Luke 10:1–11

Mission of the Seventy

10After these things the Lord appointed ¹seventy others also, and ^asent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. ²Then He said to them, ^b“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore ^cpray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. ³Go your way; ^dbehold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. ^4eCarry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and ^fgreet no one along the road. ^5gBut whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ ⁶And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. ^7hAnd remain in the same house, ⁱeating and drinking such things as they give, for ^jthe laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. ⁸Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. ^9kAnd heal the sick there, and say to them, ^l‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ ¹⁰But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, ^11m‘The very dust of your city which clings to ²us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’
