Luke 10:1-6

1 Later the Master selected seventy and sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he intended to go.
2 He gave them this charge: "What a huge harvest! And how few the harvest hands. So on your knees; ask the God of the Harvest to send harvest hands.
3 "On your way! But be careful - this is hazardous work. You're like lambs in a wolf pack.
4 "Travel light. Comb and toothbrush and no extra luggage. "Don't loiter and make small talk with everyone you meet along the way.
5 "When you enter a home, greet the family, 'Peace.'
6 If your greeting is received, then it's a good place to stay. But if it's not received, take it back and get out. Don't impose yourself.
