WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 μετα δε ταυτα ανεδειξεν ο κυριοσ και ετερουσ εβδομηκοντα και απεστειλεν αυτουσ ανα δυο προ προσωπου αυτου εισ πασαν πολιν και τοπον ου εμελλεν αυτοσ ερχεσθαι
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 ελεγεν ουν προσ αυτουσ ο μεν θερισμοσ πολυσ οι δε εργαται ολιγοι δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπωσ εκβαλη εργατασ εισ τον θερισμον αυτου
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 υπαγετε ιδου εγω αποστελλω υμασ ωσ αρνασ εν μεσω λυκων
3 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4 μη βασταζετε βαλαντιον μη πηραν μηδε υποδηματα και μηδενα κατα την οδον ασπασησθε
4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5 εισ ην δ αν οικιαν εισερχησθε πρωτον λεγετε ειρηνη τω οικω τουτω
5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
6 και εαν η εκει υιοσ ειρηνησ επαναπαυσεται επ αυτον η ειρηνη υμων ει δε μηγε εφ υμασ ανακαμψει
6 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7 εν αυτη δε τη οικια μενετε εσθιοντεσ και πινοντεσ τα παρ αυτων αξιοσ γαρ ο εργατησ του μισθου αυτου εστιν μη μεταβαινετε εξ οικιασ εισ οικιαν
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 και εισ ην αν πολιν εισερχησθε και δεχωνται υμασ εσθιετε τα παρατιθεμενα υμιν
8 Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9 και θεραπευετε τουσ εν αυτη ασθενεισ και λεγετε αυτοισ ηγγικεν εφ υμασ η βασιλεια του θεου
9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
10 εισ ην δ αν πολιν εισερχησθε και μη δεχωνται υμασ εξελθοντεσ εισ τασ πλατειασ αυτησ ειπατε
10 But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 και τον κονιορτον τον κολληθεντα ημιν εκ τησ πολεωσ υμων απομασσομεθα υμιν πλην τουτο γινωσκετε οτι ηγγικεν εφ υμασ η βασιλεια του θεου
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 λεγω υμιν οτι σοδομοισ εν τη ημερα εκεινη ανεκτοτερον εσται η τη πολει εκεινη
12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13 ουαι σοι χοραζιν ουαι σοι βηθσαιδα οτι ει εν τυρω και σιδωνι εγενοντο αι δυναμεισ αι γενομεναι εν υμιν παλαι αν εν σακκω και σποδω καθημεναι μετενοησαν
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 πλην τυρω και σιδωνι ανεκτοτερον εσται εν τη κρισει η υμιν
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
15 και συ καπερναουμ η εωσ του ουρανου υψωθεισα εωσ αδου καταβιβασθηση
15 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.
16 ο ακουων υμων εμου ακουει και ο αθετων υμασ εμε αθετει ο δε εμε αθετων αθετει τον αποστειλαντα με
16 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 υπεστρεψαν δε οι εβδομηκοντα μετα χαρασ λεγοντεσ κυριε και τα δαιμονια υποτασσεται ημιν εν τω ονοματι σου
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18 ειπεν δε αυτοισ εθεωρουν τον σαταναν ωσ αστραπην εκ του ουρανου πεσοντα
18 He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 ιδου διδωμι υμιν την εξουσιαν του πατειν επανω οφεων και σκορπιων και επι πασαν την δυναμιν του εχθρου και ουδεν υμασ ου μη αδικηση
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 πλην εν τουτω μη χαιρετε οτι τα πνευματα υμιν υποτασσεται χαιρετε δε οτι τα ονοματα υμων εγραφη εν τοισ ουρανοισ
20 Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 εν αυτη τη ωρα ηγαλλιασατο τω πνευματι ο ιησουσ και ειπεν εξομολογουμαι σοι πατερ κυριε του ουρανου και τησ γησ οτι απεκρυψασ ταυτα απο σοφων και συνετων και απεκαλυψασ αυτα νηπιοισ ναι ο πατηρ οτι ουτωσ εγενετο ευδοκια εμπροσθεν σου
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 και στραφεισ προσ τουσ μαθητασ ειπεν παντα μοι παρεδοθη υπο του πατροσ μου και ουδεισ γινωσκει τισ εστιν ο υιοσ ει μη ο πατηρ και τισ εστιν ο πατηρ ει μη ο υιοσ και ω εαν βουληται ο υιοσ αποκαλυψαι
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 και στραφεισ προσ τουσ μαθητασ κατ ιδιαν ειπεν μακαριοι οι οφθαλμοι οι βλεποντεσ α βλεπετε
23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
24 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι πολλοι προφηται και βασιλεισ ηθελησαν ιδειν α υμεισ βλεπετε και ουκ ειδον και ακουσαι α ακουετε και ουκ ηκουσαν
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 και ιδου νομικοσ τισ ανεστη εκπειραζων αυτον και λεγων διδασκαλε τι ποιησασ ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω
25 Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 ο δε ειπεν προσ αυτον εν τω νομω τι γεγραπται πωσ αναγινωσκεισ
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αγαπησεισ κυριον τον θεον σου εξ ολησ τησ καρδιασ σου και εξ ολησ τησ ψυχησ σου και εξ ολησ τησ ισχυοσ σου και εξ ολησ τησ διανοιασ σου και τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον
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 ειπεν δε αυτω ορθωσ απεκριθησ τουτο ποιει και ζηση
28 He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 ο δε θελων δικαιουν εαυτον ειπεν προσ τον ιησουν και τισ εστιν μου πλησιον
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
30 υπολαβων δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν ανθρωποσ τισ κατεβαινεν απο ιερουσαλημ εισ ιεριχω και λησταισ περιεπεσεν οι και εκδυσαντεσ αυτον και πληγασ επιθεντεσ απηλθον αφεντεσ ημιθανη τυγχανοντα
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 κατα συγκυριαν δε ιερευσ τισ κατεβαινεν εν τη οδω εκεινη και ιδων αυτον αντιπαρηλθεν
31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 ομοιωσ δε και λευιτησ γενομενοσ κατα τον τοπον ελθων και ιδων αντιπαρηλθεν
32 In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 σαμαρειτησ δε τισ οδευων ηλθεν κατ αυτον και ιδων αυτον εσπλαγχνισθη
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34 και προσελθων κατεδησεν τα τραυματα αυτου επιχεων ελαιον και οινον επιβιβασασ δε αυτον επι το ιδιον κτηνοσ ηγαγεν αυτον εισ πανδοχειον και επεμεληθη αυτου
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 και επι την αυριον εξελθων εκβαλων δυο δηναρια εδωκεν τω πανδοχει και ειπεν αυτω επιμεληθητι αυτου και ο τι αν προσδαπανησησ εγω εν τω επανερχεσθαι με αποδωσω σοι
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 τισ ουν τουτων των τριων πλησιον δοκει σοι γεγονεναι του εμπεσοντοσ εισ τουσ ληστασ
36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 ο δε ειπεν ο ποιησασ το ελεοσ μετ αυτου ειπεν ουν αυτω ο ιησουσ πορευου και συ ποιει ομοιωσ
37 He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38 εγενετο δε εν τω πορευεσθαι αυτουσ και αυτοσ εισηλθεν εισ κωμην τινα γυνη δε τισ ονοματι μαρθα υπεδεξατο αυτον εισ τον οικον αυτησ
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 και τηδε ην αδελφη καλουμενη μαρια η και παρακαθισασα παρα τουσ ποδασ του ιησου ηκουεν τον λογον αυτου
39 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.
40 η δε μαρθα περιεσπατο περι πολλην διακονιαν επιστασα δε ειπεν κυριε ου μελει σοι οτι η αδελφη μου μονην με κατελειπεν διακονειν ειπε ουν αυτη ινα μοι συναντιλαβηται
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 αποκριθεισ δε ειπεν αυτη ο ιησουσ μαρθα μαρθα μεριμνασ και τυρβαζη περι πολλα
41 Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 ενοσ δε εστιν χρεια μαρια δε την αγαθην μεριδα εξελεξατο ητισ ουκ αφαιρεθησεται απ αυτησ
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."

Hearken also unto Christ, saying, "Rejoice not that the demons obey you, but that your names are written in Heaven." And again before this, "Many will say to me in that day, Have we not prophesied in Thy name, and cast out devils, and done many mighty works, and then I will profess unto them, I know you not." And …
