Jesus Sends Out the Seventy

10 After this, the Lord appointed [fn]seventy others and sent them on ahead, two by two, to every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. 3 Now go on your way. Behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, and no sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. 5 Whenever you enter a house, first say, ‘May peace be upon this house!’ 6 If there is a son of peace there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. 7 Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in that city and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’ 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust that clings to [fn]us from your town we wipe off against you. Yet know this: The kingdom of God has drawn near [fn]to you.’ 12 I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town.
