1After this the Lord appointed a further seventy-two and sent them on ahead in pairs to every town and place he himself intended to visit.
2He said to them: “The crop is heavy, but the labourers are few. Ask the owner therefore to send labourers to bring in the harvest.
3Be on your way; I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
4Carry no purse or pack, and travel barefoot. Exchange no greetings on the road.
5When you go into a house, let your first words be, ‘Peace to this house.’
6If there is a man of peace there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
7Stay in that house, sharing their food and drink; for the worker deserves his pay. Do not move around from house to house.
8When you enter a town and you are made welcome, eat the food provided for you;
9heal the sick there, and say, ‘The kingdom of God has come upon you.’
10But when you enter a town and you are not made welcome, go out into its streets and say,
11‘The very dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off to your shame. Only take note of this: the kingdom of God has come.’
12I tell you, on the day of judgement the fate of Sodom will be more bearable than the fate of that town.
13“Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! If the miracles performed in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgement than for you.
15As for you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades!
16“Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the One who sent me.”
17The seventy-two came back jubilant. “In your name, Lord,” they said, “even the demons submit to us.”
18He replied, “I saw Satan fall, like lightning, from heaven.
19And I have given you the power to tread underfoot snakes and scorpions and all the forces of the enemy. Nothing will ever harm you.
20Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but that your names are enrolled in heaven.”
21At that moment Jesus exulted in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and wise, and revealing them to the simple. Yes, Father, such was your choice.
22Everything is entrusted to me by my Father; no one knows who the Son is but the Father, or who the Father is but the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23When he was alone with his disciples he turned to them and said, “Happy the eyes that see what you are seeing!
24I tell you, many prophets and kings wished to see what you now see, yet never saw it; to hear what you hear, yet never heard it.”
25A LAWYER once came forward to test him by asking: “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26Jesus said, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
27He replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.”
28“That is the right answer,” said Jesus; “do that and you will have life.”
29Wanting to justify his question, he asked, “But who is my neighbour?”
30Jesus replied, “A man was on his way from Jerusalem down to Jericho when he was set upon by robbers, who stripped and beat him, and went off leaving him half dead.
31It so happened that a priest was going down by the same road, and when he saw him, he went past on the other side.
32So too a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him went past on the other side.
33But a Samaritan who was going that way came upon him, and when he saw him he was moved to pity.
34He went up and bandaged his wounds, bathing them with oil and wine. Then he lifted him on to his own beast, brought him to an inn, and looked after him.
35Next day he produced two silver pieces and gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Look after him; and if you spend more, I will repay you on my way back.’
36Which of these three do you think was neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”
37He answered, “The one who showed him kindness.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do as he did.”
38While they were on their way Jesus came to a village where a woman named Martha made him welcome.
39She had a sister, Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and stayed there listening to his words.
40Now Martha was distracted by her many tasks, so she came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to get on with the work by myself? Tell her to come and give me a hand.”
41But the Lord answered, “Martha, Martha, you are fretting and fussing about so many things;
42only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen what is best; it shall not be taken away from her.”
