The Gospel of Luke
Chapter 10


LUKE
Chapter 10


1 After this the Lord
appointed seventy others,
and sent them on ahead of
him, two by two, into
every town and place
where he himself was
about to come.

2 And he said to them,
"The harvest is plentiful,
but the laborers are few;
pray therefore the Lord of
the harvest to send out
laborers into his harvest.




3 Go your way; behold, I
send you out as lambs in
the midst of wolves.




4 Carry no purse, no bag,
no sandals; and salute no
one on the road.
5 Whatever house you
enter, first say, 'Peace be
to this house!'
6 And if a son of peace is
there, your peace shall rest
upon him; but if not, it
shall return to you.
7 And remain in the same
house, eating and drinking
what they provide, for the
laborer deserves his
wages; do not go from
house to house.
8 Whenever you enter a
town and they receive you,
eat what is set before you;
9 heal the sick in it and
say to them, 'The kingdom
of God has come near to
you.'
10 But whenever you
enter a town and they do
not receive you, go into its
streets and say,
11 'Even the dust of your
town that clings to our
feet, we wipe off against
you; nevertheless know
this, that the kingdom of
God has come near.'
12 I tell you, it shall be
more tolerable on that day
for Sodom than for that
town.


13 "Woe to you,
Chorazin! woe to you,
Bethsaida! for if the
mighty works done in you
had been done in Tyre and
Sidon, they would have
repented long ago, sitting
in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more
tolerable in the judgment
for Tyre and Sidon than
for you.
15 And you, Capernaum,
will you be exalted to
heaven? You shall be
brought down to Hades.









16 "He who hears you
hears me, and he who
rejects you rejects me, and
he who rejects me rejects
him who sent me."



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



18 And he said to them, "I
saw Satan fall like
lightning from heaven.

19 Behold, I have given
you authority to tread
upon serpents and
scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy; and
nothing shall hurt you.




20 Nevertheless do not
rejoice in this, that the
spirits are subject to you;
but rejoice that your names
are written in heaven."
21 In that same hour he
rejoiced in the Holy Spirit
and said, "I thank thee,
Father, Lord of heaven and
earth, that thou hast hidden
these things from the wise
and understanding and
revealed them to babes;
yea, Father, for such was
thy gracious will.
22 All things have been
delivered to me by my
Father; and no one knows
who the Son is except the
Father, or who the Father
is except the Son and any
one to whom the Son
chooses to reveal him."




23 Then turning to the
disciples he said privately,
"Blessed are the eyes
which see what you see!
24 For I tell you that
many prophets and kings
desired to see what you
see, and did not see it, and
to hear what you hear, and
did not hear it."



25 And behold, a lawyer
stood up to put him to the
test, 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?"
27 And he answered,
"You shall love the Lord
your God with all your
heart, and with all your
soul, and with all your
strength, and with all your
mind; and your neighbor
as yourself."
28 And he said to him,
"You have answered right;
do this, and you will live."













29 But he, desiring to
justify himself, said to
Jesus, "And who is my
neighbor?"
30 Jesus replied, "A man
was going down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and
he fell among robbers,
who stripped him and beat
him, and departed, leaving
him half dead.
31 Now by chance a
priest was going down that
road; and when he saw
him he passed by on the
other side.
32 So likewise a Levite,
when he came to the place
and saw him, passed by on
the other side.
33 But a Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came to where
he was; and when he saw
him, he had compassion,
34 and went to him and
bound up his wounds,
pouring on oil and wine;
then he set him on his own
beast and brought him to
an inn, and took care of
him.
35 And the next day he
took out two denarii and
gave them to the
innkeeper, saying, 'Take
care of him; and whatever
more you spend, I will
repay you when I come
back.'
36 Which of these three,
do you think, proved
neighbor to the man who
fell among the robbers?"
37 He said, "The one who
showed mercy on him."
And Jesus said to him,
"Go and do likewise."




38 Now as they went on
their way, he entered a
village; and a woman
named Martha received
him into her house.
39 And she had a sister
called Mary, who sat at the
Lord's feet and listened to
his teaching.
40 But Martha was
distracted with much
serving; and she went to
him and said, "Lord, do
you not care that my sister
has left me to serve alone?
Tell her then to help me."
41 But the Lord answered
her, "Martha, Martha, you
are anxious and troubled
about many things;
42 one thing is needful.
Mary has chosen the good
portion, which shall not be
taken away from her."






MARK




























Mark 6:8 He charged
them to take nothing for
their journey except a
staff; no bread, no bag, no
money in their belts;
Mark 6:9 but to wear
sandals and not put on two
tunics.
Mark 6:10 And he said to
them, "Where you enter a
house, stay there until you
leave the place.
Mark 6:11 And if any
place will not receive you
and they refuse to hear
you, when you leave,
shake off the dust that is
on your feet for a
testimony against them."













































Mark 9:37 "Whoever
receives one such child in
my name receives me; and
whoever receives me,
receives not me but him
who sent me."


Mark 16:17 And these
signs will accompany
those who believe: in my
name they will cast out
demons; they will speak in
new tongues;






Mark 16:18 they will pick
up serpents, and if they
drink any deadly thing, it
will not hurt them; they
will lay their hands on the
sick, and they will
recover."












































Mark 12:28 And one of
the scribes came up and
heard them disputing with
one another, and seeing
that he answered them
well, asked him, "Which
commandment is the first
of all?"
Mark 12:29 Jesus
answered, "The first is,
'Hear, O Israel: The Lord
our God, the Lord is one;
Mark 12:30 and you shall
love the Lord your God
with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and
with all your mind, and
with all your strength.'
Mark 12:31 The second is
this, 'You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.'
There is no other
commandment greater than
these."























































































MATTHEW











Matthew 9:37 Then he
said to his disciples, "The
harvest is plentiful, but the
laborers are few;
Matthew 9:38 pray
therefore the Lord of the
harvest to send out
laborers into his harvest."


Matthew 10:16 "Behold,
I send you out as sheep in
the midst of wolves; so be
wise as serpents and
innocent as doves.


Matthew 10:9 Take no
gold, nor silver, nor
copper in your belts,
Matthew 10:10 no bag for
your journey, nor two
tunics, nor sandals, nor a
staff; for the laborer
deserves his food.
Matthew 10:11 And
whatever town or village
you enter, find out who is
worthy in it, and stay with
him until you depart.
Matthew 10:12 As you
enter the house, salute it.
Matthew 10:13 And if the
house is worthy, let your
peace come upon it; but if
it is not worthy, let your
peace return to you.
Matthew 10:14 And if any
one will not receive you or
listen to your words, shake
off the dust from your feet
as you leave that house or
town.
Matthew 10:15 Truly, I
say to you, it shall be more
tolerable on the day of
judgment for the land of
Sodom and Gomorrah than
for that town.







Matthew 11:21 "Woe to
you, Chorazin! woe to
you, Bethsaida! for if the
mighty works done in you
had been done in Tyre and
Sidon, they would have
repented long ago in
sackcloth and ashes.
Matthew 11:22 But I tell
you, it shall be more
tolerable on the day of
judgment for Tyre and
Sidon than for you.
Matthew 11:23 And you,
Capernaum, will you be
exalted to heaven? You
shall be brought down to
Hades. For if the mighty
works done in you had
been done in Sodom, it
would have remained until
this day.



Matthew 10:40 "He who
receives you receives me,
and he who receives me
receives him who sent me.































Matthew 11:25 At that
time Jesus declared, "I
thank thee, Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, that thou
hast hidden these things
from the wise and
understanding and
revealed them to babes;
Matthew 11:26 yea,
Father, for such was thy
gracious will.
Matthew 11:27 All things
have been delivered to me
by my Father; and no one
knows the Son except the
Father, and no one knows
the Father except the Son
and any one to whom the
Son chooses to reveal him.



Matthew 13:16 But
blessed are your eyes, for
they see, and your ears, for
they hear.
Matthew 13:17 Truly, I
say to you, many prophets
and righteous men longed
to see what you see, and
did not see it, and to hear
what you hear, and did not
hear it.


Matthew 22:34 But
when the Pharisees heard
that he had silenced the
Sadducees, they came
together.
Matthew 22:35 And one
of them, a lawyer, asked
him a question, to test him.
Matthew 22:36 "Teacher,
which is the great
commandment in the
law?"
Matthew 22:37 And he
said to him, "You shall
love the Lord your God
with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and
with all your mind.
Matthew 22:38 This is the
great and first
commandment.
Matthew 22:39 And a
second is like it, You shall
love your neighbor as
yourself.
Matthew 22:40 On these
two commandments
depend all the law and the
prophets."
