Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ AFTER these things, Jesus selected from his disciples seventy others, and he sent them two by two before his face, to every place and city to which he was to go. ² And he said to them, The harvest is great, and the laborers are few; ask therefore the owner of the harvest, to bring out laborers to his harvest. ³ Go forth; behold, I send you as lambs among wolves. ⁴ Do not carry purses, nor bags, nor shoes; and do not salute any man on the road. ⁵ And to whatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house. ⁶ And if a man of peace is there, let your peace rest upon him; and if not, your peace will return to you. ⁷ Remain in that house, eating and drinking of what they have; for a laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. ⁸ And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat whatever they set before you; ⁹ And heal those who are sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come near to you. ¹⁰ But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into the street and say, ¹¹ Even the sand of your city which cleaves to our feet, we shake it off to you; but know this that the kingdom of God has come near to you. ¹² I say to you, that it will be much easier for Sodom in that day than for that city.
