⥃Jesus Sends the Seventy-Two ^{[ Matthew 9:35–38 ]}

[1] After these² things the Lord appointed other seventy³ also, and sent them two and⁴ two before his face into every city and place, whither⁵ he himself would come. [2] Therefore said he unto them, The harvest⁶ truly [is] great, but the labourers⁷ [are⁸] few: pray⁹ ye therefore the Lord¹⁰ of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. [3] Go your ways: behold, I send¹¹ you forth as lambs among wolves¹². [4] Carry neither¹³ purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and¹⁴ salute no man by the way. [5] And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.¹⁵ [6] And if the son¹⁶ of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall¹⁷ turn to you again. [7] And in¹⁸ the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for¹⁹ the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go²⁰ not from house to house. [8] And²¹ into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat²² such things as are set before you: [9] And heal²³ the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom²⁴ of God is come nigh unto you. [10] But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go²⁵ your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, [11] Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding²⁶ be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. [12] But I say unto you, that²⁷ it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

⥃Woe to the Unrepentant ^{[ Matthew 11:20–24 ]}

[13] Woe unto²⁸ thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for²⁹ if the mighty works had been done in Tyre³⁰ and Sidon, which³¹ have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented³², sitting in sackcloth and ashes. [14] But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.³³ [15] And thou, Capernaum³⁴, which³⁵ art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust³⁶ down to hell. [16] He that heareth you³⁷ heareth me; and he that despiseth you³⁸ despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him³⁹ that sent me.

⥃The Joyful Return

[17] And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.⁴⁰ [18] And he said unto them, I beheld Satan⁴¹ as lightning fall from heaven. [19] Behold, I give⁴² unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing⁴³ shall by any means hurt you. [20] Notwithstanding in this⁴⁴ rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your⁴⁵ names are written in heaven.

⥃Jesus’ Prayer of Thanksgiving ^{[ Matthew 11:25–30 ]}

[21] In that hour Jesus⁴⁶ rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank⁴⁷ thee, O Father, Lord⁴⁸ of heaven and earth, that thou hast⁴⁹ hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed⁵⁰ them unto babes: even⁵¹ so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. [22] All things⁵² are delivered to me of my Father: and no⁵³ 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].

[23] And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed⁵⁴ [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see: [24] For I tell you, that many⁵⁵ 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].

⥃The Parable of the Good Samaritan

[25] And, behold, a certain⁵⁶ lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master⁵⁷, what shall I do to⁵⁸ inherit eternal life? [26] He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?⁵⁹ [27] And he answering said, Thou⁶⁰ 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 thy⁶¹ neighbour as thyself. [28] And he said unto him, Thou hast⁶² answered right: this⁶³ do, and thou shalt live. [29] But he, willing⁶⁴ to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And⁶⁵ who is my neighbour? [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 wounded⁶⁶ [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead. [31] And by⁶⁷ chance there came down a certain priest⁶⁸ that way: and when he saw him, he passed⁶⁹ by on the other side. [32] And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked [on him], and passed by on the other side.⁷⁰ [33] But a certain Samaritan⁷¹, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had⁷² compassion [on him], [34] And went⁷³ to [him], and bound⁷⁴ up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn⁷⁵, and took care of him. [35] And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence⁷⁶, and gave [them] to the host⁷⁷, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever⁷⁸ thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. [36] Which now of these three, thinkest⁷⁹ thou, was⁸⁰ neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? [37] And he said, He that⁸¹ shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go⁸², and do thou likewise.

⥃Martha and Mary

[38] Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain⁸³ village: and a certain woman named Martha received⁸⁴ him into her house. [39] And she had a sister called Mary, which⁸⁵ also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. [40] But Martha was cumbered⁸⁶ about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost⁸⁷ thou not care that my⁸⁸ sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. [41] And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou⁸⁹ art careful and troubled about many⁹⁰ things: [42] But one⁹¹ thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen⁹² that good⁹³ part, which⁹⁴ shall not be taken away from her.
