Chapter 10 of Luke—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Now after this 1the Lord appointed [a]seventy 2others, and sent them 3in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.
  2. And He was saying to them, “4The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.
  3. Go; 5behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.
  4. 6Carry no money belt, no [b]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 [c]man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
  7. Stay in [d]that house, eating and drinking [e]what they give you; for 7the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.
  8. Whatever city you enter and they receive you, 8eat what is set before you;
  9. and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘9The 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. ‘10Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet [f]be sure of this, that 11the kingdom of God has come near.’
  12. I say to you, 12it will be more tolerable in that day for 13Sodom than for that city.
  13. ¶ “14Woe to you, 15Chorazin! Woe to you, 16Bethsaida! For if the [g]miracles had been performed in 17Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in [h]18sackcloth and ashes.
  14. But it will be more tolerable for 19Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
  15. And you, 20Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!
  16. ¶ “21The one who listens to you listens to Me, and 22the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
  17. ¶ The [i]seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even 23the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
  18. And He said to them, “I was watching 24Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
  19. Behold, I have given you authority to 25tread 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 26your names are recorded in heaven.”
  21. 27At that very [j]time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I [k]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. 28All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and 29no 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. 30Turning 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. 31And a [l]32lawyer 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? [m]How does it read to you?”
  27. And he answered, “33YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”
  28. And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; 34DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE.”
  29. But wishing 35to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
  30. ¶ Jesus replied and said, “A man was 36going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and [n]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 37Samaritan, 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 [o]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 [p]the same.”
  38. ¶ Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named 38Martha welcomed Him into her home.
  39. She had a sister called 39Mary, who was 40seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word.
  40. But 41Martha was distracted with [q]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, “42Martha, Martha, you are 43worried and bothered about so many things;
  42. 44but only one thing is necessary, for 45Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
