The Living Word

1

After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

WhatsApp Copy

3

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

WhatsApp Copy

4

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

WhatsApp Copy

5

And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

WhatsApp Copy

6

And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

WhatsApp Copy

7

And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

WhatsApp Copy

8

And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

WhatsApp Copy

9

And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

WhatsApp Copy

10

But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

WhatsApp Copy

11

Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

WhatsApp Copy

12

But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

WhatsApp Copy

13

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

WhatsApp Copy

14

But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

WhatsApp Copy

15

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

WhatsApp Copy

16

He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

WhatsApp Copy

17

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

WhatsApp Copy

18

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

WhatsApp Copy

19

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

WhatsApp Copy

20

Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

WhatsApp Copy

21

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

WhatsApp Copy

22

All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

WhatsApp Copy

23

And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

WhatsApp Copy

24

For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

WhatsApp Copy

25

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

WhatsApp Copy

26

He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

WhatsApp Copy

27

And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

WhatsApp Copy

28

And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

WhatsApp Copy

29

But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

WhatsApp Copy

30

And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

WhatsApp Copy

31

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

WhatsApp Copy

32

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

WhatsApp Copy

33

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

WhatsApp Copy

34

And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

WhatsApp Copy

35

And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

WhatsApp Copy

36

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

WhatsApp Copy

37

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

WhatsApp Copy

38

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

WhatsApp Copy

39

And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

WhatsApp Copy

40

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

WhatsApp Copy

41

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

WhatsApp Copy

42

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
