Luke 10:2-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.(A) 3 Go on your way; I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves.(B) 4 Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals, and greet no one on the road.(C) 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house!’(D) 6 And if a person of peace is there, your peace will rest on that person, but if not, it will return to you. 7 Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the laborer deserves to be paid. Do not move about from house to house.(E) 8 Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what is set before you; 9 cure the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’[a](F)
