CLV(i)
1 Now after these things the Lord indicates seventy-two others also, and He dispatches them two by two before His face into every city and place where He was about to be entering."
2 Now He said to them, "The harvest, indeed, is vast, yet the workers are few. Beseech, then, the Lord of the harvest, so that He should be ejecting workers into His harvest."
3 Go! Lo! I am dispatching you as lambs in the midst of wolves."
4 Bear no purse not beggar's bag nor yet sandals, and you should be greeting no one by the way."
5 Now into whatever house you may be entering, first say, 'Peace to this household!'"
6 And if a son of peace should be there, your peace will be resting on it; otherwise, surely it will come back on you."
7 Now in the same house, remain, eating and drinking what they have, for worthy is the worker of his wages. Do not proceed from house to house."
8 And into whatever city you may be entering, and they may be receiving you, eat what is placed before you,
9 and cure the infirm in it, and say to them, 'Near to you is the kingdom of God.'"
10 Now into whatever city you may be entering, and they may not be receiving you, coming out into its squares, say,
11 Even the dust on our feet, which is clinging to us out of your city, are we wiping off before you. Moreover, know this, that near to you is the kingdom of God!"
12 Now I am saying to you that it will be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.
13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the powerful deeds which are occurring in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, long ago they would repent, sitting in sackcloth and ashes."
14 Moreover for Tyre and Sidon will it be more tolerable in the judging than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum! Not to heaven shall you be exalted! To the unseen shall you subside!"
16 He who is hearing you is hearing Me. And he who is repudiating you is repudiating Me. Yet he who is repudiating Me is repudiating Him Who commissions Me."
