The Sending of the Seventy-Two
Jesus appointed seventy-two others and sent them out two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he himself was about to go. He said, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. Go! I am sending you like lambs among wolves." The seventy-two returned with joy and reported that even the evil spirits were subject to them in Jesus' name. He answered, "Rejoice rather that your names are written in heaven."
Luc 10,1-24
1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.
Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἀνέδειξεν ὁ κύριος ⸀καὶ ἑτέρους ἑβδομήκοντα ⸀δύο καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἀνὰ δύο ⸁δύο πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ εἰς πᾶσαν πόλιν καὶ τόπον οὗ ἤμελλεν αὐτὸς ἔρχεσθαι.
2He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. So pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
ἔλεγεν ⸀δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· Ὁ μὲν θερισμὸς πολύς, οἱ δὲ ἐργάται ὀλίγοι· δεήθητε οὖν τοῦ κυρίου τοῦ θερισμοῦ ὅπως ⸂ἐργάτας ἐκβάλῃ⸃ εἰς τὸν θερισμὸν αὐτοῦ.
3Go! Look, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
ὑπάγετε· ⸀ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω ὑμᾶς ὡς ἄρνας ἐν μέσῳ λύκων.
4Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals, and greet no one along the road.
μὴ βαστάζετε βαλλάντιον, μὴ πήραν, ⸀μὴ ὑποδήματα, καὶ μηδένα κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἀσπάσησθε.
5Whatever house you enter, say first, 'Peace to this house.'
εἰς ἣν δʼ ἂν ⸂εἰσέλθητε οἰκίαν⸃ πρῶτον λέγετε· Εἰρήνη τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ.
6If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
καὶ ἐὰν ⸂ᾖ ἐκεῖ⸃ υἱὸς εἰρήνης, ἐπαναπαήσεται ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἡ εἰρήνη ὑμῶν· εἰ δὲ μήγε, ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἀνακάμψει.
7Stay in that same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move from house to house.
ἐν αὐτῇ δὲ τῇ οἰκίᾳ μένετε, ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες τὰ παρʼ αὐτῶν, ἄξιος γὰρ ὁ ἐργάτης τοῦ μισθοῦ ⸀αὐτοῦ. μὴ μεταβαίνετε ἐξ οἰκίας εἰς οἰκίαν.
8Whenever you enter a town and they welcome you, eat what is set before you.
καὶ εἰς ἣν ἂν πόλιν εἰσέρχησθε καὶ δέχωνται ὑμᾶς, ἐσθίετε τὰ παρατιθέμενα ὑμῖν,
9Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
καὶ θεραπεύετε τοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ ἀσθενεῖς, καὶ λέγετε αὐτοῖς· Ἤγγικεν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.
10But whenever you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say,
εἰς ἣν δʼ ἂν πόλιν ⸀εἰσέλθητε καὶ μὴ δέχωνται ὑμᾶς, ἐξελθόντες εἰς τὰς πλατείας αὐτῆς εἴπατε·
11'Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has come near.'
Καὶ τὸν κονιορτὸν τὸν κολληθέντα ἡμῖν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ὑμῶν ⸂εἰς τοὺς πόδας⸃ ἀπομασσόμεθα ὑμῖν· πλὴν τοῦτο γινώσκετε ὅτι ⸀ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.
12I tell you, on that day it will be more bearable for Sodom than for that town.
λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι Σοδόμοις ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀνεκτότερον ἔσται ἢ τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ.
13Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Οὐαί σοι, Χοραζίν· οὐαί σοι, Βηθσαϊδά· ὅτι εἰ ἐν Τύρῳ καὶ Σιδῶνι ⸀ἐγενήθησαν αἱ δυνάμεις αἱ γενόμεναι ἐν ὑμῖν, πάλαι ἂν ἐν σάκκῳ καὶ σποδῷ ⸀καθήμενοι μετενόησαν.
14But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
πλὴν Τύρῳ καὶ Σιδῶνι ἀνεκτότερον ἔσται ἐν τῇ κρίσει ἢ ὑμῖν.
15And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades.
καὶ σύ, Καφαρναούμ, ⸂μὴ ἕως οὐρανοῦ ὑψωθήσῃ⸃; ἕως ⸀τοῦ ᾅδου ⸀καταβιβασθήσῃ.
16Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me; and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me."
Ὁ ἀκούων ὑμῶν ἐμοῦ ἀκούει, καὶ ὁ ἀθετῶν ὑμᾶς ἐμὲ ἀθετεῖ· ὁ δὲ ἐμὲ ἀθετῶν ἀθετεῖ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.
17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name!"
Ὑπέστρεψαν δὲ οἱ ἑβδομήκοντα ⸀δύο μετὰ χαρᾶς λέγοντες· Κύριε, καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ὑποτάσσεται ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου.
18He said to them, "I watched Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς· Ἐθεώρουν τὸν Σατανᾶν ὡς ἀστραπὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεσόντα.
19Look, I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will ever harm you.
ἰδοὺ ⸀δέδωκα ὑμῖν τὴν ἐξουσίαν τοῦ πατεῖν ἐπάνω ὄφεων καὶ σκορπίων, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ἐχθροῦ, καὶ οὐδὲν ὑμᾶς οὐ μὴ ⸀ἀδικήσῃ.
20Yet do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you; rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
πλὴν ἐν τούτῳ μὴ χαίρετε ὅτι τὰ πνεύματα ὑμῖν ὑποτάσσεται, χαίρετε δὲ ὅτι τὰ ὀνόματα ὑμῶν ⸀ἐγγέγραπται ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
21At that very hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἠγαλλιάσατο ⸀τῷ πνεύματι ⸂τῷ ἁγίῳ⸃ καὶ εἶπεν· Ἐξομολογοῦμαί σοι, πάτερ κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἀπέκρυψας ταῦτα ἀπὸ σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν, καὶ ἀπεκάλυψας αὐτὰ νηπίοις· ναί, ὁ πατήρ, ὅτι οὕτως ⸂εὐδοκία ἐγένετο⸃ ἔμπροσθέν σου.
22All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
⸀πάντα μοι παρεδόθη ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ οὐδεὶς γινώσκει τίς ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ, καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ πατὴρ εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱὸς καὶ ᾧ ⸀ἐὰν βούληται ὁ υἱὸς ἀποκαλύψαι.
23Then he turned to the disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
Καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς κατʼ ἰδίαν εἶπεν· Μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ οἱ βλέποντες ἃ βλέπετε.
24For I tell you, many prophets and kings longed to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear and did not hear it."
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ προφῆται καὶ βασιλεῖς ἠθέλησαν ἰδεῖν ἃ ὑμεῖς βλέπετε καὶ οὐκ εἶδαν, καὶ ἀκοῦσαι ἃ ἀκούετε καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν.
