Luke 10 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised（CSBA）

Sending Out the Seventy-Two

1After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two  others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go.

2He told them,  ‘The harvest   is abundant, but the workers   are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.  

3Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.  

4Don’t carry a money-bag,   travelling bag,   or sandals;   don’t greet anyone along the road.

5Whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace   to this household.”

6If a person of peace is there, your peace   will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

7Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages.   Don’t move from house to house.

8When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you.  

9Heal the sick   who are there, and tell them, “The kingdom of God   has come near   you.”

10When you enter any town, and they don’t welcome you, go out into its streets and say,

11“We are wiping off even the dust of your town that clings to our feet as a witness against you.   Know this for certain: The kingdom of God has come near.”

12I tell you, on that day   it will be more tolerable for Sodom   than for that town.   Unrepentant Towns

13 ‘Woe   to you,   Chorazin!   Woe to you, Bethsaida!   For if the miracles   that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon,   they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.  

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

15And you, Capernaum,   will you be exalted to heaven?   No, you will go down to Hades.  

16Whoever listens to you listens to me.   Whoever rejects you rejects me.   And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.’   The Return of the Seventy-Two

17The seventy-two  ,

returned with joy, saying,  ‘Lord, even the demons  submit to us in your name.’ 

18He said to them, ‘I watched Satan   fall from heaven like lightning.  

19Look, I have given you the authority   to trample   on snakes   and scorpions   and over all the power of the enemy;   nothing at all will harm you.  

20However, don’t rejoice that   the spirits   submit to you,   but rejoice that your names are written   in heaven.’

The Son Reveals the Father

21At that time  he  rejoiced in the Holy  Spirit  and said, ‘I praise   you, Father,   Lord of heaven and earth,   because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent   and revealed them to infants.   Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure.   ,

22All things have   been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son desires   to reveal him.’  

23Then turning to his disciples he said privately, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see!

24For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear but didn’t hear them.’   The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25Then  an expert in the law  stood up to test  him, saying, ‘Teacher,  what must I do to inherit eternal life? ’ 

26 ‘What is written in the law? ’ he asked him. ‘How do you read it? ’

27He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God   with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’   and ‘your neighbour as yourself.’   ,

28 ‘You’ve answered correctly,’ he told him. ‘Do this and you will live.’  

29But wanting to justify himself,  he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour? ’ 

30Jesus took up the question and said, ‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead.

31A priest happened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32In the same way, a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33But a Samaritan   on his journey came up to him, and when he saw the man, he had compassion.  

34He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil   and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35The next day   he took out two denarii,   gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him. When I come back I’ll reimburse you for whatever extra you spend.”

36 ‘Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers? ’

37‘The one who showed mercy  to him,’ he said.

Then Jesus told him, ‘Go and do the same.’

Martha and Mary

38While they were travelling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha  welcomed him into her home. 

39She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s  feet  and was listening to what he said. 

40But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, ‘Lord, don’t you care  that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.’  ,

41The Lord  answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things,  

42but one thing is necessary.   ,

Mary has made the right choice,   and it will not be taken away from her.’
