Luke 9:51–10:12

51 And it came to pass, when the time cwas come dthat he should be received up, he estedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52 And sent fmessengers before his face: and they went, and gentered into a village of the hSamaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And ithey did not jreceive him, because khis face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples lJames and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, meven as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 nFor the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

57 And it came to pass, that, oas they went in the way, pa certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59 qAnd he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said, Lord, rI will follow thee; but let me first go sbid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, thaving put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is ufit for the kingdom of God.

10 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. 2 Therefore 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. 3 Go your ways: fbehold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4 gCarry neither hpurse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and isalute no man by the way. 5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, kPeace be to this house. 6 And if lthe son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 7 And 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. 8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat msuch things as are set before you: 9 nAnd heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, oThe kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 11 Even 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. 12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable qin that day for Sodom, than for that city.
