9:46. And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater. 9:47. But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and set him by him, 9:48. And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater. 9:49. And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name: and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. 9:50. And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you. 9:51. And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. 9:52. And he sent messengers before his face: and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him. 9:53. And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem. 9:54. And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them? 9:55. And turning, he rebuked them, saying: you know not of what spirit you are. 9:56. The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town. 9:57. And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 9:58. Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 9:59. But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and to bury my father. 9:60. And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 9:61. And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house. 9:62. Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. Luke Chapter 10 Christ sends forth and instructs his seventy-two disciples. The good Samaritan. 10:1. And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come. 10:2. And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest. 10:3. Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves. 10:4. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. 10:5. Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house. 10:6. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you. 10:7. And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.
