10:13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! 16 Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if 17 the miracles 18 done in you had been done in Tyre 19 and Sidon, 20 they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 10:14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you! 10:15 And you, Capernaum, 21 will you be exalted to heaven? 22 No, you will be thrown down to Hades! 23
10:16 “The one who listens 24 to you listens to me, 25 and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects 26 the one who sent me.” 27
10:17 Then 28 the seventy-two 29 returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons submit to 30 us in your name!” 31 10:18 So 32 he said to them, “I saw 33 Satan fall 34 like lightning 35 from heaven. 10:19 Look, I have given you authority to tread 36 on snakes and scorpions 37 and on the full force of the enemy, 38 and nothing will 39 hurt you. 10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that 40 the spirits submit to you, but rejoice 41 that your names stand written 42 in heaven.”
10:21 On that same occasion 43 Jesus 44 rejoiced 45 in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise 46 you, Father, Lord 47 of heaven and earth, because 48 you have hidden these things from the wise 49 and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will. 50 10:22 All things have been given to me by my Father. 51 No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides 52 to reveal him.”
10:23 Then 53 Jesus 54 turned 55 to his 56 disciples and said privately, “Blessed 57 are the eyes that see what you see! 10:24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings longed to see 58 what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
10:25 Now 59 an expert in religious law 60 stood up to test Jesus, 61 saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 62 10:26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you understand it?” 63 10:27 The expert 64 answered, “Love 65 the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, 66 and love your neighbor as yourself.” 67 10:28 Jesus 68 said to him, “You have answered correctly; 69 do this, and you will live.”
10:29 But the expert, 70 wanting to justify 71 himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 10:30 Jesus replied, 72 “A man was going down 73 from Jerusalem 74 to Jericho, 75 and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat 76 him up, and went off, leaving him half dead. 77 10:31 Now by chance 78 a priest was going down that road, but 79 when he saw the injured man 80 he passed by 81 on the other side. 82 10:32 So too a Levite, when he came up to 83 the place and saw him, 84 passed by on the other side. 10:33 But 85 a Samaritan 86 who was traveling 87 came to where the injured man 88 was, and when he saw him, he felt compassion for him. 89 10:34 He 90 went up to him 91 and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil 92 and wine on them. Then 93 he put him on 94 his own animal, 95 brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 10:35 The 96 next day he took out two silver coins 97 and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever else you spend, I will repay you when I come back this way.’ 98 10:36 Which of these three do you think became a neighbor 99 to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” 10:37 The expert in religious law 100 said, “The one who showed mercy 101 to him.” So 102 Jesus said to him, “Go and do 103 the same.”
10:38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus 104 entered a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him as a guest. 105 10:39 She 106 had a sister named Mary, who sat 107 at the Lord’s feet 108 and listened to what he said. 10:40 But Martha was distracted 109 with all the preparations she had to make, 110 so 111 she came up to him and said, “Lord, don’t you care 112 that my sister has left me to do all the work 113 alone? Tell 114 her to help me.” 10:41 But the Lord 115 answered her, 116 “Martha, Martha, 117 you are worried and troubled 118 about many things, 10:42 but one thing 119 is needed. Mary has chosen the best 120 part; it will not be taken away from her.”
