Riverside(i)
1 AFTER this, the Master appointed seventy others and sent them out two and two before him into every city and place where he was soon to come.
2 He said to them, "The harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Pray, therefore, to the Owner of the harvest to hurry out laborers into his harvest.
3 Go; I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves.
4 Carry no purse, no bag, no shoes, and salute no one by the way.
5 Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'
6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon it; but if not, it will return upon you.
7 In the same house remain, eating and drinking what they have, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not change about from house to house.
8 Whatever city you enter, if they welcome you, eat what is set before you.
9 Heal those in it that are sick and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.'
10 Whatever city you enter and they do not welcome you, go out into the streets of it and say,
11 'Even the dust of your city that clings to our feet we wipe off for you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is near.'
12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.
13 Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be abased to Hades!
16 "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me. He who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
