Luke 10:1-12
The Seventy Sent Out
10Now after this athe Lord appointed 1seventy bothers, and sent them cin pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. 2And He was saying to them, “aThe harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3“Go! aBehold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4“aCarry no money belt, no bag, no sandals, and greet no one on the way. 5“Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ 6“And if a 1man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him, but if not, it will return to you. 7“Stay in 1that house, eating and drinking 2what they give you; for athe laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. 8“And whatever city you enter and they receive you, aeat what is set before you; 9and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘aThe kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10“But in whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11‘aEven the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off against you; yet know this, that bthe kingdom of God is at hand.’ 12“I say to you, ait will be more tolerable in that day for bSodom than for that city.
