1.Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he was about to come.

2Then 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.

3Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

4Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way. ¹⁰⁶

5Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Shalom ·Complete peace· be to this house.’

6If a seeker of shalom ·complete peace· is there, your shalom ·complete peace· will find its rest with him; and if there isn't, it will teshuvah ·completely return· to you.

7Remain 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.

8Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

9¹⁰⁷Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’

10But into whatever city you enter, and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,

11‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’

12I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom [Burning] than for that city.

13“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have made teshuvah ·complete repentance· long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

15You, Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion], who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades / Sh'ol ·Place of the dead·. ¹⁰⁸

16Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever refuses ·to set aside, neutralize, violate, cast off, nullify, make void· you also refuses ·to set aside, neutralize, violate, cast off, nullify, make void· me. Whoever refuses ·to set aside, neutralize, violate, cast off, nullify, make void· me also refuses ·to set aside, neutralize, violate, cast off, nullify, make void· him who sent me.”

17The seventy teshuvah ·completely returned· with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

18He said to them, “I saw Satan [Adversary] having fallen like lightning from heaven.

19Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way do any unjust criminal action sin ·miss the mark and is without share in the goal· against you.

20Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

21In that same hour Yeshua [Salvation] rejoiced in Ruach haKodesh [Spirit, Breath of the Holiness], and said, “I thank you, O Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”

22Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by 'Avi ·my Father·. No one knows who the Son is, except the Abba Father, and who the Abba Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

23Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

24for 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.”

25Behold, a certain Torah-expert stood up and tested him, saying, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

26He said to him, “What is written in the Torah ·Teaching·? How do you read it?”

27He answered, “You shall have agapao ·total devotion love· to MarYah [Master Yahweh] your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; ¹⁰⁹and your neighbor as yourself.” ¹¹⁰

28He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.” ¹¹¹

29But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Yeshua [Salvation], “Who is my neighbor?”

30Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem [City of peace] to Jericho [Fragrant, Moon], and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32In the same way a Levite [Descendant of United with] also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33But a certain Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain], as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

34came 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.

35On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii (2 days wages), 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 teshuvah ·completely return·.’

36Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”

37He said, “He who showed eleos ·merciful compassion in action· on him.” Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

38As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha [Lady mistress, Strong bitterness] received him into her house.

39She had a sister called Mary [Rebellion], who also sat at Yeshua's [Salvation]'s feet, and heard his word.

40But Martha [Lady mistress, Strong bitterness] 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.”

41Yeshua [Salvation] answered her, “Martha [Lady mistress, Strong bitterness], Martha [Lady mistress, Strong bitterness], you are anxious and troubled about many things,

42but one thing is needed. Mary [Rebellion] has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
