Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two
1 After this the Lord chose another seventy-two men and sent them out two by two, to go ahead of him to every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 He said to them, “There is a large harvest, but few workers to gather it in. Pray to the owner of the harvest that he will send out workers to gather in his harvest. 3 Go! I am sending you like lambs among wolves. 4 Don't take a purse or a beggar's bag or shoes; don't stop to greet anyone on the road. 5 Whenever you go into a house, first say, ‘Peace be with this house.’ 6 If someone who is peace-loving lives there, let your greeting of peace remain on that person; if not, take back your greeting of peace. 7 Stay in that same house, eating and drinking whatever they offer you, for workers should be given their pay. Don't move around from one house to another. 8 Whenever you go into a town and are made welcome, eat what is set before you, 9 heal the sick in that town, and say to the people there, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near you.’ 10 But whenever you go into a town and are not welcomed, go out in the streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust from your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. But remember that the Kingdom of God has come near you!’ 12 I assure you that on the Judgment Day God will show more mercy to Sodom than to that town!
The Unbelieving Towns
(Matthew 11.20-24)13 “How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible for you too, Bethsaida! If the miracles which were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have long ago sat down, put on sackcloth, and sprinkled ashes on themselves, to show that they had turned from their sins! 14 God will show more mercy on the Judgment Day to Tyre and Sidon than to you. 15 And as for you, Capernaum! Did you want to lift yourself up to heaven? You will be thrown down to hell!”
16 Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”
The Return of the Seventy-Two
17 The seventy-two men came back in great joy. “Lord,” they said, “even the demons obeyed us when we gave them a command in your name!”
18 Jesus answered them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Listen! I have given you authority, so that you can walk on snakes and scorpions and overcome all the power of the Enemy, and nothing will hurt you. 20 But don't be glad because the evil spirits obey you; rather be glad because your names are written in heaven.”
Jesus Rejoices
(Matthew 11.25-27Matthew 13.16Matthew 17)21 At that time Jesus was filled with joy by the Holy Spirit and said, “Father, Lord of heaven and earth! I thank you because you have shown to the unlearned what you have hidden from the wise and learned. Yes, Father, this was how you were pleased to have it happen.
22 “My Father has given me all things. 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.”
23 Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said to them privately, “How fortunate you are to see the things you see! 24 I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see, but they could not, and to hear what you hear, but they did not.”
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 A teacher of the Law came up and tried to trap Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to receive eternal life?”
26 Jesus answered him, “What do the Scriptures say? How do you interpret them?”
27 The man answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind’; and ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’”
28 “You are right,” Jesus replied; “do this and you will live.”
29 But the teacher of the Law wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
30 Jesus answered, “There was once a man who was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when robbers attacked him, stripped him, and beat him up, leaving him half dead. 31 It so happened that a priest was going down that road; but when he saw the man, he walked on by on the other side. 32 In the same way a Levite also came there, went over and looked at the man, and then walked on by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan who was traveling that way came upon the man, and when he saw him, his heart was filled with pity. 34 He went over to him, poured oil and wine on his wounds and bandaged them; then he put the man on his own animal and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he told the innkeeper, ‘and when I come back this way, I will pay you whatever else you spend on him.’”
36 And Jesus concluded, “In your opinion, which one of these three acted like a neighbor toward the man attacked by the robbers?”
37 The teacher of the Law answered, “The one who was kind to him.”
Jesus replied, “You go, then, and do the same.”
Jesus Visits Martha and Mary
38 As Jesus and his disciples went on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha welcomed him in her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat down at the feet of the Lord and listened to his teaching. 40 Martha was upset over all the work she had to do, so she came and said, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me!”
41 The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha! You are worried and troubled over so many things, 42 but just one is needed. Mary has chosen the right thing, and it will not be taken away from her.”

72 mōcekļu syuteišona.
1 Pēc tam Kungs pazeimōja cytus vēļ septeņdesmit divejus mōcekļus un pasyuteja jūs īt pa divi īprīkš uz ikvīnu mīstu un vītu, uz kurīni pats gribēja īt. 2 Jys tim saceja: Pļōves lauks gon ir lels, bet strōdnīku moz. Tōdēļ lyudzit pļōves lauka Kungu, lai syuta sovā laukā strōdnīkus. 3 Ejte. Raug, Es jyusus syutu, kai jārus vylku vydā. 4 Najemit leidza ni naudas moka, ni kules, ni kūrpu un ceļā nikō nasveicynojit. 5 Kad īīsit kaidā mōjā, tad pyrmū sokit: Mīrs šai mōjai. 6 Jo tur dzeivōs mīra bārns, tad jyusu mīrs pi jō mitēs, bet jo nē, tad atsagrīzs atpakaļ uz jums. 7 Tamā pat mōjā palicit āsdami un dzardami, kas pi jim ir, strōdnīks tadei ir cīneigs sovas olgas. Nastaigalejit nu vīnas sātas uz ūtru.
8 Kad jyus īīsit kaidā mīstā, un jyusus tur pījims, tad ēdit, kū jums liks prīškā, 9 slymūs, kas tur byutu, dorit vasalus un jim sludynojit: Dīva vaļsteiba pi jums tyvojās. 10 Kad jyus īīsit kaidā mīstā, un jyusu tur napījimtu, tad ejit ōrā īlōs saceidami: 11 Mes pat putekli, kas pīlypa pi myusu kōjom nu jyusu mīsta, nūkrotam uz jums atpakaļ, — tūmār īvārojit, ka Dīva vaļsteiba ir tyvu. 12 Es jums soku, ka Sodomai tamā dīnā byus vīgļōk, na taidam mīstam.
Draudi mīstim.
13 Bāda tev, Korozain, bāda tev, Betsaida! Jo Tyrā un Sydonā byutu nūtykuši tī breinumi, kas pi jums nūtyka, tad jau seņ maisā un palnūs byutu grāku vaidēšonu darejuši. 14 Tyram un Sydonam tīsas dīnā byus vīgļōk, kai jums. 15 Un tu, Kafarnaum, vai tu nabeji leidz debesim paaugstynōts? Tu tiksi nūgryusts leidz eļnei.
16 Kas jyusu klausa, tys Manis klausa, kas jyusus nīvoj, tys Mani nīvoj, bet kas Mani nīvoj, tys nīvoj Tū, kas Mani syuteja.
Mōcekļu atsagrīzšona.
17 Tī septeņdesmit divi grīzēs prīceigi atpakaļ un stōsteja: Kungs, Tovā Vōrdā pat ļaunī gori ir mums padeveigi. 18 Jys atbiļdēja: Es redzēju ļaunū goru, kai zibini nu dabasim kreitam. 19 Raug, Es jums īdevu varu staigōt pōri par čyuskom un skorpionim un par naideigū spāku, nikas jums navarēs kaitēt. 20 Tūmār nasaprīcojit nu tō, ka ļaunī gori jums ir padeveigi, bet gon prīcojitēs nu tō, ka jyusu vōrdi ir dabasūs pīraksteiti.
Pateiceibas lyugšona.
21 Tūlaik Jys prīcōjōs Svātajā Gorā un saceja:
Tāvs, dabasu un zemes Kungs, Es tevi slaveju,
ka Tu šytū paslēpi pret gudrim un saprateigim,
bet pasludynōji mozajim.
22 Jā, Tāvs, tai Tev ir labpaticis!
Muns Tāvs Maņ vysu atdeve.
Nikas nazyna, kas ir Dāls, kai vīneigi Tāvs.
Un nikas nazyna, kas ir Tāvs, kai tikai Dāls
un tys, kam Dāls grib dareit zynomu.
23 Un pasagrīzis uz mōceklim saceja: Svēteigas ir acis, kas redz tū, kū jyus radzat! 24 Es tadei jums soku: Daudz kēneņu un pravīšu gribēja redzēt tū, kū jyus radzat, bet naredzēja, dzērdēt, kū jyus dzēržat, bet nadzērdēja.
Žāļsirdeigais samarīts.
25 Raug, pīsacēle vīns Rokstim mōceitais un, grybādams Jū pōrbaudeit, saceja: Mōceitōj, kas maņ jōdora, lai īmontōtu myužeigū dzeivi? 26 Bet Jys tam atbiļdēja: Kas stōv raksteits lykumā? Kai tur losi? 27 Jys atbiļdēja: Mīļoj Dīvu, sovu Kungu nu vysas sovas sirds, nu vysas sovas dvēseles, nu vysa sova spāka un nu vysa sova prōta un sovu tyvōkū, kai sevi pošu. 28 Tad Jys atbiļdēja: Tu atbiļdēji vysā labi, dori tai un dzeivōsi. 29 Bet tys, grybādams sevi attaisnōt, saceja Jezum: Kas tad ir maņ tyvōkais?
30 Jezus, tōļōk runojūt, jam saceja: Kaids cylvāks, īdams nu Jeruzalema uz Jericho, kryta laupeitōju rūkōs. Tī aplaupejuši gryuši jū īvaiņōja, un pamatuši pusdzeivu guļūt, aizgōja prūjom. 31 Pa tū ceļu gadejōs īt vīnam goreidznīkam; jys tū īraudzeja, bet pagōja garum. 32 Tai pat ari levits, atgōjis uz tū vītu, pasavēre un pagōja garum. 33 Ari kaids samarīts gōja pa tū ceļu Bet, īraudzejis tū, jys apsažālōja, 34 pīgōja klōtu, apsvaideja bryuces ar eleju un veinu un jōs apseja. Tad pajēme jū uz sova lūpa, un nūvede uz mōjas vītu un jū apkūpe. 35 Nōkušā dīnā, izviļcis divi denari, īdeve mōjas saiminīkam saceidams: Apkūp jū un jo vairōk par šytū izdūsi, es, īdams atpakaļ, tev atleidzēšu. 36 Kurs tad nu šitim trejim, pēc tovom dūmom, ir laupeitōju rūkōs īkrytušō tyvōkais? 37 Tad jys atbiļdēja: Tys, kas jam izdareja žāļsirdeibu. Un Jezus tam saceja: Ej un dori taipat.
Marta un Marija.
38 Un nūtyka, ka Jezus, īdams pa ceļu, īgōja kaidā solā. Tur Jū pījēme sovōs mōjōs kaida sīvīte, vōrdā Marta. 39 Jai beja mōsa, vōrdā Marija. Tei nūsāda pi Kunga kōjom un klausejōs Jō mōceibas. 40 Marta, turpretim, pyulējōs, ļūti aizjimta ar dažaidom pakolpōšonom. Jei, pīgōjuse klōt, saceja: Kungs, vai Tev navā nikaidu ryup’u par tū, ka muna mōsa atstōja mani vīnu pošu kolpojam? Pasok, lai jei maņ paleidz. 41 Bet Kungs atbiļdēja: Marta, Marta, tu pyulejīs un ryupejīs par daudz lītom, bet vīna ir vajadzeiga. 42 Marija sev izlaseja lobōkū daļu, kas nu jōs natiks atjimta.
