Luke 10:1-6

The Seventy Sent Out

1 Now after this ¹the Lord appointed seventy ²others, and sent them ³in pairs ahead * of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

2 And He was saying to them, "⁴The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

3 "Go; ⁵behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

4 "⁶Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.

5 "Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'

6 "If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
