Luke 10
|
|
| 10:1
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. |
|
| 10:2
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. |
|
| 10:3
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. |
|
| 10:4
Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. |
|
| 10:5
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. |
|
| 10:6
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not,
it shall turn to you again. |
|
| 10:7
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. |
|
| 10:8
And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things
as are set before you: |
 "And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things
as are set before you."
What kind of animals may we eat?
 Disciples Sent Out
|
| 10:9
And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God
is come nigh unto you.
|
| 10:10
But into whatsoever
city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the
streets of the same, and say, |
 (10:10-15)
"It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city."
Entire cities will be
violently destroyed and the inhabitants "thrust down to hell" for not
"receiving" Jesus and his disciples.
|
| 10:11
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.
|
| 10:12
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that
city. |
|
| 10:13
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. |
|
| 10:14
But it shall be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. |
|
| 10:15
And thou, Capernaum,
which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. |
BOM: 2 Nephi 9:34, 36, 28:15
|
| 10:16
He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me;
and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. |
|
| 10:17
And the seventy
returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto
us through thy name. |
 (10:17-18)
"Even the devils are subject unto us."
The disciples are thrilled that
"even the devils are subject" to them.
|
| 10:18
And he said unto them, I
beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
|
| 10:19
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. |
"I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions ... and nothing shall by
any means hurt you."
What the Bible says about believers and
Christians
|
| 10:20
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto
you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. |
|
| 10:21
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."
Jesus thanks God that only the ignorant and foolish will listen to him.
|
| 10:22
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. |
|
| 10:23
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the
eyes which see the things that ye see: |
|
| 10:24
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. |
|
| 10:25
And, behold, a certain
lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit
eternal life? |
(10:25-28)
"Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
Jesus tells the lawyer that those who
love God and their neighbor will be saved.
How are people judged by God?
Is Salvation by faith alone?
What must you do to be saved?
|
| 10:26
He said unto him, What
is written in the law? how readest thou?
|
| 10:27
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.
|
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
What must you do to be saved?
How should nonbelievers be treated?
|
| 10:28
And he said unto him,
Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. |
|
| 10:29
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour? |
|
| 10:30
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. |
(10:30-37)
"Go, and do thou likewise."
The story of the good Samaritan gets my
vote for the best bible story. We should all "go and do likewise."
|
| 10:31
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw
him, he passed by on the other side. |
|
| 10:32
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him,
and passed by on the other side. |
|
| 10:33
But a certain
Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had
compassion on him, |
|
| 10:34
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. |
|
| 10:35
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. |
|
| 10:36
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell
among the thieves? |
|
| 10:37
And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do
thou likewise. |
|
| 10:38
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. |
|
| 10:39
And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard
his word. |
|
| 10:40
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. |
|
| 10:41
And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and
troubled about many things: |
|
| 10:42
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall
not be taken away from her.
