Luke 10:2-9

English Standard Version

^2 (A)And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. ^(B)Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. ³ Go your way; ^(C)behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. ^4 (D)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and ^(E)greet no one on the road. ⁵ Whatever house you enter, first say, ^(F)‘Peace be to this house!’ ⁶ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, ^(G)it will return to you. ⁷ And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for ^(H)the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. ⁸ Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. ⁹ Heal the sick in it and say to them, ^(I)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
