Luke 11:1-13 1  It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.”  2  And He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. 3  ‘Give us each day our daily bread. 4  ‘And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.’” 5  Then He said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves;  6  for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;  7  and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you  anything. ’  8  “I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him  anythin...

Luke 10:38-42 38  Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.  39  She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word.  40  But 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.”  41  But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things;  42  but  only  one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” As Jesus and His disciples traveled from place to place, they depended on the hospitality of people who would host them and meet their physical needs.  The home of Martha, Mary and Lazarus was one of those places.  They considered it an honor to host Jesus and the discipl...

Luke 10:25-37 25  And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”  26  And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?”  27  And he answered, “YOU SHALL 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.”  28  And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE.”  29  But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30  Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.  31  “And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.  32  “Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the pl...

Luke 10:13-24 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.  14  “But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.  15  “And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades! 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.”  17  The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”  18  And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.  19  “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.  20  “Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are sub...

Luke 10:1-12 1  Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.  2  And 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.  3  “Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.  4  “Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.  5  “Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace  be  to this house.’  6  “If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.  7  “Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.  8  “Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;  9  and heal those in it who are sick, and say ...
