Luke 10

Introduction

1	Christ sends out at once seventy disciples to work miracles, and to preach;
13	pronounces a woe against certain cities.
17	The seventy return with joy; he shows them wherein to rejoice, and thanks his Father for his grace;
23	magnifies the happy estate of his church;
25	teaches the lawyer how to attain eternal life, and to take every one for his neighbour that needs his mercy;
38	reprehends Martha, and commends Mary her sister.
