Luke 9:46Luke 10:42

 

The Test of Greatness
46 An argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest. 
47 But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking in their heart, took a child and stood him by His side, 
48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.”
49 John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name; and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow along with us.” 
50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you.”
51 When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem; 
52 and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him. 
53 But they did not receive Him, because He was traveling toward Jerusalem. 
54 When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 
55 But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; 
56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”] And they went on to another village.
Exacting Discipleship
57 As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.” 
58 And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 
59 And He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” 
60 But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.” 
61 Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home.” 
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
LUKE 10
The Seventy Sent Out
1 Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. 
2 And He was saying to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 
3 Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 
4 Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way. 
5 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; but if not, it will return to you. 
7 Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. 
8 Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you; 
9 and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 
10 But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 
11 ‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ 
12 I say to 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 had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. 
15 And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!
16 “The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
The Happy Results
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” 
18 And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. 
19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. 
20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.”
21 At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. 
22 All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
23 Turning to the disciples, He said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see, 
24 for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
25 And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 
26 And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?” 
27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heartand with all your souland with all your strengthand with all your mindand your neighbor as yourself.” 
28 And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.” 
29 But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
The Good Samaritan
30 Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. 
31 And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 
32 Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 
33 But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, 
34 and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 
35 On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’ 
36 Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands? 
37 And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”
Martha and Mary
38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 
39 She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. 
40 But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” 
41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; 
42 but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
