今まさに明日からの受難週・Passion weekを前に、とても良い教えと学びをいただけたと感謝しています。


 


Luke 10 The Message (MSG)


10 10-12 "When you
enter a town and are not received, go out in the street and say, 'The only
thing we got from you is the dirt on our feet, and we're giving it back. Did
you have any idea that God's kingdom was right on your doorstep?' Sodom will
have it better on Judgment Day than the town that rejects you.


13-14 "Doom, Chorazin! Doom, Bethsaida! If Tyre and Sidon had been given
half the chances given you, they'd have been on their knees long ago, repenting
and crying for mercy. Tyre and Sidon will have it easy on Judgment Day compared
to you.


15 "And
you, Capernaum! Do you think you're about to be promoted to heaven? Think
again. You're on a mudslide to hell.


16 "The
one who listens to you, listens to me. The one who rejects you, rejects me. And
rejecting me is the same as rejecting God, who sent me."


17 The
seventy came back triumphant. "Master, even the demons danced to your tune!"


18-20 Jesus said, "I know. I saw Satan fall, a bolt of lightning out of
the sky. See what I've given you? Safe passage as you walk on snakes and
scorpions, and protection from every assault of the Enemy. No one can put a
hand on you. All the same, the great triumph is not in your authority over
evil, but in God's authority over you and presence with you. Not what you do
for God but what God does for you--that's the agenda for rejoicing."


21 At
that, Jesus rejoiced, exuberant in the Holy Spirit. "I thank you, Father,
Master of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the know-it-alls and
showed them to these innocent newcomers. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it
this way.


22 "I've
been given it all by my Father! Only the Father knows who the Son is and only
the Son knows who the Father is. The Son can introduce the Father to anyone he
wants to."


23-24 He then turned in a private aside to his disciples. "Fortunate the
eyes that see what you're seeing! There are plenty of prophets and kings who
would have given their right arm to see what you are seeing but never got so
much as a glimpse, to hear what you are hearing but never got so much as a
whisper."


Defining "Neighbor"


25 Just
then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus. "Teacher, what
do I need to do to get eternal life?"


26 He
answered, "What's written in God's Law? How do you interpret it?"


27 He
said, "That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and
muscle and intelligence--and that you love your neighbor as well as you do
yourself."


28 "Good
answer!" said Jesus. "Do it and you'll live."


29 Looking
for a loophole, he asked, "And just how would you define 'neighbor'?"


30-32 Jesus answered by telling a story. "There was once a man traveling
from Jerusalem to Jericho. On the way he was attacked by robbers. They took his
clothes, beat him up, and went off leaving him half-dead. Luckily, a priest was
on his way down the same road, but when he saw him he angled across to the
other side. Then a Levite religious man showed up; he also avoided the injured
man.


33-35 "A Samaritan traveling the road came on him. When he saw the man's
condition, his heart went out to him. He gave him first aid, disinfecting and
bandaging his wounds. Then he lifted him onto his donkey, led him to an inn,
and made him comfortable. In the morning he took out two silver coins and gave
them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take good care of him. If it costs any more,
put it on my bill--I'll pay you on my way back.'


36 "What
do you think? Which of the three became a neighbor to the man attacked by
robbers?"


37 "The
one who treated him kindly," the religion scholar responded.


Jesus said, "Go and do the same."


Mary and Martha


38-40 As they continued their travel, Jesus entered a village. A woman by
the name of Martha welcomed him and made him feel quite at home. She had a
sister, Mary, who sat before the Master, hanging on every word he said. But
Martha was pulled away by all she had to do in the kitchen. Later, she stepped
in, interrupting them. "Master, don't you care that my sister has abandoned the
kitchen to me? Tell her to lend me a hand."


41-42 The Master said, "Martha, dear Martha, you're fussing far too much
and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and
Mary has chosen it--it's the main course, and won't be taken from her."
