1After this the Lord appointed aseventy-two ▼▼Some manuscripts seventy; also verse 17
others and csent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 dAnd he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. eTherefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3Go your way; fbehold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 gCarry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and hgreet no one on the road. 5Whatever house you enter, first say, i‘Peace be to this house!’ 6And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, jit will return to you. 7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for kthe 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, l‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 m‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that nthe kingdom of God has come near.’ 12I tell you, oit will be more bearable on pthat day for Sodom than for that town. Woe to Unrepentant Cities
13 q“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in rTyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 sBut it will be more bearable in the judgment for tTyre and Sidon than for you. 15And you, Capernaum, uwill you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to vHades.16 w“The one who hears you hears me, and xthe one who rejects you rejects me, and ythe one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
