1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

<>the Lord … sent them, <>the Lord … sent them … before his face into every city and place, <>sent them two and two, <>city

2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

<>harvest … harvest … harvest

3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

<>I send you forth as lambs among wolves., <>lambs

4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

<>salute, <>by the way

5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

<>vv. 5,8, <>house, <>Peace

6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

<>eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house., <>drinking, <>the labourer is worthy of his hire, <>Go not from house to house.

8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

<>vv. 5,8, <>eat such things as are set before you

9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

<>sick, <>The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you., <>The kingdom of God

10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

<>they receive you not

11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

<>Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you

12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

<>Sodom

13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

<>mighty works, <>repented

14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

<>at the judgment

15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

<>v. 15

16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

<>v. 16, <>despiseth … despiseth … despiseth … despiseth

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

<>vv. 17-20, <>the devils are subject unto us through thy name

18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

<>vv. 17-20, <>Satan … fall from heaven

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

<>vv. 17-20, <>I give unto you power to tread on serpents … and over all the power of the enemy, <>nothing shall by any means hurt you

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

<>vv. 17-20, <>the spirits are subject unto you, <>rejoice, because your names are written in heaven

21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

<>thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes, <>prudent, <>good in thy sight

22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no 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.

<>the Father … he to whom the Son will reveal him

23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

<>vv. 23-24

24 For I tell you, that many 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.

<>vv. 23-24, <>many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see

25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

<>vv. 25-26, <>a certain, <>tempted him, <>Master, <>what shall I do to inherit eternal life?, <>to inherit eternal life

26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

<>vv. 25-26, <>What is written in the law? how readest thou?

27 And he answering said, Thou 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 thy neighbour as thyself.

<>vv. 27-28, <>Thou 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, <>Thou shalt love … thy neighbour as thyself., <>with all thy heart

28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

<>vv. 27-28, <>Thou hast answered right, <>answered

29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

<>willing to justify himself

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 wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

<>vv. 30-37, <>thieves, <>dead

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

<>vv. 30-37, <>priest

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

<>vv. 30-37

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

<>vv. 30-37

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

<>vv. 30-37, <>bound up his wounds, <>oil and wine

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

<>vv. 30-37, <>I come again

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

<>vv. 30-37

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

<>vv. 30-37, <>He that shewed mercy, <>shewed mercy, <>mercy … do thou likewise

38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

<>vv. 38-42, <>certain, <>woman, <>received him into her house

39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

<>vv. 38-42, <>sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word., <>heard his word

40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

<>vv. 38-42

41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

<>vv. 38-42, <>thou art … troubled, <>thou art careful … about many things

42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

<>vv. 38-42

1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

<>as he was praying … he ceased

2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

<>vv. 2-4, <>Our Father which art in heaven

3 Give us day by day our daily bread.

<>vv. 2-4, <>v. 3, <>day by day our daily bread, <>bread

4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

<>vv. 2-4, <>forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us, <>forgive … forgive, <>lead us not into temptation, <>deliver us from evil

5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

<>answer, <>the door, <>children

8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

<>because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth

9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

<>Ask, and it shall be given you, <>seek, and ye shall find, <>knock, and it shall be opened unto you

10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

<>If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?, <>son, <>stone

12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

<>v. 13, <>children, <>give the Holy Spirit

14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

<>vv. 14-20

15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

<>vv. 14-20

16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

<>vv. 14-20, <>tempting him, <>sought of him a sign

17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

<>vv. 14-20, <>he, knowing their thoughts, <>a house divided, <>house … house

18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

<>vv. 14-20

19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

<>vv. 14-20, <>by whom do your sons cast them out?, <>your sons … therefore shall they be your judges

20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

<>vv. 14-20, <>the finger of God, <>the kingdom of God is come upon you, <>the kingdom of God

21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

<>strong man, <>peace

22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

<>his armour wherein he trusted, <>armour

23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

<>He that is not with me is against me

24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

<>the unclean spirit … walketh through dry places, seeking rest, <>the unclean spirit … walketh through dry places, <>seeking rest; and finding none

25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

<>he … taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there, <>state

27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

<>vv. 27-28, <>woman, <>bare

28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

<>vv. 27-28, <>blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it, <>hear the word of God

29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

<>vv. 29-32, <>This is an evil generation: they seek a sign, <>the sign of Jonas the prophet

30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

<>vv. 29-32, <>this generation

31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

<>vv. 29-32, <>shall rise up in the judgment, <>in the judgment, <>hear the wisdom

32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

<>vv. 29-32, <>repented, <>the preaching of Jonas

33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

<>v. 33, <>candlestick

34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

<>vv. 34-36, <>when thine eye is evil

35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

<>vv. 34-36, <>v. 35

36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

<>vv. 34-36, <>when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light

37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

<>Pharisee, <>meat

38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

<>Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness., <>ravening

40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

<>did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

<>give alms of such things as ye have

42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

<>tithe, <>herbs, <>the love of God, <>not to leave the other undone

43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

<>ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, <>seats

44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

<>scribes, <>hypocrites, <>graves

45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

<>Master

46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

<>ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers, <>burdens … burdens

47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

<>vv. 47-48

48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

<>vv. 47-48, <>ye allow the deeds of your fathers

49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

<>v. 49, <>apostles, <>persecute

50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

<>vv. 50-51, <>the blood of all the prophets … shed from the foundation of the world

51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

<>vv. 50-51, <>the blood of Abel … shall be required of this generation, <>the altar, <>the temple, <>verily

52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

<>Woe unto you … for ye have taken away the key of knowledge, <>them that were entering in ye hindered

53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

<>vv. 53-54

54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

<>vv. 53-54, <>v. 54, <>Laying wait, <>accuse
