Jesus Sends the Seventy-Two

(Matthew 9:35–38)

AfterG3326 thisG3778, theG3588 LordG2962 appointedG322 seventy-twoG1440G14171 othersG2087 andG2532 sentG649 themG846 two by twoG303G1417 ahead of HimG4253G846G4383 toG1519 everyG3956 townG4172 andG2532 placeG5117G3739 HeG846 was aboutG3195 to visitG2064. 2AndG1161 He toldG2036G4314 themG846, “TheG3588 harvestG2326 is plentifulG4183, butG1161 theG3588 workersG2040 are fewG3641. AskG1189 theG3588 LordG2962 of theG3588 harvestG2326, thereforeG3767, toG3704 send outG1544 workersG2040 intoG1519 HisG846 harvestG2326.

3GoG5217G2400! I am sending you outG649G4771 likeG5613 lambsG704 amongG1722G3319 wolvesG3074. 4CarryG941 noG3361 purseG905 or bagG4082 or sandalsG5266. Do not greetG782 anyone alongG2596 theG3588 roadG3598.

WhateverG3739G302 houseG3614 you enterG1525G1519, beginG4412 by sayingG3004, ‘PeaceG1515 to thisG3778 houseG3624.’ 6IfG1437 a manG5207 of peaceG1515 isG1510 thereG1563, yourG4771 peaceG1515 will restG1879 onG1909 himG846; ifG1487 notG1490, it will returnG344 toG1909 youG4771. 7StayG3306 atG1722 the sameG846 houseG3614, eatingG2068 andG2532 drinkingG4095 whatever you areG3588G3844G846 offered. ForG1063 theG3588 workerG2040 is worthyG514 ofG3588 hisG846 wagesG3408.2 Do notG3361 move aroundG3327 fromG1537 houseG3614 toG1519 houseG3614.

8

If you enterG1525G1519 aG3739 townG4172 andG2532 they welcomeG1209 youG4771, eatG2068 whateverG3588 is set beforeG3908 youG4771. 9HealG2323 theG3588 sickG772 who are there andG2532 tellG3004 themG846, ‘TheG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is nearG1448 youG4771.’

10ButG1161 if you enterG1525G1519 aG3739G302 townG4172 andG2532 they do not welcomeG3361G1209 youG4771, goG1831 intoG1519 theG3588 streetsG4113 and declareG2036, 11‘EvenG2532 theG3588 dustG2868 ofG1537 yourG4771 townG4172 thatG3588 clingsG2853 toG1519 ourG1473 feetG4228, we wipe off as a testimonyG631 against youG4771. YetG4133 be sureG1097 of thisG3778: TheG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is nearG1448.’ 12I tellG3004 youG4771, it will beG1510 more bearableG414 onG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250 for SodomG4670 thanG2228 for thatG1565 townG4172.

Woe to the Unrepentant

(Matthew 11:20–24)

13WoeG3759 to youG4771, ChorazinG5523! WoeG3759 to youG4771, BethsaidaG966! ForG3754 ifG1487 theG3588 miraclesG1411 that were performedG1096 inG1722 youG4771 had been performedG1096 inG1722 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, they would have repentedG3340 long agoG3819, sittingG2521 inG1722 sackclothG4526 andG2532 ashesG4700. 14ButG4133 it will beG1510 more bearableG414 for TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605 atG1722 theG3588 judgmentG2920 thanG2228 for youG4771.

15AndG2532 youG4771, CapernaumG2584, will you be lifted upG5312 toG2193 heavenG3772? NoG3361, you will be brought downG2597 toG2193 HadesG86!

16WhoeverG3588 listensG191 to youG4771 listensG191 to MeG1473; whoeverG3588 rejectsG114 youG4771 rejectsG114 MeG1473; andG1161 whoeverG3588 rejectsG114 MeG1473 rejectsG114 theG3588 One who sentG649 MeG1473.”

The Joyful Return

TheG3588 seventy-twoG1440G1417 returnedG5290 withG3326 joyG5479 and saidG3004, “LordG2962, evenG2532 theG3588 demonsG1140 submitG5293 to usG1473 inG1722 YourG4771 nameG3686.”

18SoG1161 He toldG2036 themG846, “I sawG2334 SatanG4567 fallG4098 likeG5613 lightningG796 fromG1537 heavenG3772. 19BeholdG2400, I have givenG1325 youG4771 authorityG1849 to treadG3961 onG1883 snakesG3789 andG2532 scorpionsG4651, andG2532 overG1909 allG3956 theG3588 powerG1411 of theG3588 enemyG2190. NothingG3762G3756G3361 will harmG91 youG4771. 20NeverthelessG4133, do notG3361 rejoiceG5463 thatG1722G3778G3754 theG3588 spiritsG4151 submitG5293 to youG4771, butG1161 rejoiceG5463 thatG3754 yourG4771 namesG3686 are writtenG1449 inG1722 heavenG3772.”

Jesus’ Prayer of Thanksgiving

(Matthew 11:25–30)

21AtG1722 thatG846 timeG5610 Jesus rejoicedG21 inG1722 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 andG2532 declaredG2036, “I praiseG1843 YouG4771, FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, becauseG3754 You have hiddenG613 these thingsG3778 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 learnedG4908, andG2532 revealedG601 themG846 to little childrenG3516. YesG3483, FatherG3962, forG3754 thisG3779 wasG1096 well-pleasingG2107 in Your sightG1715G4771.

22All thingsG3956 have been entrustedG3860 to MeG1473 byG5259 MyG1473 FatherG3962. No oneG3762 knowsG1097 whoG5101 theG3588 SonG5207 isG1510 exceptG1487G3361 theG3588 FatherG3962, andG2532 no one knows whoG5101 theG3588 FatherG3962 isG1510 exceptG1487G3361 theG3588 SonG5207 andG2532 those to whomG3739 theG3588 SonG5207 choosesG1014 to revealG601 Him.”

23ThenG2532 Jesus turnedG4762 toG4314 theG3588 disciplesG3101 and saidG2036 privatelyG2596G2398, “BlessedG3107 are theG3588 eyesG3788 thatG3588 seeG991 whatG3739 you seeG991. 24ForG1063 I tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 kingsG935 desiredG2309 to seeG3708 whatG3739 youG4771 seeG991 but did not seeG3756G3708 it, andG2532 to hearG191 whatG3739 you hearG191 but did not hearG3756G191 it.”

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25One dayG2532G2400 anG5100 expert in the lawG3544 stood upG450 to testG1598 HimG846. “TeacherG1320,” he askedG3004, “whatG5101 must I doG4160 to inheritG2816 eternalG166 lifeG2222?”

26“WhatG5101 is writtenG1125 inG1722 theG3588 LawG3551?” Jesus repliedG2036. “HowG4459 do you readG314 it?”

27

He answeredG611G2036, “‘LoveG25 the LordG2962 yourG4771 GodG2316 withG1537 allG3650 yourG4771 heartG2588 andG2532 withG1722 allG3650 yourG4771 soulG5590 andG2532 withG1722 allG3650 yourG4771 strengthG2479 andG2532 withG1722 allG3650 yourG4771 mindG1271’3 andG2532 ‘Love yourG4771 neighborG4139 asG5613 yourselfG4572.’4”

28“You have answeredG611 correctlyG3723,” Jesus saidG2036G846. “DoG4160 thisG3778 andG2532 you will liveG2198.”

29ButG1161 wantingG2309 to justifyG1344 himselfG1438, he askedG2036 JesusG2424, “AndG2532 whoG5101 isG1510 myG1473 neighborG4139?”

30

JesusG2424 took upG5274 this question andG1161 saidG2036, “AG5100 manG444 was going downG2597 fromG575 JerusalemG2419 toG1519 JerichoG2410 whenG2532 he fell into the handsG4045 of robbersG3027. They strippedG1562 him, beatG2007G4127 himG846, and went awayG565, leavingG863 him half deadG2253.

31NowG1161 byG2596 chanceG4795 aG5100 priestG2409 was going downG2597G1722 the sameG1565 roadG3598, butG2532 when he sawG3708 himG846, he passed by on the other sideG492.

32

So tooG3668, when a LeviteG3019 cameG1096G2064 toG2596 thatG3588 spotG5117 andG2532 sawG3708 him, he passed by on the other sideG492.

33ButG1161 aG5100 SamaritanG4541 on a journeyG3593 cameG2064 uponG2596 himG846, and whenG2532 he sawG3708 him, he had compassionG4697. 34He went toG4334 him and bandagedG2611 hisG846 woundsG5134, pouring onG2022 oilG1637 andG2532 wineG3631. ThenG1161 he putG1913 himG846 onG1909 his ownG2398 animalG2934, broughtG71 himG846 toG1519 an innG3829, andG2532 took careG1959 of himG846.

35

TheG3588 next dayG839 he took outG1544 twoG1417 denariiG12205 and gaveG1325 them to theG3588 innkeeperG3830. ‘Take careG1959 of himG846,’ he saidG2036, ‘andG2532 onG1722 myG1473 returnG1880 IG1473 will repayG591 youG4771 for any additionalG3739G5100G302 expenseG4325.’

36WhichG5101 of theseG3778 threeG5140 do youG4771 thinkG1380 wasG1096 a neighborG4139 to theG3588 man who fell into the handsG1706 ofG1519 robbersG3027?”

37“TheG3588 one who showedG4160G3326 himG846 mercyG1656,” repliedG2036 the expert in the law.

ThenG1161 JesusG2424 toldG2036 himG846, “GoG4198 andG2532 doG4160 likewiseG3668.”

Martha and Mary

38AsG1161G1722 theyG846 traveled alongG4198, Jesus enteredG1525G1519 aG5100 villageG2968 where aG5100 womanG1135 namedG3686 MarthaG3136 welcomedG5264 HimG846 intoG1519 her homeG3614. 39SheG3592 hadG1510 a sisterG79 namedG2564 MaryG3137, whoG3739 satG3869 atG4314 theG3588 Lord’sG3588G2962 feetG4228 listening toG191 HisG846 messageG3056. 40ButG1161 MarthaG3136 was distractedG4049 by all theG4012G4183 preparationsG1248 to be made. She came toG2186 Jesus and saidG2036, “LordG2962, do You not careG3756G3199G4771 thatG3754 myG1473 sisterG79 has leftG2641 meG1473 to serveG1247 aloneG3441? TellG2036 herG846 toG2443 helpG4878 meG1473!”

41“MarthaG3136, MarthaG3136,” theG3588 LordG2962 repliedG611, “you are worriedG3309 andG2532 upsetG2350 aboutG4012 many thingsG4183. 42ButG1161 onlyG2228 oneG1520 thingG3641 isG1510 necessaryG5532. MaryG3137 has chosenG1586 theG3588 goodG18 portionG3310, and it will not be taken away fromG3756G851 herG846.”
