10:1
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.
10:2
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.
10:3
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
(10:4-9) Jesus' instructions to his disciples: Take no money or shoes and don't say hello to
anyone that you pass by. Enter each house and eat whatever they feed you. Stay there; don't go from house to house.
Heal the sick and say the kingdom of heaven is here.
(10:15) "And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell."
(10:16) "He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me;
and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me." If you don't like what Pat Robertson says (or any other Christian), then you
don't like Jesus, and if you don't like Jesus, you don't like God.
(10:17-23) The disciples return and report back to Jesus. They brag about having
power over devils. Jesus sees Satan fall from heaven and gives them complete power over him, along with the power over serpents and
scorpions, and tells them that nothing will ever hurt them in any way whatsoever. He thanked God that only the ignorant and foolish
will listen to him, and told his disciples how lucky they were to be able to see him.
(10:17) "The seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us."
(10:18) "He [Jesus] said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."
(10:19) "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."
What the Bible says about believers and
Christians
(10:21) "Jesus rejoiced ... 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." Who is the Lord of the earth?
(10:23) "He turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see."
(10:25) "A certain lawyer ... tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
(10:26) "He said unto him, What is written in the law?"
(10:27) "He ... 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."
(20:28) "He said ... Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."
(20:29) "He ... said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?"
(10:30-37) The story of the good Samaritan gets my
vote for the best bible story. We should all "go and do likewise."
(10:33) "But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had
compassion on him."
10:4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
10:5
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
10:6
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not,
it shall turn to you again.
10:7
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.
10:8And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things
as are set before you:
10:9
And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God
is come nigh unto you.
10:10But into whatsoever
city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the
streets of the same, and say,
10:11
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.
10:12
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that
city.
10:13Woe 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.
10:14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
10:15And thou, Capernaum,
which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
10:16He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me;
and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
10:17And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us
through thy name.
10:18
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
10:19Behold, 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.
10:20
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto
you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
10:21
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.
10:22
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.
10:23
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the
eyes which see the things that ye see:
10:24
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.
10:25
And, behold, a certain
lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit
eternal life?
10:26He said unto him, What
is written in the law? how readest thou?
10:27And 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.
10:28And he said unto him,
Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
10:29
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour?
10:30
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.
10:31
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw
him, he passed by on the other side.
10:32
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him,
and passed by on the other side.
10:33But a certain
Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had
compassion on him,
10:34
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.
10:35
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.
10:36Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell
among the thieves?
(10:36) "Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?"
(10:37) "He said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise."
10:37
And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do
thou likewise.
10:38
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.
10:39
And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard
his word.
10:40
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.
10:41
And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and
troubled about many things:
10:42
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall
not be taken away from her.
