1 After this, the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.
1 Y DESPUÉS de estas cosas, designó el Señor aun otros setenta, los cuales envió de dos en dos delante de sí, á toda ciudad y lugar á donde él había de venir.
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.
2 Therefore He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.
2 Y les decía: La mies á la verdad es mucha, mas los obreros pocos; por tanto, rogad al Señor de la mies que envíe obreros á su mies.
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.
3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
3 Andad, he aquí yo os envío como corderos en medio de lobos.

4 Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.
4 No llevéis bolsa, ni alforja, ni calzado; y á nadie saludéis en el camino.
4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5 Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
5 En cualquiera casa donde entrareis, primeramente decid: Paz [sea] á esta casa.
5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
6 If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
6 Y si hubiere allí algún hijo de paz, vuestra paz reposará sobre él; y si no, se volverá á vosotros.
6 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7 Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
7 Y posad en aquella misma casa, comiendo y bebiendo lo que os dieren; porque el obrero digno es de su salario. No os paséis de casa en casa.
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.
8 If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.
8 Y en cualquier ciudad donde entrareis, y os recibieren, comed lo que os pusieren delante;
8 Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

10 But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,
10 Mas en cualquier ciudad donde entrareis, y no os recibieren, saliendo por sus calles, decid:
10 But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to us, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near to you.’
11 Aun el polvo que se nos ha pegado de vuestra ciudad á nuestros pies, sacudimos en vosotros: esto empero sabed, que el reino de los cielos se ha llegado á vosotros.
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.’
12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
12 Y os digo que los de Sodoma tendrán más remisión aquel día, que aquella ciudad.
12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
13 ¡Ay de ti, Corazín! ¡Ay de ti, Bethsaida! que si en Tiro y en Sidón hubieran sido hechas las maravillas que se han hecho en vosotras, ya días ha que, sentados en cilicio y ceniza, se habrían arrepentido.
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 repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
14 Por tanto, Tiro y Sidón tendrán más remisión que vosotras en el juicio.
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades!
15 Y tú, Capernaum, que hasta los cielos estás levantada, hasta los infiernos serás abajada.
15 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.
16 Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
16 El que á vosotros oye, á mí oye; y el que á vosotros desecha, á mí desecha; y el que á mí desecha, desecha al que me envió.
16 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 The seventy returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”
17 Y volvieron los setenta con gozo, diciendo: Señor, aun los demonios se nos sujetan en tu nombre.
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18 So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
18 Y les dijo: Yo veía á Satanás, como un rayo, que caía del cielo.
18 He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I am giving you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.
19 He aquí os doy potestad de hollar sobre las serpientes y sobre los escorpiones, y sobre toda fuerza del enemigo, y nada os dañará.
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.
20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
20 Mas no os gocéis de esto, que los espíritus se os sujetan; antes gozaos de que vuestros nombres están escritos en los cielos.
20 Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.”
21 En aquella misma hora Jesús se alegró en espíritu, y dijo: Yo te alabo, oh Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, que escondiste estas cosas á los sabios y entendidos, y las has revelado á los pequeños: así, Padre, porque así te agradó.
21 In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, 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.”
22 And turning to the disciples, He said, “All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”
22 Todas las cosas me son entregadas de mi Padre: y nadie sabe quién sea el Hijo sino el Padre; ni quién sea el Padre, sino el Hijo, y á quien el Hijo [lo] quisiere revelar.
22 Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by 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.”
23 Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
23 Y vuelto particularmente á los discípulos, dijo: Bienaventurados los ojos que ven lo que vosotros veis:
23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
24 Porque os digo que muchos profetas y reyes desearon ver lo que vosotros veis, y no lo vieron; y oir lo que oís, y no lo oyeron.
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.”
25 One day an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
25 Y he aquí, un doctor de la ley se levantó, tentándole y diciendo: Maestro, ¿haciendo qué cosa poseeré la vida eterna?
25 Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”
26 Y él le dijo: ¿Qué está escrito en la ley? ¿cómo lees?
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
27 Y él respondiendo, dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de todas tus fuerzas, y de todo tu entendimiento; y á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
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.”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”
28 Y díjole: Bien has respondido: haz esto, y vivirás.
28 He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
29 Mas él, queriéndose justificar á sí mismo, dijo á Jesús: ¿Y quién es mi prójimo?
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
30 Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
30 Y respondiendo Jesús, dijo: Un hombre descendía de Jerusalem á Jericó, y cayó en [manos de] ladrones, los cuales le despojaron; é hiriéndole, se fueron, dejándole medio muerto.
30 Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
31 Y aconteció, que descendió un sacerdote por aquel camino, y viéndole, se pasó de un lado.
31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Y asimismo un Levita, llegando cerca de aquel lugar, y viéndole, se pasó de un lado.
32 In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 But a Samaritan on a journey came upon him, and when he saw him, he had compassion.
33 Mas un Samaritano que transitaba, viniendo cerca de él, y viéndole, fué movido á misericordia;
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
34 Y llegándose, vendó sus heridas, echándo[les] aceite y vino; y poniéndole sobre su cabalgadura, llevóle al mesón, y cuidó de él.
34 came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 The next day when he departed he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’
35 Y otro día al partir, sacó dos denarios, y diólos al huésped, y le dijo: Cuídamele; y todo lo que de más gastares, yo cuando vuelva te [lo] pagaré.
35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, 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.’
36 So which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
36 ¿Quién, pues, de estos tres te parece que fué el prójimo de aquél que cayó en [manos de] los ladrones?
36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 “The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
37 Y él dijo: El que usó con él de misericordia. Entonces Jesús le dijo: Ve, y haz tú lo mismo.
37 He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
38 Y aconteció que yendo, entró él en una aldea: y una mujer llamada Marta, le recibió en su casa.
38 As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus’ feet listening to His message.
39 Y ésta tenía una hermana que se llamaba María, la cual sentándose á los pies de Jesús, oía su palabra.
39 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.
40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”
40 Empero Marta se distraía en muchos servicios; y sobreviniendo, dice: Señor, ¿no tienes cuidado que mi hermana me deja servir sola? Dile pues, que me ayude.
40 But Martha 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.”
41 “Martha, Martha,” Jesus replied, “you are worried and troubled about many things.
41 Pero respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Marta, Marta, cuidadosa estás, y con las muchas cosas estás turbada:
41 Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
42 Empero una cosa es necesaria; y María escogió la buena parte, la cual no le será quitada.
42 but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
By the lesson of the Gospel which has just been read, we are reminded to search what that harvest is of which the Lord says, "The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few.

And He is called Angel and Apostle; for He declares whatever we ought to know, and is sent forth to declare whatever is revealed; as our Lord Himself says, "He that heareth Me, heareth Him that sent Me." From the writings of Moses also this will be manifest; for thus it is written in them, "And the Angel of God …
For the Lord, through means of suffering, "ascending into the lofty place, led captivity captive, gave gifts to men," and conferred on those that believe in Him the power "to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy," that is, of the leader of apostasy.
This, therefore, is the counsel of Him whom I regard as having spoken the words, "Whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee."
