2And He was saying to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

8"Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

8And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

9and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

9And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

10"But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

10But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

11Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'

13"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

13Woe 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.

14"But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

15And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

16"The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."

21At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I 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.

21In 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.

22"All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no 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."

23Turning to the disciples, He said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see,

23And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

24for 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."

34And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set 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 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.'

35And 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 repay thee.

39And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

40But Martha was distracted with 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."

40But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

41But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things;

41And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

42but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

42But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
