10 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two ahead of Him into every city and place whither He Himself would come.

² Therefore He said unto them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest.

³ Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves,

⁴ carrying neither purse, nor pack, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.

⁵ And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

⁶ And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall return to you again.

⁷ And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

⁸ And into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

⁹ And heal the sick that are therein and say unto them, ‘The Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.’

¹⁰ But into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same and say,

¹¹ ‘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.’

¹⁶ He that heareth you heareth Me, and he that despiseth you despiseth Me, and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me.”

¹⁷ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name.”

¹⁸ And He said unto them, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

¹⁹ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

²⁰ Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.”
