Luke 10
Luke 10 is the tenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It records the sending of seventy disciples by Jesus, the famous parable about the Good Samaritan, and his visit to the house of Mary and Martha. This Gospel's author, who also wrote the Acts of the Apostles, is not named but is uniformly identified by early Christian tradition as Luke the Evangelist.
The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 42 verses. Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:
Luke's gospel is the only one which includes this narrative. Protestant theologian Heinrich Meyer calls this section (verses 1–16) the "Narrative of the Seventy" and links it to the earlier account of the sending out of advance messengers in Luke 9:52. The return of the seventy concludes this section (verses 17–20). This passage includes Jesus's assertion that "the laborer is worthy of his wages", which is reflected in similar wording in 1 Timothy 5:18:
The first of these statements is found at Deuteronomy 25:4, but the second statement is not found in the Old Testament, leading to the suggestion that the author of the letter to Timothy may have referred to Luke or the equivalent verse in Matthew.
Some manuscripts refer to seventy-two others. The manuscript evidence "is fairly divided, and it is not easy to conclude what Luke actually wrote. The Textus Receptus refers to 70, but other critical texts note the word δύο, duo, as a potential addition. Both alternatives are linked to the two Old Testament episodes which Eric Franklin considers potentially to have been reflected in Luke's account:
While there may literally have been wolves in the path of the seventy, the warning may also be understood figuratively as referring to "personal, communal and structural" obstacles which stand in the way of evangelisation.
Franklin suggests that in this verse, the "embrace" of the kingdom of God reaches those who respond favourably to the message. Kenneth N. Taylor, in his paraphrase of Luke, has the offer of the kingdom given especially to those who are healed:
Verse 11 repeats "that the kingdom of God has come near you", but this verse also points to it being near those who reject the messengers.
