Jesús envía a los setenta y dos

10 Después de esto, el Señor escogió también a otros setenta y dos, y los mandó de dos en dos delante de él, a todos los pueblos y lugares a donde tenía que ir.

Les dijo: «Ciertamente la cosecha es mucha, pero los trabajadores son pocos. Por eso, pidan ustedes al Dueño de la cosecha que mande trabajadores a recogerla. Vayan ustedes; miren que los envío como corderos en medio de lobos. No lleven dinero ni provisiones ni sandalias; y no se detengan a saludar a nadie en el camino. Cuando entren en una casa, saluden primero, diciendo: “Paz a esta casa.” Y si allí hay gente de paz, su deseo de paz se cumplirá; pero si no, ustedes nada perderán. Quédense en la misma casa, y coman y beban de lo que ellos tengan, pues el trabajador tiene derecho a su paga. No anden de casa en casa. Al llegar a un pueblo donde los reciban, coman lo que les sirvan; sanen a los enfermos que haya allí, y díganles: “El reino de Dios ya está cerca de ustedes.” 10 Pero si llegan a un pueblo y no los reciben, salgan a las calles diciendo: 11 “¡Hasta el polvo de su pueblo, que se ha pegado a nuestros pies, lo sacudimos como protesta contra ustedes! Pero sepan esto, que el reino de Dios ya está cerca de ustedes.” 12 Les digo que en aquel día el castigo para ese pueblo será peor que para la gente de Sodoma.

Reproches contra las ciudades incrédulas(A)

13 »¡Ay de ti, Corazín! ¡Ay de ti, Betsaida! Porque si en Tiro y Sidón se hubieran hecho los milagros que se han hecho entre ustedes, ya hace tiempo que se habrían vuelto a Dios, cubiertos de ropas ásperas y sentados en ceniza. 14 Pero en el día del juicio el castigo para ustedes será peor que para la gente de Tiro y Sidón. 15 Y tú, Cafarnaúm, ¿crees que serás levantado hasta el cielo? ¡Bajarás hasta lo más hondo del abismo!

16 »El que los escucha a ustedes, me escucha a mí; y el que los rechaza a ustedes, me rechaza a mí; y el que me rechaza a mí, rechaza al que me envió.»

Regreso de los setenta y dos

17 Los setenta y dos regresaron muy contentos, diciendo:

—¡Señor, hasta los demonios nos obedecen en tu nombre!

18 Jesús les dijo:

—Sí, pues yo vi que Satanás caía del cielo como un rayo. 19 Yo les he dado poder a ustedes para caminar sobre serpientes y alacranes, y para vencer toda la fuerza del enemigo, sin sufrir ningún daño. 20 Pero no se alegren de que los espíritus los obedezcan, sino de que sus nombres ya están escritos en el cielo.

Sólo el Hijo sabe quién es el Padre(B)

21 En aquel momento, Jesús, lleno de alegría por el Espíritu Santo, dijo: «Te alabo, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque has mostrado a los sencillos las cosas que escondiste de los sabios y entendidos. Sí, Padre, porque así lo has querido.

22 »Mi Padre me ha entregado todas las cosas. Nadie sabe quién es el Hijo, sino el Padre; y nadie sabe quién es el Padre, sino el Hijo y aquellos a quienes el Hijo quiera darlo a conocer.»

23 Volviéndose a los discípulos, les dijo a ellos solos: «Dichosos quienes vean lo que ustedes están viendo; 24 porque les digo que muchos profetas y reyes quisieron ver esto que ustedes ven, y no lo vieron; quisieron oír esto que ustedes oyen, y no lo oyeron.»

Parábola del buen samaritano

25 Un maestro de la ley fue a hablar con Jesús, y para ponerlo a prueba le preguntó:

—Maestro, ¿qué debo hacer para alcanzar la vida eterna?

26 Jesús le contestó:

—¿Qué está escrito en la ley? ¿Qué es lo que lees?

27 El maestro de la ley contestó:

—“Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con todas tus fuerzas y con toda tu mente”; y, “ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.”

28 Jesús le dijo:

—Has contestado bien. Si haces eso, tendrás la vida.

29 Pero el maestro de la ley, queriendo justificar su pregunta, dijo a Jesús:

—¿Y quién es mi prójimo?

30 Jesús entonces le contestó:

—Un hombre iba por el camino de Jerusalén a Jericó, y unos bandidos lo asaltaron y le quitaron hasta la ropa; lo golpearon y se fueron, dejándolo medio muerto. 31 Por casualidad, un sacerdote pasaba por el mismo camino; pero al verlo, dio un rodeo y siguió adelante. 32 También un levita llegó a aquel lugar, y cuando lo vio, dio un rodeo y siguió adelante. 33 Pero un hombre de Samaria que viajaba por el mismo camino, al verlo, sintió compasión. 34 Se acercó a él, le curó las heridas con aceite y vino, y le puso vendas. Luego lo subió en su propia cabalgadura, lo llevó a un alojamiento y lo cuidó. 35 Al día siguiente, el samaritano sacó el equivalente al salario de dos días, se lo dio al dueño del alojamiento y le dijo: “Cuide a este hombre, y si gasta usted algo más, yo se lo pagaré cuando vuelva.” 36 Pues bien, ¿cuál de esos tres te parece que se hizo prójimo del hombre asaltado por los bandidos?

37 El maestro de la ley contestó:

—El que tuvo compasión de él.

Jesús le dijo:

—Pues ve y haz tú lo mismo.

Jesús en casa de Marta y María

38 Jesús siguió su camino y llegó a una aldea, donde una mujer llamada Marta lo hospedó. 39 Marta tenía una hermana llamada María, la cual se sentó a los pies de Jesús para escuchar lo que él decía. 40 Pero Marta, que estaba atareada con sus muchos quehaceres, se acercó a Jesús y le dijo:

—Señor, ¿no te preocupa nada que mi hermana me deje sola con todo el trabajo? Dile que me ayude.

41 Pero Jesús le contestó:

—Marta, Marta, estás preocupada y te inquietas por demasiadas cosas, 42 pero sólo una cosa es necesaria. María ha escogido la mejor parte, y nadie se la va a quitar.

10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

27 And 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 thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall 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. (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. Go your way; (E)behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. (F)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and (G)greet no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first say, (H)‘Peace be to this house!’ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, (I)it will return to you. 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. Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 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.”
