1 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come.
2 And he said to them, The harvest indeed {is} great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest.
3 Go: behold *I* send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.
4 Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house.
6 And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if not it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you,
9 and heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 Even 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.
12 I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.
13 Woe 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.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
15 And *thou*, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades.
16 He that hears you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.
17 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.
18 And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven.
19 Behold, 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.
20 Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.
21 In 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.
22 All 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}.
23 And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.
24 For 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}.
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal?
26 And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 But 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.
28 And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live.
29 But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And 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.
31 And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side;
32 and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked {at him} and passed on on the opposite side.
33 But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing {him}, was moved with compassion,
34 and came up {to him} and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to {the} inn and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow {as he left}, taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, *I* will render to thee on my coming back.
36 Which {now} of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into {the hands of} the robbers?
37 And he said, He that shewed him mercy. And Jesus said to him, Go, and do *thou* likewise.
38 And it came to pass as they went that *he* entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word.
40 Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me.
41 But Jesus answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things;
42 but there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her.
1 这些事以后， 主又另外指派了七十二个人（"七十二个人"有些抄本作"七十个人"）， 差遣他们两个两个地， 在他前面， 到他自己将要到的各城各地去。
2 耶稣对他们说： "庄稼多， 工人少， 所以你们应当求庄稼的主， 派工人出去收他的庄稼。
3 你们去吧！ 我差你们去， 如同羊羔进入狼群。
4 不要带钱囊， 不要带口袋， 不要带鞋， 不要在路上问候人。
5 无论进哪一家， 先说： ‘愿平安归与这家！ ’
6 那里若有配得平安的人（"配得平安的人"原文作"平安之子"）， 你们的平安就必临到他， 不然， 就归给你们。
7 你们要住在那家， 吃喝他们所供给的， 因为作工的理当得工资； 不必从这家搬到那家。
8 无论进哪一城， 人若接待你们， 摆上什么， 就吃什么。
9 要医治城中的病人， 对他们宣讲： ‘ 神的国临近你们了。’
10 无论进哪一城， 人若不接待你们， 你们就出来到街上， 说：
11 ‘连你们城里那粘在我们脚上的尘土， 我们也要当着你们擦去。虽然这样， 你们应该知道： 神的国临近了！ ’
12 我告诉你们， 当那日， 所多玛所受的， 比那城所受的还轻呢。
13 "哥拉逊啊， 你有祸了！ 伯赛大啊， 你有祸了！ 因为在你们那里行过的神迹， 如果行在推罗和西顿， 他们早已披麻蒙灰， 坐在地上悔改了。
14 在审判的时候， 推罗和西顿所受的， 比你们所受的还轻呢。
15 还有你， 迦百农啊！ 你会被高举到天上吗？你必降到阴间。
16 听从你们的， 就是听从我； 弃绝你们的， 就是弃绝我； 弃绝我的， 就是弃绝那差我来的。"
17 那七十二个人欢欢喜喜地回来， 说： "主啊， 因你的名， 连鬼也服了我们。"
18 耶稣说： "我看见撒但， 像闪电一样从天坠落。
19 我已经给你们权柄， 去践踏蛇和蝎子， 胜过仇敌的一切能力。绝对没有什么能伤害你们了。
20 然而不要因为鬼服了你们就欢喜， 却要因为你们的名字记录在天上而欢喜。"
21 就在这时候， 耶稣因圣灵而欢乐， 说： "父啊， 天地的主， 我赞美你， 因为你把这些事向智慧和聪明的人隐藏起来， 却向婴孩显明。父啊， 是的， 这就是你的美意。
22 我父已经把一切交给我； 除了父没有人知道子是谁， 除了子和子所愿意启示的人， 也没有人知道父是谁。"
23 耶稣转过身来， 悄悄地对门徒说： "看见你们所看见的， 那眼睛有福了！
24 我告诉你们， 曾经有许多先知和君王， 想看你们所看见的， 却没有看到； 想听你们所听见的， 却没有听到。"
25 有一个律法师起来试探耶稣， 说： "老师， 我应该作什么， 才可以承受永生呢？"
26 耶稣对他说： "律法上写的是什么？你怎么念的呢？"
27 他回答： "你要全心、全性、全力、全意爱主你的 神， 并且要爱邻舍如同自己。"
28 耶稣说： "你答得对， 你这样行， 就必得生命。"
29 那人想证明自己有理， 就对耶稣说： "谁是我的邻舍呢？"
30 耶稣回答： "有一个人从耶路撒冷下耶利哥去， 落在强盗手中。他们剥去他的衣服， 把他打得半死， 撇下他一个人就走了。
31 正好有一个祭司， 从那条路下来， 看见他， 就从旁边走过去了。
32 又有一个利未人， 来到那里， 看见他， 也照样从旁边走过去了。
33 只有一个撒玛利亚人， 旅行来到他那里， 看见了， 就动了怜悯的心，
34 上前用油和酒倒在他的伤处， 包裹好了， 把他扶上自己的牲口， 带他到客店里照顾他。
35 第二天， 他拿出两个银币交给店主， 说： ‘请你照顾他， 额外的开支， 我回来的时候必还给你。’
36 你想， 这三个人， 谁是那个落在强盗手中的人的邻舍呢？"
37 他说： "是那怜悯他的。"耶稣说： "你去， 照样作吧。"
38 他们走路的时候， 耶稣进了一个村庄。有一个名叫马大的女人， 接他到家里。
39 她有一个妹妹， 名叫马利亚， 坐在主的脚前听道。
40 马大被许多要作的事， 弄得心烦意乱， 就上前来， 说： "主啊， 我妹妹让我一个人侍候， 你不理吗？请吩咐她来帮助我。"
41 主回答她： "马大， 马大， 你为许多事操心忙碌，
42 但是最需要的只有一件， 马利亚已经选择了那上好的分， 是不能从她夺去的。"
