Luke 10
The Lord Sends the Seventy-Two
After these things the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to come. And he said to them, “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Go on your way. Look—I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ And if a child of peace is there, your peace will rest on them; but if not, it will return to you. Remain in that same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves their wages. Do not move from house to house. Whenever you enter a town and they welcome you, eat what is set before you. Heal the sick in it, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
