- Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.
- And He was saying to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.
- "Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.
- "Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.
- "Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'
|
- 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.
|
- "If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
- "Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.
- "Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;
- and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
- "But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
|
- 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,
|
- 'Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'
- "I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
- "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
- "But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
- "And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!
|
- 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.
|
- "The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."
|
- He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
