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.”
About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
