Luke 9:51–14:35
Christian Standard Bible
51 When the days were coming to a close for him to be taken up,e he determined* f to journey to Jerusalem.g 52 He sent messengers ahead of himself,h and on the way they entered a village of the Samaritansi to make preparations for him. 53 But they did not welcome him, because he determined to journey to Jerusalem.j 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”C,k
55 But he turned and rebuked them,* 56 and they went to another village.
57 As they were traveling on the road someone said to him,l “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” 59 Then he said to another, “Follow me.”
“Lord,” he said, “first let me go bury my father.”
60 But he told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.”m
61 Another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me go and say good-bye to those at my house.”n
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
10 After this, the Lord appointed seventy-twoE others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 He told them,o “The harvestp is abundant, but the workersq are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.r 3 Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.s 4 Don’t carry a money-bag,t traveling bag,u or sandals;v don’t greet anyone along the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peacew to this household.’ 6 If a person of peace is there, your peacex will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7 Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages.y Don’t move from house to house. 8 When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you.z 9 Heal the sickaa who are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of Godab has come nearac you.’ 10 When 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.ad Know this for certain: The kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, on that dayae it will be more tolerable for Sodomaf than for that town.ag
13 “Woeah to you,ai Chorazin!aj Woe to you, Bethsaida!ak For if the miraclesal that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon,am they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.an 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgmentao than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum,ap will you be exalted to heaven?aq No, you will go down to Hades.ar 16 Whoever listens to you listens to me.as Whoever rejects you rejects me.at And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”au
17 The seventy-twoF,av returned with joy, saying,aw “Lord, even the demonsax submit to us in your name.”ay
18 He said to them, “I watched Satanaz fall from heaven like lightning.ba 19 Look, I have given you the authoritybb to tramplebc on snakesbd and scorpionsbe and over all the power of the enemy;bf nothing at all will harm you.bg 20 However, don’t rejoice thatG the spiritsbh submit to you,bi but rejoice that your names are writtenbj in heaven.”
21 At that timea heA rejoiced in the HolyB Spiritb and said, “I praiseC you, Father,c Lord of heaven and earth,d because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligente and revealed them to infants.f Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure.D,g 22 All things haveE 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 desiresF to reveal him.”h
23 Then turning to his disciples he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see! 24 For 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.”i
THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN
25 Thenj an expert in the lawk stood up to testl him, saying, “Teacher,m what must I do to inherit eternal life?”n
26 “What is written in the law?” he asked him. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “Love the Lord your Godo with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,”p and “your neighbor as yourself.”G,q
28 “You’ve answered correctly,” he told him. “Do this and you will live.”r
29 But wanting to justify himself,s he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”t
30 Jesus 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. 31 A priest happened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 In the same way, a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritanu on his journey came up to him, and when he saw the man, he had compassion.v 34 He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oilw and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 The next dayH he took out two denarii, Igave 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 neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”
37 “The one who showed mercyx to him,” he said.
Then Jesus told him, “Go and do the same.”
38 While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Marthay welcomed him into her home.J 39 She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’sK feetz and was listening to what he said.L 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t you careaa that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.”M,ab
41 The LordA answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things,ac 42 but one thing is necessary.N,ad Mary has made the right choice,O and it will not be taken away from her.”
11 He was prayingae in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”af
2 He said to them, “Whenever you pray, say,ag
your nameai be honored as holy.aj
3 Give us each day our daily bread.R,al
4 And forgive us our sins,am
for we ourselves also forgive everyone
And do not bring us into temptation.”T,ao
5 He also said to them, “Suppose one of youU has a friend and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6 because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I don’t have anything to offer him.’ 7 Then he will answer from inside and say, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I have gone to bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he won’t get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his friend’s shameless boldness,A he will get up and give him as much as he needs.a
9 “Sob I say to you, ask,c and it will be given to you. Seek,d and you will find. Knock,e and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his sonB asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil,f know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Fatherg give the Holy Spirith to those who ask him?”
14 Nowi he was driving out a demonj that was mute.k When the demon came out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were amazed. 15 But some of them said, “He drives out demons by Beelzebul,l the rulerm of the demons.”n 16 And others, as a test,o were demanding of him a signp from heaven.
17 Knowing their thoughts,q he told them, “Every kingdom dividedr against itself is headed for destruction, and a house divided against itself falls. 18 If Satans also is divided against himself, how will his kingdomt stand? For you say I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sonsu drive them out? For this reason they will be your judges. 20 If I drive out demons by the finger of God,v then the kingdom of Godw has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his estate, his possessions are secure. 22 But when one stronger than he attacks and overpowersx him, he takes from him all his weapons* y he trustedz in, and divides up his plunder.aa 23 Anyone who is not with me is against me,ab and anyone who does not gather with me scatters.
24 “Whenac an unclean spiritad comes out of a person, it roams through waterless places looking for rest,ae and not finding rest, it thenD says, ‘I’ll go back to my house that I came from.’ 25 Returning, it finds the house swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spiritsaf more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that person’s last condition is worse than the first.”ag
27 As he was saying these things, a woman from the crowdah raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the one who nursed you!”ai
28 He said, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of Godaj and keep it.”ak
29 As the crowds were increasing, he began saying, “This generational is an evil generation.am It demands a sign,an but no …
