10And after these things, the Lord also^a appointed seventy-two others and sent them out two by two before him^b into every town and place where he was about to go. ²And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest that he send out workers into his harvest. ³Go! Behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves! ⁴Do not carry a money bag or a traveler’s bag or sandals, and greet no one along the road. ⁵And into whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace be to this household!” ⁶And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him. But if not, it will return to you. ⁷And remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide,^c for the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not move from house to house. ⁸And into whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat whatever is^d set before you, ⁹and heal the sick in it, and say to them, “The kingdom of God has come near to you.” ¹⁰But into whatever town you enter and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and^* say, ¹¹“Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you! Nevertheless know this: that the kingdom of God has come near!”^e
