Luke 10

HNV

MSG

1 Now after these things the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place, where he himself was about to come.
1 Later the Master selected seventy and sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he intended to go.
2 Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
2 He gave them this charge: "What a huge harvest! And how few the harvest hands. So on your knees; ask the God of the Harvest to send harvest hands.
3 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.
3 "On your way! But be careful - this is hazardous work. You're like lambs in a wolf pack.
4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
4 "Travel light. Comb and toothbrush and no extra luggage. "Don't loiter and make small talk with everyone you meet along the way.
5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Shalom be to this house.'
5 "When you enter a home, greet the family, 'Peace.'
6 If a son of shalom is there, your shalom will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
6 If your greeting is received, then it's a good place to stay. But if it's not received, take it back and get out. Don't impose yourself.
7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house.
7 "Stay at one home, taking your meals there, for a worker deserves three square meals. Don't move from house to house, looking for the best cook in town.
8 Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
8 "When you enter a town and are received, eat what they set before you,
9 Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
9 heal anyone who is sick, and tell them, 'God's kingdom is right on your doorstep!'
10 But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out into the streets of it and say,
10 "When you enter a town and are not received, go out in the street and say,
11 'Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you.'
11 'The only thing we got from you is the dirt on our feet, and we're giving it back. Did you have any idea that God's kingdom was right on your doorstep?'
12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sedom than for that city.
12 Sodom will have it better on Judgment Day than the town that rejects you.
13 "Woe to you, Kora'zin! Woe to you, Beit-Tzaidah! For if the mighty works had been done in Tzor and Tzidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
13 "Doom, Chorazin! Doom, Bethsaida! If Tyre and Sidon had been given half the chances given you, they'd have been on their knees long ago, repenting and crying for mercy.
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tzor and Tzidon in the judgment than for you.
14 Tyre and Sidon will have it easy on Judgment Day compared to you.
15 You, Kafar-Nachum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to She'ol.
15 "And you, Capernaum! Do you think you're about to be promoted to heaven? Think again. You're on a mud slide to hell.
16 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
16 "The one who listens to you, listens to me. The one who rejects you, rejects me. And rejecting me is the same as rejecting God, who sent me."
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!"
17 The seventy came back triumphant. "Master, even the demons danced to your tune!"
18 He said to them, "I saw Hasatan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
18 Jesus said, "I know. I saw Satan fall, a bolt of lightning out of the sky.
19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
19 See what I've given you? Safe passage as you walk on snakes and scorpions, and protection from every assault of the Enemy. No one can put a hand on you.
20 Nevertheless, don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
20 All the same, the great triumph is not in your authority over evil, but in God's authority over you and presence with you. Not what you do for God but what God does for you - that's the agenda for rejoicing."
21 In that same hour Yeshua rejoiced in the Ruach HaKodesh, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and eretz, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."
21 At that, Jesus rejoiced, exuberant in the Holy Spirit. "I thank you, Father, Master of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the know-it-alls and showed them to these innocent newcomers. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.
22 Turning to the talmidim, he said, "All things have been delivered to me from my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."
22 "I've been given it all by my Father! Only the Father knows who the Son is and only the Son knows who the Father is. The Son can introduce the Father to anyone he wants to."
23 Turning to the talmidim, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
23 He then turned in a private aside to his disciples. "Fortunate the eyes that see what you're seeing!
24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn't see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn't hear them."
24 There are plenty of prophets and kings who would have given their right arm to see what you are seeing but never got so much as a glimpse, to hear what you are hearing but never got so much as a whisper." Defining "Neighbor"
25 Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
25 Just then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus. "Teacher, what do I need to do to get eternal life?"
26 He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"
26 He answered, "What's written in God's Law? How do you interpret it?"
27 He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
27 He said, "That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence - and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself."
28 He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."
28 "Good answer!" said Jesus. "Do it and you'll live."
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Yeshua, "Who is my neighbor?"
29 Looking for a loophole, he asked, "And just how would you define 'neighbor'?"
30 Yeshua answered, "A certain man was going down from Yerushalayim to Yericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
30 Jesus answered by telling a story. "There was once a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. On the way he was attacked by robbers. They took his clothes, beat him up, and went off leaving him half-dead.
31 By chance a certain Kohen was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
31 Luckily, a priest was on his way down the same road, but when he saw him he angled across to the other side.
32 In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.
32 Then a Levite religious man showed up; he also avoided the injured man.
33 But a certain Shomroni, as he journeyed, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
33 "A Samaritan traveling the road came on him. When he saw the man's condition, his heart went out to him.
34 came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
34 He gave him first aid, disinfecting and bandaging his wounds. Then he lifted him onto his donkey, led him to an inn, and made him comfortable.
35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.'
35 In the morning he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take good care of him. If it costs any more, put it on my bill - I'll pay you on my way back.'
36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"
36 "What do you think? Which of the three became a neighbor to the man attacked by robbers?"
37 He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Yeshua said to him, "Go and do likewise."
37 "The one who treated him kindly," the religion scholar responded. Jesus said, "Go and do the same."
38 It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Marta received him into her house.
38 As they continued their travel, Jesus entered a village. A woman by the name of Martha welcomed him and made him feel quite at home.
39 She had a sister called Miryam, who also sat at Yeshua' feet, and heard his word.
39 She had a sister, Mary, who sat before the Master, hanging on every word he said.
40 But Marta was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."
40 But Martha was pulled away by all she had to do in the kitchen. Later, she stepped in, interrupting them. "Master, don't you care that my sister has abandoned the kitchen to me? Tell her to lend me a hand."
41 Yeshua answered her, "Marta, Marta, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
41 The Master said, "Martha, dear Martha, you're fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing.
42 but one thing is needed. Miryam has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
42 One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it - it's the main course, and won't be taken from her."
