Luke 10:1

Christ sends forth and instructs his seventy-two disciples. The good Samaritan.

1Then, after these things, the Lord also designated another seventy-two. And he sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive.
10:1Notice the different wording used for the 72 as compared to the 12. The 12 were appointed, but the 72 were designated, indicating different roles. The 12 were Apostles, but the 72 were more like deacons.(Conte)
