Luke 10:2-11 So He was saying to them: "The harvest is plentiful, but the reapers are scarce. So pray the Lord of the harvest to send out reapers to His harvest-field.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ² So He was saying to them: "The harvest is plentiful, but the reapers are scarce. So pray the Lord of the harvest to send out reapers to His harvest-field. ³ Go on. Listen! I am sending you out as lambs surrounded by wolves. ⁴ Do not carry a purse, a bag, or shoes, and do not stop to say 'Good morning' to anybody on the road. ⁵ Whenever you go to a house for headquarters, first say, 'Peace to this household.' ⁶ And if anyone there loves peace, your peace will come upon him; but if not, it will come back to you. ⁷ Stay on at the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the workman deserves his support. Do not keep moving about from house to house. ⁸ And if you go into any town and they welcome you, continue to eat what is offered you, ⁹ to cure the sick there, and to say, 'The kingdom of God is close upon you.' ¹⁰ But if you go into any town and they do not welcome you, go out into the streets and say, ¹¹ 'We are wiping off against you the very dust from your town that has stuck to our feet. But understand this, the kingdom of God is close by.'
