Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two

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