42:010:005 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

42:010:006 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

42:010:007 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.

42:010:008 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

42:010:009 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

42:010:010 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

42:010:011 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.

42:010:012 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

42:010:013 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.

42:010:014 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

42:010:015 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

42:010:016 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

42:010:017 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

42:010:018 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

42:010:019 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.

42:010:020 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

42:010:021 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.

42:010:022 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.

42:010:023 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

42:010:024 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.

42:010:025 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

42:010:026 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

42:010:027 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.

42:010:028 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

42:010:029 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

42:010:030 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.

42:010:031 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

42:010:032 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
