Luke Chapter 10 ISV -
Luk 10:1  After this, the Lord appointed seventy other disciples and was about to send them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place that he intended to go. 
Luk 10:2  So he instructed them, "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers out into his harvest. 
Luk 10:3  Get going! See, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 
Luk 10:4  Don't carry a wallet, a traveling bag, or sandals, and don't greet anyone on the way. 
Luk 10:5  "Whatever house you go into, first say, 'May there be peace in this house.' 
Luk 10:6  If a peaceful person lives there, your greeting of peace will remain with him. But if that's not the case, your greeting will come back to you. 
Luk 10:7  Stay with the same family, eating and drinking whatever they provide, because the worker deserves his pay. Don't move from house to house. 
Luk 10:8  "Whenever you go into a town and the people welcome you, eat whatever they serve you, 
Luk 10:9  heal the sick that are there, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you!' 
Luk 10:10  But whenever you go into a town and people don't welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 
Luk 10:11  'We are wiping off your town's dust that clings to our feet in protest against you! But realize this: the kingdom of God is near!' 
Luk 10:12  I tell you, on the last day it will be easier for Sodom than for that town!" 
Luk 10:13  "How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 
Luk 10:14  It will be easier for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you! 
Luk 10:15  And you, Capernaum! You won't be lifted up to heaven, will you? You'll go down to Hell! 
Luk 10:16  The person who listens to you listens to me, and the person who rejects you rejects me. The person who rejects me rejects the one who sent me." 
Luk 10:17  The seventy disciples came back and joyously reported, "Lord, even the demons are submitting to us in your name!" 
Luk 10:18  He told them, "I watched Satan falling from heaven like lightning. 
Luk 10:19  Look! I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to destroy all the enemy's power, and nothing will ever hurt you. 
Luk 10:20  However, stop rejoicing because the spirits are submitting to you. Rather, rejoice because your names are written in heaven." 
Luk 10:21  At that moment, the Holy Spirit made Jesus extremely joyful, so Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this is what was pleasing to you. 
Luk 10:22  "All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and the person to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." 
Luk 10:23  Then turning to his disciples in private, he told them, "How blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 
Luk 10:24  Because I tell you, many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn't see them, and to hear the things you hear but didn't hear them." 
Luk 10:25  Just then an expert in the Law stood up to test Jesus. He asked, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 
Luk 10:26  Jesus answered him, "What is written in the Law? What do you read there?" 
Luk 10:27  He answered, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And you must love your neighbor as yourself." 
Luk 10:28  Jesus told him, "You have answered correctly. 'Do this, and you will live.'" 
Luk 10:29  But the man wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 
Luk 10:30  After careful consideration, Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. 
Luk 10:31  By chance, a priest was traveling along that road. When he saw the man, he went by on the other side. 
Luk 10:32  Similarly, a descendant of Levi came to that place. When he saw the man, he also went by on the other side. 
Luk 10:33  But as he was traveling along, a Samaritan came across the man. When the Samaritan saw him, he was moved with compassion. 
Luk 10:34  He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 
Luk 10:35  The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take good care of him. If you spend more than that, I'll repay you when I come back.' 
Luk 10:36  "Of these three men, who do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the bandits?" 
Luk 10:37  He said, "The one who showed mercy to him." Jesus told him, "Go and do what he did." 
Luk 10:38  Now as they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 
Luk 10:39  She had a sister named Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and kept listening to what he was saying. 
Luk 10:40  But Martha was worrying about all the things she had to do, so she came to him and asked, "Lord, you do care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself, don't you? Then tell her to help me." 
Luk 10:41  The Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things. 
Luk 10:42  But there's only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her." 

Daniel Chapter 2 ISV -
Dan 2:1  Now during the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled him. As a result, he couldn't sleep. 
Dan 2:2  So the king gave orders to summon the diviners, the enchanters, sorcerers, and Chaldeans to reveal to the king what he had dreamed. When they came and stood before him, 
Dan 2:3  the king told them, "I have dreamed a dream and I will remain troubled until I can understand it." 
Dan 2:4  The Chaldeans responded to the king in Aramaic: "May the king live forever. Tell the dream to your servants, and we'll reveal its meaning." 
Dan 2:5  In reply the king told the Chaldeans, "Here is what I have commanded: If you don't tell me both the dream and its meaning, you'll be destroyed and your houses will be reduced to rubble. 
Dan 2:6  But if you do relate the dream to me as well as its meaning, you'll receive gifts, rewards, and great honor from me. Therefore reveal the dream to me, along with its meaning." 
Dan 2:7  They replied again, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we'll disclose its meaning." 
Dan 2:8  The king responded, "I'm convinced that you're stalling for time because you're aware of what I've commanded. 
Dan 2:9  So if you don't disclose the dream to me, there will be only one sentence for all of you. You have conspired together to present lies and corrupt interpretations until the situation changes. Now tell me the dream and I'll know that you can reveal its true meaning." 
Dan 2:10  The Chaldeans answered the king directly, "There's not a single man on earth who can do what the king has commanded. No king, lord, or ruler has ever asked such a thing from any diviner, enchanter, or Chaldean. 
Dan 2:11  Furthermore, what the king is asking is so difficult that no one can reveal it except the gods—and they don't live with human beings." 
Dan 2:12  At this point, the king flew into a rage and issued an order to destroy all the advisors of Babylon. 
Dan 2:13  When the order went out to kill the advisors, they searched for Daniel and his friends to kill them, too. 
Dan 2:14  Daniel responded with wisdom and discretion to Arioch, the king's executioner, who had gone out to execute the advisors of Babylon. 
Dan 2:15  He asked him, "Why such a harsh decree from the king?" Then Arioch informed Daniel, 
Dan 2:16  so Daniel went to ask Nebuchadnezzar for an appointment to see him, and it was granted him so that he could reveal the meaning to the king. 
Dan 2:17  Then Daniel went home and told his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah about the king's command. 
Dan 2:18  Daniel was seeking mercy, in order to ask about this mystery in the presence of the God of heaven, so that Daniel and his friends might not be executed along with the rest of the advisors of Babylon. 
Dan 2:19  When the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision later that night, Daniel blessed the God of heaven 
Dan 2:20  and said, "May the name of God be blessed forever and ever; wisdom and power are his for evermore. 
Dan 2:21  It is God who alters the times and seasons, and he removes kings and promotes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. 
Dan 2:22  He reveals what is profoundly mysterious and knows what is in the darkness; with him dwells light. 
Dan 2:23  To you, God of my ancestors, I give thanks and praise, because you have given me wisdom and power; you have now revealed to me what we asked of you by making known to us what the king commanded." 
Dan 2:24  After this, Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the advisors of Babylon. He told him, "Don't destroy the advisors of Babylon. Bring me before the king and I'll explain the meaning to him." 
Dan 2:25  Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel into the king's presence and informed him: "I've found a man from the Judean captives who will make known the meaning to the king." 
Dan 2:26  King Nebuchadnezzar replied by saying to Daniel (whose Babylonian name is Belteshazzar), "Are you able to tell me about the dream and its meaning?" 
Dan 2:27  By way of answer, Daniel addressed the king: "None of the advisors, enchanters, diviners, or astrologers can explain the secret that the king has requested to be made known. 
Dan 2:28  But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he is making known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the latter days. "While you were in bed, the dream and the visions that came to your head were as follows: 
Dan 2:29  Your majesty, when you were in bed, thoughts came to your mind about what would happen in the future, and the Revealer of Secrets has made known to you what will take place. 
Dan 2:30  As for me, this secret was made known to me, not because my own wisdom is greater than anyone else alive, but in order that the meaning may be made known to the king, and that you might understand the thoughts of your heart. 
Dan 2:31  "Your majesty, while you were watching, you observed an enormous statue. This magnificent statue stood before you with extraordinary brilliance. Its appearance was terrifying. 
Dan 2:32  That statue had a head made of pure gold, with its chest and arms made of silver, its abdomen and thighs made of bronze, 
Dan 2:33  its legs made of iron, and its feet made partly of iron and partly of clay. 
Dan 2:34  "As you were watching, a rock was quarried—but not with human hands—and it struck the iron and clay feet of the statue, breaking them to pieces. 
Dan 2:35  Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together and became like chaff from a summer threshing floor that the breeze carries away without leaving a trace. Then the rock that struck the statue grew into a huge mountain and filled the entire earth. 
Dan 2:36  "This was the dream, and we'll now relate its meaning to the king. 
Dan 2:37  You, your majesty, king of kings—to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the glory, 
Dan 2:38  so that wherever people, wild animals, or birds of the sky live, he has placed them under your control, giving you dominion over them all—you're that head of gold. 
Dan 2:39  "After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to yours, and then a third kingdom of bronze will arise to rule all the earth. 
Dan 2:40  Then there will be a fourth kingdom, as strong as iron. Just as all things are broken to pieces and shattered by iron, so it will shatter and crush everything. 
Dan 2:41  "The feet and toes that you saw, made partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, represent a divided kingdom. It will still have the strength of iron, in that you saw iron mixed with clay. 
Dan 2:42  Just as their toes and feet are part iron and part clay, so will the kingdom be both strong and brittle. 
Dan 2:43  Just as you saw iron mixed with clay, so they will mix themselves with human offspring. Furthermore, they won't remain together, just as iron doesn't mix with clay. 
Dan 2:44  "During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor its sovereignty left in the hands of another people. It will shatter and crush all of these kingdoms, and it will stand forever. 
Dan 2:45  Now, just as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without human hands—and that it crushed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold to pieces—so also the great God has revealed to the king what will take place after this. Your dream will come true, and its meaning will prove trustworthy. 
Dan 2:46  Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face before Daniel, paid honor to him, and commanded that an offering and incense be presented on his behalf. 
Dan 2:47  The king told Daniel, "Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and the Revealer of Secrets, because you were able to reveal this mystery." 
Dan 2:48  Then the king promoted Daniel to a high position and lavished many great gifts on him, including making him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief administrator over the advisors of Babylon. 
Dan 2:49  Moreover, Daniel requested that the king appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon, while Daniel himself remained in the royal court.
