Luke 10:17-42

17

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.”

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.”

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 mindG1271’1 andG2532 ‘Love yourG4771 neighborG4139 asG5613 yourselfG4572.’2”

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 denariiG12203 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.”

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.”
