Luke 10:1-6

The Seventy-Two Appointed and Sent Out

1 And after these [things], the Lord also appointed seventy-two others and sent them out two by two before {him} into every town and place where he was about to go.

2 And 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.

3 Go! Behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves!

4 Do not carry a money bag or a traveler's bag or sandals, and greet no one along the road.

5 And into whatever house you enter, first say, "Peace [be] to this household!"

6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him. But if not, it will return to you.
