neighbor as yourself.”(d)
28
He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
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.’
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.”

Martha and Mary

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 Jesusfeet 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.”
