*: Mark 10:1
1: The seventy are sent as the second forewarners of the coming of
Christ.
*: Matthew 9:37
*: Matthew 10:16
2: The faithful ministers of the word are in this world, as lambs
among wolves: but if they be diligent to do their duty, he that sent
them will also preserve them.
*: 2 Kings 4:29
a: This is spoken after the manner of a figure, which men use when
they put down more in words then is meant: usual among the Hebrews,
when they command a thing to be done speedily without delay, as 2
Kings 4:29 for otherwise courteous and gentle salutations, are points
of Christian duties: as for the calling, it was but for a season.
*: Matthew 10:12
Mark 6:10
b: So speak the Hebrews: that is, he that favoureth the doctrine of
peace and embraceth it.
c: Take up your lodging in that house, which ye first enter into,
that is, be not careful for commodious lodging, as men do which
purpose to tarry long in a place: for here is not instituted that
solemn preaching of the Gospel, which was used afterward, when the
Churches were settled: but these are sent abroad to all the coasts
of Judea, to give them to understand, that the last jubilee is at
hand.

John 13:20
4: Neither the gift of miracles, neither what else soever excellent
gift, but only our election giveth us occasion of true joy. And the
only publishing of the gospel is the destruction of Satan.
e: For Christ's disciples used no absolute authority, but wrought
such miracles, as they did by calling upon Christ's name.
f: Paul placeth the devil and his angels, in the air, as Ephesians
6:12 and he is said to be cast down from thence by force, when his
power is abolished by the voice of the gospel.
g: Shall do you wrong.
5: The Church is contemptible, if we behold the outward face of it,
but the wisdom of god is not so marvellous in any thing, as in it.
h: Of this world.
||: Then he turned to his disciples, and said, is read in some
couples.
6: Whosoever seeketh the father without the son, wandereth out of
the way.

measure of revelation.

law.

laws of Moses.

in this sense.

Chapter 10
1. The seventy disciples. 10. The unthankful cities charged with
impiety. 17. The disciples returning home, are warned to be humble.
30. Who is our neighbour. 38. Of Martha and her sister Mary.
After *1 these things,
the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two
before him, into every city and place, whither he himself should
come.
2 And he said unto them, * The harvest is great, but the labourers are few: pray therefore the lord
of the harvest to sent forth labourers into his harvest.
3 2 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lamb among
wolves.
4 Bear no bag,
neither scrip, nor shoes, and * salute a no man by the way.
5 * And into
whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the
b son of peace be there,
your peace shall rest upon him, if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in that
house c tarry
still, eating and drinking such things as by them shall be set before you: * for the labourer is worthy of his wages. Go not from
house to house.
8 * But into
whatsoever city ye shall enter, if they receive you, d eat such things as are set
before you,
9 And heal the sick
that are there, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come near
unto you.
10 3 But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, if they will not
receive you, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and
say,
11 Even the
very * dust which cleaveth on us of your
city, we wipe off against you: notwithstanding know this, that the
kingdom of God was come near unto you.
12 For I say unto
you, that it shall be easier in that day for them of Sodom, then for
that city.
13 * Woe be to thee, Chorazin: woe
be to thee, Bethsaida:
for if the miracles 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.
14 Therefore it
shall be easier for Tyre, and Sidon, at the judgement, then for you.
15 And thou,
Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16 ¶* He that
heareth you, heareth me: and he that dispiseth you, dispiseth me: and
he that dispiseth me, dispiseth him that sent me.
17 ¶4 And
the seventy turned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are
subdued to us e through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I saw Satan, like lightening, f fall down from heaven.
19 Behold, I give
unto you power to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy, and nothing shall g hurt you.
20 Nevertheless, in
this rejoice not, that the spirits are subdued unto you: but rather
rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 ¶5 That
same hour rejoiced Jesus in the spirit, and said, I
confess unto thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast
hid these things from the h wise and understanding, and hath revealed them to babes:
even so, Father, because it so pleased thee. ||
22 6 All things are given me of my father: and no men knoweth
who the son is, but the father: neither who the father is, save the
son, and he to whom the son will reveal him.
23 ¶7 And he
turned to his disciples, and said secretly, * Blessed are
the eyes, which see that ye see.
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.
25 ¶*8
Then behold, i a certain
lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?
26 And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answered, and said, * Thou
shalt love thy lord God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy strength, and with all thy thought, * and thy
neighbour as thyself.
28 Then he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt
live.
29 9 But he
willing j to justify himself, said unto
Jesus, Who is then my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answered, and said,
A certain man went down form Jerusalem to Jericho,
and fell among thieves, and they robbed him of his raiment, and
wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 Now so it fell
out, that there came down a certain priest that same way, and when he
saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise
also a Levite, when he was come near to the place, went and looked
on him, and passed by
on the other side.
33 Then a certain
Samaritan, as he journeyed, came near unto him, and when he saw him,
he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him,
and bound up his wounds, and poured in oil and wine, and put him on
his own beast, and brought him to an Inn, and made provision for him.
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 recompense thee.
36 Which now of
these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among
the thieves?
37 And he said, He that showed mercy
on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou
likewise.
38 ¶10 Now
it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town,
and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary,
which also sat at Jesus feet, and heard his preaching.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much
serving, and came to him, and said, Master, doest thou not care that
my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she
help me.
41 And Jesus answered, and said unto
her, Martha, Martha, thou carest, and art troubled
about many things:
42 But one thing is
needfull, Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken
away from her.
