2 And he said to them, 'The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest tosend labourers to do his harvesting.	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.
3 Start off now, but look, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.	3 Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.
4 Take no purse with you, no haversack, no sandals. Salute no one on the road.	4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.
5 Whatever house you enter, let your first words be, "Peace to this house!"	5 Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.

10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not make you welcome, go out into its streets and say,	10 But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say:
11 "We wipe off the very dust of your town that clings to our feet, and leave it with you. Yet be sure ofthis: the kingdom of God is very near."	11 Even the very dust of your city that cleaveth to us, we wipe off against you. Yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.
12 I tel you, on the great Day it wil be more bearable for Sodom than for that town.	12 I say to you, it shall be more tolerable at that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 'Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done inTyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.	13 Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida. For if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the mighty works that have been wrought in you, they would have done penance long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 And still, it wil be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the Judgement than for you.	14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgement, than for you.
15 And as for you, Capernaum, did you want to be raised high as heaven? You shal be flung down tohell.	15 And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven, thou shalt be thrust down to hell.
16 'Anyone who listens to you listens to me; anyone who rejects you rejects me, and those who rejectme reject the one who sent me.'	16 He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.

20 Yet do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you; rejoice instead that your names are written inheaven.'	20 But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.
21 Just at this time, fil ed with joy by the Holy Spirit, he said, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and ofearth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. Yes, Father,for that is what it has pleased you to do.	21 In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost, and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight.
22 Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except theFather, and who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.'	22 All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal him.

35 Next day, he took out two denari and handed them to the innkeeper and said, "Look after him, andon my way back I wil make good any extra expense you have."	35 And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.
36 Which of these three, do you think, proved himself a neighbour to the man who fel into the bandits'hands?'	36 Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?

40 Now Martha, who was distracted with all the serving, came to him and said, 'Lord, do you not carethat my sister is leaving me to do the serving al by myself? Please tel her to help me.'	40 But Martha was busy about much serving.
