asv (asv) - eBible.org engASV USFM
1
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
2
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
3
This is he of whom it is written,
4
Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
5
Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
6
I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
7
And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
8
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.
9
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
10
They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.
11
For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
12
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
13
And wisdom is justified of all her children.
14
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
15
And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
16
and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
17
Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
18
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
19
A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.
20
When they had not
21
wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
22
Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
23
And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
24
Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
25
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.
26
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,
27
the same loveth little.
28
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
29
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
30
And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
31
And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,
32
and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
33
and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance.
34
And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:
35
The sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.
36
And other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
37
And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
38
And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
39
And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.
40
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
41
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
42
And those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

1
Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come.
2
And he said to them, The harvest indeed [is] great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest.
3
Go: behold I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.
4
Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on the way.
5
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house.
6
And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if not it shall turn to you again.
7
And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.
8
And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you,
9
and heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom ofGod is come nigh to you.
10
But into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11
Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom ofGod is come nigh.
12
I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.
13
Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
15
And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades.
16
He that hears you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.
17
And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.
18
And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven.
19
Behold, I give you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in anywise injure you.
20
Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.
21
In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
22
All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal [him].
23
And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.
24
For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold, and did not see [them]; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear [them].
25
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal?
26
And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27
But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thyGod with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28
And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live.
29
But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30
And Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into [the hands of] robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state.
31
And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side;
32
and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked [at him] and passed on on the opposite side.
33
But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing [him], was moved with compassion,
34
and came up [to him] and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to [the] inn and took care of him.
35
And on the morrow [as he left], taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, I will render to thee on my coming back.
36
Which [now] of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into [the hands of] the robbers?
37
And he said, He that shewed him mercy. And Jesus said to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38
And it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.
39
And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word.
40
Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me.
41
But Jesus answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things;
42
but there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her.

1
Post hæc autem designavit Dominus et alios septuaginta duos. et misit illos binos ante faciem suam in omnem civitatem, et locum, quo erat ipse venturus.
2
Et dicebat illis: Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci. Rogate ergo dominum messis ut mittat operarios in messem suam.
3
Ite: ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos.
4
Nolite portare sacculum, neque peram, neque calceamenta, et neminem per viam salutaveritis.
5
In quamcumque domum intraveritis, primum dicite: Pax huic domui:
6
et si ibi fuerit filius pacis, requiescet super illum pax vestra: sin autem, ad vos revertetur.
7
In eadem autem domo manete edentes, et bibentes quæ apud illos sunt: dignus est enim operarius mercede sua. Nolite transire de domo in domum.
8
Et in quamcumque civitatem intraveritis, et susceperint vos, manducate quæ apponuntur vobis:
9
et curate infirmos, qui in illa sunt, et dicite illis: Appropinquavit in vos regnum Dei.
10
In quamcumque autem civitatem intraveritis, et non susceperint vos, exeuntes in plateas eius, dicite:
11
Etiam pulverem, qui adhæsit nobis de civitate vestra, extergimus in vos: tamen hoc scitote, quia appropinquavit regnum Dei.
12
Dico vobis, quia Sodomis in die illa remissius erit, quam illi civitati.
13
Væ tibi Corozain, væ tibi Bethsaida: quia si in Tyro, et Sidone factæ fuissent virtutes, quæ factæ sunt in vobis, olim in cilicio, et cinere sedentes pœniterent.
14
Verumtamen Tyro, et Sidoni remissius erit in iudicio, quam vobis.
15
Et tu Capharnaum usque ad cælum exaltata, usque ad infernum demergeris.
16
Qui vos audit, me audit: et qui vos spernit, me spernit. Qui autem me spernit, spernit eum, qui misit me.
17
Reversi sunt autem septuaginta duo cum gaudio, dicentes: Domine, etiam dæmonia subiiciuntur nobis in nomine tuo.
18
Et ait illis: Videbam satanam sicut fulgor de cælo cadentem.
19
Ecce dedi vobis potestatem calcandi supra serpentes, et scorpiones, et super omnem virtutem inimici: et nihil vobis nocebit.
20
Verumtamen in hoc nolite gaudere quia spiritus vobis subiiciuntur: gaudete autem, quod nomina vestra scripta sunt in cælis.
21
In ipsa hora exultavit Spiritu sancto, et dixit: Confiteor tibi pater, Domine cæli et terræ, quod abscondisti hæc a sapientibus, et prudentibus, et revelasti ea parvulis. Etiam Pater: quoniam sic placuit ante te.
22
Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo scit quis sit Filius, nisi Pater: et quis sit Pater, nisi Filius, et cui voluerit Filius revelare.
23
Et conversus ad discipulos suos, dixit: Beati oculi, qui vident quæ vos videtis.
24
Dico enim vobis, quod multi prophetæ, et reges voluerunt videre quæ vos videtis, et non viderunt: et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.
25
Et ecce quidam Legisperitus surrexit tentans illum, et dicens: Magister, quid faciendo vitam æternam possidebo?
26
At ille dixit ad eum: In lege quid scriptum est? quomodo legis?
27
Ille respondens dixit: Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex omnibus virtutibus tuis, et ex omni mente tua: et proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
28
Dixitque illi: Recte respondisti: hoc fac, et vives.
29
Ille autem volens iustificare seipsum, dixit ad Iesum: Et quis est meus proximus?
30
Suscipiens autem Iesus, dixit: Homo quidam descendebat ab Ierusalem in Iericho, et incidit in latrones, qui etiam despoliaverunt eum: et plagis impositis abierunt semivivo relicto.
31
Accidit autem ut sacerdos quidam descenderet eadem via: et viso illo præterivit.
32
Similiter et Levita, cum esset secus locum, et videret eum, pertransiit.
33
Samaritanus autem quidam iter faciens, venit secus eum: et videns eum, misericordia motus est.
34
Et appropians alligavit vulnera eius, infundens oleum, et vinum: et imponens illum in iumentum suum, duxit in stabulum, et curam eius egit.
35
Et altera die protulit duos denarios, et dedit stabulario, et ait: Curam illius habe: et quodcumque supererogaveris, ego cum rediero reddam tibi.
36
Quis horum trium videtur tibi proximus fuisse illi, qui incidit in latrones?
37
At ille dixit: Qui fecit misericordiam in illum. Et ait illi Iesus: Vade, et tu fac similiter.
38
Factum est autem, dum irent, et ipse intravit in quoddam castellum: et mulier quædam Martha nomine, excepit illum in domum suam,
39
et huic erat soror nomine Maria, quæ etiam sedens secus pedes Domini, audiebat verbum illius.
40
Martha autem satagebat circa frequens ministerium: quæ stetit, et ait: Domine, non est tibi curæ quod soror mea reliquit me solam ministrare? dic ergo illi, ut me adiuvet.
41
Et respondens dixit illis Dominus: Martha, Martha, sollicita es, et turbaris erga plurima.
42
Porro unum est necessarium. Maria optimam partem elegit, quæ non auferetur ab ea.

1
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.
2
Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
3
Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4
Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5
Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
6
If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.
8
Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9
Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
10
But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11
‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
12
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done 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
You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.
16
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17
The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18
He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19
Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
20
Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21
In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
22
Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”
23
Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
24
for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
25
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26
He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27
He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
28
He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
30
Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33
But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35
On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’
36
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37
He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38
As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39
She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.
40
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”
41
Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42
but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

αποκριθεις δε ειπεν αυτη ο κυριος μαρθα μαρθα μεριμνας και θορυβαζη περι πολλα
42
ολιγων δε εστιν χρεια η ενος μαριαμ γαρ την αγαθην μεριδα εξελεξατο ητις ουκ αφαιρεθησεται αυτης

And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,
2
then said he unto them, `The harvest indeed <FI>is<Fi> abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.
3
`Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;
4
carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;
5
and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house;
6
and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.
7
`And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy <FI>is<Fi> the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,
8
and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,
9
and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.
10
`And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,
11
And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;
12
and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.
13
`Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;
14
but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.
15
`And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.
16
`He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'
17
And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;'
18
and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;
19
lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;
20
but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'
21
In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.
22
`All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal <FI>Him<Fi> .'
23
And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;
24
for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.'
25
And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'
26
And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?'
27
And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'
28
And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'
29
And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, `And who is my neighbour?'
30
and Jesus having taken up <FI>the word<Fi> , said, `A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving <FI>him<Fi> half dead.
31
`And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;
32
and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.
33
`But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,
34
and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;
35
and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.
36
`Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?'
37
and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'
38
And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,
39
and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,
40
and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.'
41
And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,
42
but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!

Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
