WHY JESUS MATTERS NOW EPISODE 11 OF 30
The Lord Appoints 70 and Instructs Them
Luke 10:1-13:21 - After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, where he himself would come.
2 Therefore said he unto them, ‘The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. 5 And into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, ‘The Kingdom of God is come near unto you.’
10 But into whatever city you enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaves on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be you sure of this, that the Kingdom of God is come near unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 13 Woe unto you, Chorazin! Woe unto you, 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 shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to Hades. 16 He that hears you hears me; and he that despises you despises me; and he that despises me despises him that sent me.’
‘I Saw Satan Fall as Lightning from Heaven’
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, ‘Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through your name.’
18 And he said unto them, ‘I beheld Satan as lightning fall 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 by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.’
Jesus Rejoices in Spirit
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, ‘I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.’
23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, ‘Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see: 24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.’
‘What Shall I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?’
25 And a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, ‘Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’
26 He said unto him, ‘What is written in the law? How do you read it?’
27 And he answering said, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your life, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.’
28 And he said unto him, ‘You have answered right: this do, and you shall live.’
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbor?’
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
30 And Jesus answering said, ‘A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34 And 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 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 whatever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you. 36 Which now of these three, do you think, was neighbor 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 likewise.’
Martha, Martha
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: 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 word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.’
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.’
‘Lord, Teach Us to Pray’
Luke 11:1 - And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.’
2 And he said unto them, ‘Pray after this manner: ‘Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.’
The Parable of the Loaves
5 And he said unto them, ‘Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 For a friend of my in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give you.
Ask, Seek, Knock
8 I say unto you: though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needs. 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
‘He Casts Out Devils by Beelzebub’
Luke 11:14 - And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered. 15 But some of them said, ‘He casts out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.’ 16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, ‘Every Kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falls. 18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his Kingdom stand? Because you say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore shall they be your judges. 20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the Kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed keeps his palace, his goods are in peace: 22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divided his spoils. 23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gather not with me, scatters.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he said, I will return unto my house what I came out. 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished. 26 Then goes he, and takes to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.’
27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bare you, and the breasts which you have sucked.’
28 But he said, ‘Yes rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.’
This is An Evil Generation
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, ‘This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the Wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 33 No man, when he has lighted a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light; but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in you be not darkness. 36 If your whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle does give you light.’
Jesus Dines with a Pharisee
37 And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, ‘Now do you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 You fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? 41 But rather give good deeds of such things as you have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! For you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for you are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying you reproach us also.
46 And he said, ‘Woe unto you also, you lawyers! For you lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you! For you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 Truly you bear witness that you allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: truly I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you lawyers; for you have taken away the key of knowledge. You entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered.’
53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: 54 laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
‘Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees’
Luke 12:1 - In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people insomuch that they trampled each other, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, ‘Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 And I say unto you my friends, don’t be afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Fear God
5 ‘But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into the grave (Hades); yes, I say unto you, Fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows. 8 Also I say unto you, whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 9 but he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. 11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take you no thought how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say: 12 For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what you ought to say.’
13 And one of the company said unto him, ‘Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.’
14 And he said unto him, ‘Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.’
The Lord Appoints 70 and Instructs Them
Luke 10:1-13:21 - After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, where he himself would come.

‘I Saw Satan Fall as Lightning from Heaven’
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, ‘Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through your name.’
18 And he said unto them, ‘I beheld Satan as lightning fall 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 by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.’

25 And a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, ‘Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’
26 He said unto him, ‘What is written in the law? How do you read it?’
27 And he answering said, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your life, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.’
28 And he said unto him, ‘You have answered right: this do, and you shall live.’
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbor?’
