The Seventy Sent Out

10 Now after this ^(A)the Lord appointed ^[a]seventy ^(B)others, and sent them ^(C)in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. ² And He was saying to them, “^(D)The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. ³ Go! ^(E)Behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. ^4 (F)Carry no money belt, no bag, no sandals, and greet no one on the way. ⁵ Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ ⁶ And if a ^[b]man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him, but if not, it will return to you. ⁷ Stay in ^[c]that house, eating and drinking ^[d]what they give you; for ^(G)the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. ⁸ And whatever city you enter and they receive you, ^(H)eat what is set before you; ⁹ and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘^(I)The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ ¹⁰ But in whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, ¹¹ ‘^(J)Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off against you; yet know this, that ^(K)the kingdom of God is at hand.’ ¹² I say to you, ^(L)it will be more tolerable in that day for ^(M)Sodom than for that city.
