- After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
- Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
- Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
- Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
- And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
|
- After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.
- He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
- Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
- Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
- "When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.'
|
- And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
- And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
- And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
- And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
- But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
|
- If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
- Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
- "When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you.
- Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.'
- But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say,
|
- Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
- But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
- Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
- But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
- And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
|
- 'Even the dust of your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.'
- I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
- "Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
- But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
- And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths.
|
- He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
|
- "He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
