A Samaritan Village Rejects Jesus
51 When the days drew near for (A)him to be taken up, (B)he set his face (C)to go to Jerusalem. 52 And (D)he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of (E)the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53 But (F)the people did not receive him, because (G)his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell (H)fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”[a] 55 But he turned and rebuked them.[b] 56 And they went on to another village.
The Cost of Following Jesus
57 As they were going (I)along the road, (J)someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 59 To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 And Jesus[c] said to him, “Leave (K)the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and (L)proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, (M)but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62 Jesus said to him, (N)“No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two
10 After this the Lord appointed (O)seventy-two[d] others and (P)sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 (Q)And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. (R)Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; (S)behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 (T)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and (U)greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, (V)‘Peace be to this house!’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, (W)it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for (X)the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, (Y)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 (Z)‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that (AA)the kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, (AB)it will be more bearable on (AC)that day for Sodom than for that town.
Woe to Unrepentant Cities
13 (AD)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in (AE)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 (AF)But it will be more bearable in the judgment for (AG)Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, (AH)will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to (AI)Hades.
16 (AJ)“The one who hears you hears me, and (AK)the one who rejects you rejects me, and (AL)the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
The Return of the Seventy-Two
17 (AM)The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, (AN)even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18 And he said to them, (AO)“I saw Satan (AP)fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority (AQ)to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of (AR)the enemy, and (AS)nothing shall hurt you. 20 (AT)Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that (AU)your names are written in heaven.”
Jesus Rejoices in the Father's Will
21 (AV)In that same hour (AW)he rejoiced (AX)in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, (AY)Lord of heaven and earth, that (AZ)you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and (BA)revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for (BB)such was your gracious will.[e] 22 (BC)All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is (BD)except the Father, or who the Father is (BE)except the Son and anyone (BF)to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23 Then turning to the disciples he said privately, (BG)“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 24 For I tell you (BH)that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”

Samaritan Opposition
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven,(A) Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.(B) 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan(C) village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John(D) saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[a]?”(E) 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.
The Cost of Following Jesus(F)
57 As they were walking along the road,(G) a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man(H) has no place to lay his head.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”(I)
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”(J)
61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”(K)
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two(L)(M)(N)
10 After this the Lord(O) appointed seventy-two[b] others(P) and sent them two by two(Q) ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.(R) 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.(S) 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.(T) 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
5 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages.(U) Do not move around from house to house.
8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.(V) 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God(W) has come near to you.’ 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you.(X) Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’(Y) 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom(Z) than for that town.(AA)
13 “Woe to you,(AB) Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth(AC) and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum,(AD) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[c]
16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”(AE)
17 The seventy-two(AF) returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”(AG)
18 He replied, “I saw Satan(AH) fall like lightning from heaven.(AI) 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes(AJ) and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”(AK)
21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.(AL) Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father.(AM) No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”(AN)
23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”(AO)
