Luke 10:1–24

After these things the Lord ^aappointed ^bother ^cseventy also, and ^dsent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. ²Therefore said he unto them, ^eThe harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. ³Go your ways: ^fbehold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. ^4gCarry neither ^hpurse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and ⁱsalute no man by the way. ⁵And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, ^kPeace be to this house. ⁶And if ^lthe son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. ⁷And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. ⁸And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat ^msuch things as are set before you: ⁹ⁿAnd heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, ^oThe kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. ¹⁰But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, ¹¹Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off ^pagainst you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that ^othe kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. ¹²But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable ^qin that day for Sodom, than for that city.

^13rWoe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, ^ssitting in sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon ^qat the judgment, than for you. ¹⁵And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. ^16tHe that heareth you heareth me; and ^uhe that despiseth you despiseth me; ^xand he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

¹⁷And ^ythe seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, ^zeven the devils are subject unto us through thy name. ¹⁸And he said unto them, ^aI beheld Satan as lightning ^bfall from heaven. ¹⁹Behold, I give unto you power ^cto tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. ²⁰Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, ^dthat the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because ^eyour names are written in heaven.

^21fIn that hour Jesus ^grejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so ^hit seemed good in thy sight. ^22||All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. ²³And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, ⁱBlessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: ²⁴For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
