Lucas 10
La Biblia de las Américas
Jesús envía a los setenta
10 Después de esto, el Señor(A) designó a otros setenta[a], y los envió de dos en dos(B) delante de Él(C), a toda ciudad y lugar adonde Él había de ir. 2 Y les decía: La mies es mucha, pero los obreros pocos; rogad, por tanto, al Señor de la mies que envíe obreros a su mies(D). 3 Id; mirad que os envío como corderos en medio de lobos(E). 4 (F)No llevéis bolsa, ni alforja[b], ni sandalias; y a nadie saludéis por el camino. 5 En cualquier casa que entréis, decid primero: «Paz a esta casa». 6 Y si hay allí un hijo de paz, vuestra paz reposará sobre él; pero si no, se volverá a vosotros. 7 Permaneced entonces en esa casa[c], comiendo y bebiendo lo que os den[d]; porque el obrero es digno de su salario(G). No os paséis de casa en casa. 8 En cualquier ciudad donde entréis y os reciban, comed lo que os sirvan(H); 9 sanad a los enfermos que haya en ella, y decidles: «Se ha acercado a vosotros el reino de Dios(I)». 10 Pero en cualquier ciudad donde entréis, y no os reciban, salid a sus calles, y decid: 11 «Hasta el polvo de vuestra ciudad que se pega a nuestros pies, nos lo sacudimos en protesta contra vosotros(J); empero sabed esto: que el reino de Dios se ha acercado(K)». 12 Os digo que en aquel día será más tolerable el castigo para Sodoma que para aquella ciudad(L). 13 ¡(M)Ay de ti Corazín! ¡Ay de ti Betsaida! Porque si los milagros[e] que se hicieron en vosotras hubieran sido hechos en Tiro y Sidón, hace tiempo que se hubieran arrepentido sentados en cilicio y ceniza(N). 14 Por eso, en el juicio será más tolerable el castigo para Tiro y Sidón(O) que para vosotras. 15 Y tú, Capernaúm(P), ¿acaso serás elevada hasta los cielos? ¡Hasta el Hades[f] serás hundida(Q)! 16 El que a vosotros escucha, a mí me escucha(R), y el que a vosotros rechaza, a mí me rechaza; y el que a mí me rechaza, rechaza al que me envió(S).
Regreso de los setenta
17 Los setenta[g] regresaron con gozo, diciendo: Señor, hasta los demonios se nos sujetan en tu nombre(T). 18 Y Él les dijo: Yo veía a Satanás(U) caer del cielo como un rayo. 19 Mirad, os he dado autoridad para hollar sobre serpientes(V) y escorpiones, y sobre todo el poder del enemigo, y nada os hará daño. 20 Sin embargo, no os regocijéis en esto, de que los espíritus se os sometan, sino regocijaos de que vuestros nombres están escritos en los cielos(W).
Jesús se regocija
21 (X)En aquella misma hora Él se regocijó mucho en el Espíritu Santo, y dijo: Te alabo, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque ocultaste estas cosas a sabios y a inteligentes, y las revelaste a niños. Sí, Padre, porque así fue de tu agrado. 22 Todas las cosas me han sido entregadas(Y) por mi Padre, y nadie sabe quién es el Hijo sino el Padre, ni quién es el Padre sino el Hijo(Z), y aquel a quien el Hijo se lo quiera revelar. 23 (AA)Y volviéndose hacia los discípulos, les dijo aparte: Dichosos los ojos que ven lo que vosotros veis; 24 porque os digo que muchos profetas y reyes desearon ver lo que vosotros veis, y no lo vieron, y oír lo que vosotros oís, y no lo oyeron.
Pregunta sobre la vida eterna
25 (AB)Y he aquí, cierto intérprete de la ley[h] se levantó, y para ponerle[i] a prueba(AC) dijo: Maestro, ¿qué haré para heredar la vida eterna? 26 Y Él le dijo: ¿Qué está escrito en la ley? ¿Qué[j] lees en ella? 27 Respondiendo él, dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma, y con toda tu fuerza, y con toda tu mente; y a tu prójimo como a ti mismo(AD). 28 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Has respondido correctamente; haz esto y vivirás(AE). 29 Pero queriendo él justificarse a sí mismo(AF), dijo a Jesús: ¿Y quién es mi prójimo?
Parábola del buen samaritano
30 Respondiendo Jesús, dijo: Cierto hombre bajaba de Jerusalén(AG) a Jericó, y cayó en manos de salteadores, los cuales después de despojarlo y de darle golpes, se fueron, dejándolo medio muerto. 31 Por casualidad cierto sacerdote bajaba por aquel camino, y cuando lo vio, pasó por el otro lado del camino. 32 Del mismo modo, también un levita, cuando llegó al lugar y lo vio, pasó por el otro lado del camino. 33 Pero cierto samaritano(AH), que iba de viaje, llegó adonde él estaba; y cuando lo vio, tuvo compasión, 34 y acercándose, le vendó sus heridas, derramando aceite y vino sobre ellas; y poniéndolo sobre su propia cabalgadura, lo llevó a un mesón y lo cuidó. 35 Al día siguiente, sacando dos denarios[k], se los dio al mesonero, y dijo: «Cuídalo, y todo lo demás que gastes, cuando yo regrese te lo pagaré». 36 ¿Cuál de estos tres piensas tú que demostró ser prójimo del que cayó en manos de los salteadores? 37 Y él dijo: El que tuvo misericordia de él. Y Jesús le dijo: Ve y haz tú lo mismo.
Jesús visita a Marta y a María
38 Mientras iban ellos de camino, Él entró en cierta aldea; y una mujer llamada Marta(AI) le recibió en su casa. 39 Y ella tenía una hermana que se llamaba María(AJ), que[l] sentada a los pies del Señor, escuchaba su palabra(AK). 40 Pero Marta(AL) se preocupaba con todos los preparativos[m]; y acercándose a Él, le dijo: Señor, ¿no te importa que mi hermana me deje servir sola? Dile, pues, que me ayude. 41 Respondiendo el Señor, le dijo: Marta, Marta(AM), tú estás preocupada y molesta por tantas cosas(AN); 42 pero una sola cosa es necesaria[n](AO), y[o] María(AP) ha escogido la parte buena, la cual no le será quitada.

The Seventy Sent Out
10 After these things the Lord appointed [a]seventy others also, and (A)sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. 2 Then He said to them, (B)“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore (C)pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3 Go your way; (D)behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 4 (E)Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and (F)greet no one along the road. 5 (G)But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. 7 (H)And remain in the same house, (I)eating and drinking such things as they give, for (J)the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9 (K)And heal the sick there, and say to them, (L)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11 (M)‘The very dust of your city which clings to [b]us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’ 12 [c]But I say to you that (N)it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.
Woe to the Impenitent Cities(O)
13 (P)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! (Q)For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 (R)And you, Capernaum, [d]who are (S)exalted to heaven, (T)will be brought down to Hades. 16 (U)He who hears you hears Me, (V)he who rejects you rejects Me, and (W)he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”
The Seventy Return with Joy
17 Then (X)the [e]seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
18 And He said to them, (Y)“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, (Z)I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but [f]rather rejoice because (AA)your names are written in heaven.”
Jesus Rejoices in the Spirit(AB)
21 (AC)In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22 (AD)All[g] things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and (AE)no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
23 Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, (AF)“Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; 24 for I tell you (AG)that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”
The Parable of the Good Samaritan(AH)
25 And behold, a certain [h]lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, (AI)“Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
27 So he answered and said, (AJ)“ ‘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 (AK)‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and (AL)you will live.”
29 But he, wanting to (AM)justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among [i]thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, (AN)he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain (AO)Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had (AP)compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, [j]when he departed, he took out two (AQ)denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”
37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.”
Then Jesus said to him, (AR)“Go and do likewise.”
Mary and Martha Worship and Serve
38 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named (AS)Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, (AT)who also (AU)sat at [k]Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
41 And [l]Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But (AV)one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two
10 After this the Lord appointed (A)seventy-two[a] others and (B)sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 (C)And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. (D)Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; (E)behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 (F)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and (G)greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, (H)‘Peace be to this house!’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, (I)it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for (J)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, (K)‘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 (L)‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that (M)the kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, (N)it will be more bearable on (O)that day for Sodom than for that town.
Woe to Unrepentant Cities
13 (P)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in (Q)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 (R)But it will be more bearable in the judgment for (S)Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, (T)will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to (U)Hades.
16 (V)“The one who hears you hears me, and (W)the one who rejects you rejects me, and (X)the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
The Return of the Seventy-Two
17 (Y)The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, (Z)even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18 And he said to them, (AA)“I saw Satan (AB)fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority (AC)to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of (AD)the enemy, and (AE)nothing shall hurt you. 20 (AF)Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that (AG)your names are written in heaven.”
Jesus Rejoices in the Father's Will
21 (AH)In that same hour (AI)he rejoiced (AJ)in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, (AK)Lord of heaven and earth, that (AL)you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and (AM)revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for (AN)such was your gracious will.[b] 22 (AO)All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is (AP)except the Father, or who the Father is (AQ)except the Son and anyone (AR)to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23 Then turning to the disciples he said privately, (AS)“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 24 For I tell you (AT)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.”
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 (AU)And behold, a (AV)lawyer stood up to (AW)put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to (AX)inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, (AY)“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 (AZ)your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; (BA)do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, (BB)desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man (BC)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 (BD)priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise (BE)a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a (BF)Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and (BG)bound up his wounds, pouring on (BH)oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two (BI)denarii[c] 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 to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
Martha and Mary
38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus[d] entered a village. And a woman named (BJ)Martha (BK)welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called (BL)Mary, who (BM)sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up 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 (BN)anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary.[e] Mary has chosen (BO)the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
