1 After these things, the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them, two and two; before him, to every city and village whither he himself was soon to go;
2 and he said to them, The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Entreat therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers for his harvest.
3 Go ye. Behold I send you forth like lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor sandals. And salute no one by the way.
5 And into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace will rest upon it; but if not, it will return to you. And
7 continue in the same family, eating and drinking such things as they have. For the labourer is worthy of his wages. Go not from one family to another.
8 And into whatever city you enter, when they entertain you eat such things as are set before you.
9 And heal the sick therein, and say to them, The reign of God is come near to you.
10 But whatever city you enter, when they do not receive you, go out into the streets thereof and say,
11 The very dust of this city of yours which cleaveth to us, we wipe off for you: nevertheless, know this, that the reign of God hath come nigh unto you.
12 Now I say to you, the condition of Sodom will be more tolerable on that day than the condition of that city.
13 Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles which have been performed in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to the skies, shall be thrust down to Hades.
16 He who hearkeneth to you, hearkeneth to me: and he who rejecteth you, rejecteth me; and he who rejecteth me, rejecteth him who sent me.
