1 N ow after this the Lord chose and appointed seventy others and sent them out ahead of Him, two by two, into every town and place where He Himself was about to come (visit).

Depois disso designou o Senhor outros setenta, e os enviou adiante de si, de dois em dois, a todas as cidades e lugares aonde ele havia de ir.

2 A nd He said to them, The harvest indeed is abundant '> there is much ripe grain], but the farmhands are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

E dizia-lhes: Na verdade, a seara é grande, mas os trabalhadores são poucos; rogai, pois, ao Senhor da seara que mande trabalhadores para a sua seara.

3 G o your way; behold, I send you out like lambs into the midst of wolves.

Ide; eis que vos envio como cordeiros ao meio de lobos.

4 C arry no purse, no provisions bag, no sandals; refrain from saluting and wishing anyone well along the way.

Não leveis bolsa, nem alforge, nem alparcas; e a ninguém saudeis pelo caminho.

5 W hatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this household! '> Freedom from all the distresses that result from sin be with this family].

Em qualquer casa em que entrardes, dizei primeiro: Paz seja com esta casa.

6 A nd if anyone of peace and blessedness is there, the peace and blessedness you wish shall come upon him; but if not, it shall come back to you.

E se ali houver um filho da paz, repousará sobre ele a vossa paz; e se não, voltará para vós.

7 A nd stay on in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.

Ficai nessa casa, comendo e bebendo do que eles tiverem; pois digno é o trabalhador do seu salário. Não andeis de casa em casa.

8 W henever you go into a town and they receive and accept and welcome you, eat what is set before you;

Também, em qualquer cidade em que entrardes, e vos receberem, comei do que puserem diante de vós.

9 A nd heal the sick in it and say to them, The kingdom of God has come close to you.

Curai os enfermos que nela houver, e dizer-lhes: É chegado a vós o reino de Deus.

10 B ut whenever you go into a town and they do not receive and accept and welcome you, go out into its streets and say,

Mas em qualquer cidade em que entrardes, e vos não receberem, saíndo pelas ruas, dizei:

11 E ven the dust of your town that clings to our feet we are wiping off against you; yet know and understand this: the kingdom of God has come near you.

Até o pó da vossa cidade, que se nos pegou aos pés, sacudimos contra vós. Contudo, sabei isto: que o reino de Deus é chegado.

12 I tell you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that town.

Digo-vos que naquele dia haverá menos rigor para Sodoma, do que para aquela cidade.

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

Ai de ti, Corazim! ai de ti, Betsaida! Porque, se em Tiro e em Sidom se tivessem operado os milagres que em vós se operaram, há muito, sentadas em cilício e cinza, elas se teriam arrependido.

14 H owever, it shall be more tolerable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.

Contudo, para Tiro e Sidom haverá menos rigor no juízo do que para vós.

15 A nd you, Capernaum, will you be exalted unto heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades (the regions of the dead).

E tu, Cafarnaum, porventura serás elevada até o céu? até o hades descerás.

16 H e who hears and heeds you hears and heeds Me; and he who slights and rejects you slights and rejects Me; and he who slights and rejects Me slights and rejects Him who sent Me.

Quem vos ouve, a mim me ouve; e quem vos rejeita, a mim me rejeita; e quem a mim me rejeita, rejeita aquele que me enviou.

17 T he seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!

Voltaram depois os setenta com alegria, dizendo: Senhor, em teu nome, até os demônios se nos submetem.

18 A nd He said to them, I saw Satan falling like a lightning from heaven.

Respondeu-lhes ele: Eu via Satanás, como raio, cair do céu.

19 B ehold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power that the enemy; and nothing shall in any way harm you.

Eis que vos dei autoridade para pisar serpentes e escorpiões, e sobre todo o poder do inimigo; e nada vos fará dano algum.

20 N evertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven.

Contudo, não vos alegreis porque se vos submetem os espíritos; alegrai-vos antes por estarem os vossos nomes escritos nos céus.

21 I n that same hour He rejoiced and gloried in the Holy Spirit and said, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have concealed these things from the wise and understanding and learned, and revealed them to babes (the childish, unskilled, and untaught). Yes, Father, for such was Your gracious will and choice and good pleasure.

Naquela mesma hora exultou Jesus no Espírito Santo, e disse: Graças te dou, ó Pai, Senhor do céu e da terra, porque ocultaste estas coisas aos sábios e entendidos, e as revelaste aos pequeninos; sim, ó Pai, porque assim foi do teu agrado.

22 A ll things have been given over into My power by My Father; and no one knows Who the Son is except the Father, or Who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son may choose to reveal and make Him known.

Todas as coisas me foram entregues por meu Pai; e ninguém conhece quem é o Filho senão o Pai, nem quem é o Pai senão o Filho, e aquele a quem o Filho o quiser revelar.

23 T hen turning to His disciples, He said privately, Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those whose eyes see what you see!

E voltando-se para os discípulos, disse-lhes em particular: Bem-aventurados os olhos que vêem o que vós vedes.

24 F or I tell you that many prophets and kings longed to see what you see and they did not see it, and to hear what you hear and they did not hear it.

Pois vos digo que muitos profetas e reis desejaram ver o que vós vedes, e não o viram; e ouvir o que ouvis, e não o ouviram.

25 A nd then a certain lawyer arose to try (test, tempt) Him, saying, Teacher, what am I to do to inherit everlasting life ?

E eis que se levantou certo doutor da lei e, para o experimentar, disse: Mestre, que farei para herdar a vida eterna?

26 J esus said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it?

Perguntou-lhe Jesus: Que está escrito na lei? Como lês tu?

27 A nd he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.

Respondeu-lhe ele: Amarás ao Senhor teu Deus de todo o teu coração, de toda a tua alma, de todas as tuas forças e de todo o teu entendimento, e ao teu próximo como a ti mesmo.

28 A nd Jesus said to him, You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.

Tornou-lhe Jesus: Respondeste bem; faze isso, e viverás.

29 A nd he, determined to acquit himself of reproach, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

Ele, porém, querendo justificar-se, perguntou a Jesus: E quem é o meu próximo?

30 J esus, taking him up, replied, A certain man was going from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothes and belongings and beat him and went their way, '> unconcernedly] leaving him half dead, as it happened.

Jesus, prosseguindo, disse: Um homem descia de Jerusalém a Jericó, e caiu nas mãos de salteadores, os quais o despojaram e espancando-o, se retiraram, deixando-o meio morto.

31 N ow by coincidence a certain priest was going down along that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

Casualmente, descia pelo mesmo caminho certo sacerdote; e vendo-o, passou de largo.

32 A Levite likewise came down to the place and saw him, and passed by on the other side.

De igual modo também um levita chegou

33 B ut a certain Samaritan, as he traveled along, came down to where he was; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity and sympathy,

Mas um samaritano, que ia de viagem, chegou perto dele e, vendo-o, encheu-se de compaixão;

34 A nd went to him and dressed his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

e aproximando-se, atou-lhe as feridas, deitando nelas azeite e vinho; e pondo-o sobre a sua cavalgadura, levou-o para uma estalagem e cuidou dele.

35 A nd the next day he took out two denarii and gave to the innkeeper, saying, Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I return.

No dia seguinte tirou dois denários, deu-os ao hospedeiro e disse-lhe: Cuida dele; e tudo o que gastares a mais, eu to pagarei quando voltar.

36 W hich of these three do you think proved himself a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?

Qual, pois, destes três te parece ter sido o próximo daquele que caiu nas mãos dos salteadores?

37 H e answered, The one who showed pity and mercy to him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise.

Respondeu o doutor da lei: Aquele que usou de misericórdia para com ele. Disse-lhe, pois, Jesus: Vai, e faze tu o mesmo.

38 N ow while they were on their way, it occurred that Jesus entered a certain village, and a woman named Martha received and welcomed Him into her house.

Ora, quando iam de caminho, entrou Jesus numa aldeia; e certa mulher, por nome Marta, o recebeu em sua casa.

39 A nd she had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at the Lord’s feet and was listening to His teaching.

Tinha esta uma irmã chamada Maria, a qual, sentando-se aos pés do Senhor, ouvia a sua palavra.

40 B ut Martha was distracted with much serving; and she came up to Him and said, Lord, is it nothing to You that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me!

Marta, porém, andava preocupada com muito serviço; e aproximando-se, disse: Senhor, não se te dá que minha irmã me tenha deixado a servir sozinha? Dize-lhe, pois, que me ajude.

41 B ut the Lord replied to her by saying, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things;

Respondeu-lhe o Senhor: Marta, Marta, estás ansiosa e perturbada com muitas coisas;

42 T here is need of only one or but a few things. Mary has chosen the good portion '> that which is to her advantage], which shall not be taken away from her.

entretanto poucas são necessárias, ou mesmo uma só; e Maria escolheu a boa parte, a qual não lhe será tirada.
