Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying,“ Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.

But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

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.

He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

“ Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!” says Yahweh of Armies.

Then the Jews answered him,“ Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, from Cuthah, from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in its cities.So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them.Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying,“ The nations which you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria don’t know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them, because they don’t know the law of the god of the land.”Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying,“ Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.”So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Yahweh.However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.So they feared Yahweh, and also made from among themselves priests of the high places for themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.They feared Yahweh, and also served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building a temple to Yahweh, the God of Israel;they came near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers’ households, and said to them,“ Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as you do; and we have been sacrificing to him since the days of Esar Haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here.”But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, said to them,“ You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to Yahweh, the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.”Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building.They hired counselors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.

This is he of whom it is written,‘ Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
