Глава 10

1 После сего избрал Господь и других семьдесят учеников, и послал их по два пред лицем Своим во всякий город и место, куда Сам хотел идти,

2 и сказал им: жатвы много, а делателей мало; итак, молите Господина жатвы, чтобы выслал делателей на жатву Свою.

3 Идите! Я посылаю вас, как агнцев среди волков.

4 Не берите ни мешка, ни сумы, ни обуви, и никого на дороге не приветствуйте.

5 В какой дом войдете, сперва говорите: мир дому сему;

6 и если будет там сын мира, то почиет на нем мир ваш, а если нет, то к вам возвратится.

7 And in that house ye shall remain, and eat and drink what they have: for he that laboureth is worthy of the reward of his labours; Do not move from house to house.

8 And if ye come to any city, and receive you, ye shall eat what is set before you,

9 and heal the sick that are in it, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is at hand unto you.

10 But if you come to any city and are not received, then when you go out into the street, say:

11 And the dust that is cleaved to us from your city, we shake it off to you; yet know that the Kingdom of God has drawn near to you.

12 I say unto you, that it shall be more pleasant for Sodom in that day than for that city.

13 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the powers manifested in you had been manifested in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes;

14 but both Tyre and Sidon will be more pleased in judgment than you.

15 And thou, O Capernaum, who hast ascended unto heaven, shalt thou descend unto hell.

16 He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.

17 And the seventy disciples returned with joy, and said, "Lord! and the demons obey us in Thy name.

18 And he said to them, 'I have seen Satan fall from heaven like lightning;

19 Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

20 Yet do not rejoice that the spirits obey you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
