* After this the appointed seventy others , and sent them two by two before his face , into every city and place into which he himself intended to go . * And he thus addressed them . "The harvest is abundant , but the harvesters are few . do you therefore pray the lord of the harvest to send forth harvesters into his harvest . * "Go your way ; behold , I am sending you forth like lambs among wolves . * "Carry no purse , no bag , no shoes ; and do not salute any one on your journey . * "Into whatever you first enter , say , Peace be to this house ! * "And if there be any son of peace there , your peace shall rest upon him ; but if not it shall return to you . * "Stay in that same house , eating and drinking what they give . for the laborer is worthy of his hire . Do not go from house to house . * "And whatever town you come to , and they receive you , eat whatever they put before you . * "Heal the sick in that town and tell them , The kingdom of God draws near to you . * "But whatever town you enter , and they do not receive you , Go out into the streets and cry , * "The very dust of your town which clings to your feet we wipe off as protest ; but know this , that the kingdom of God is drawing near to you . * "For I tell you that it will be mare tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that town . * "Woe unto you , Chorazin ! Woe unto you , Bethsaida ! For had the mighty been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you , they would have repented long ago , sitting in sackcloth and ashes . * "However , it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you . * "And you Capernaum , shall you be exalted to heaven ? No ! you shall be brought down to Hades ! * "He who listens to you listens to me . and he who rejects you , rejects me ; he who rejects me , rejects him who sent me ." * Then the Seventy returned with joy , saying , "Lord even the demons are subject to us in your name ." * And he said to them . "I watched Satan fall from heaven like a lightning flash . * "Behold , I give you the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions , and to trample on all the power of the enemy . In no case shall anything do you harm . * "Nevertheless , do not rejoice at this , that the spirits are subject to you ; but rejoice that your names are written in Heaven ." * In the same hour he thrilled with joy in the Holy Ghost . "I praise thee , Father , Lord of Heaven and Earth ," he said "for hiding these things from the wise and prudent , and for revealing them to babes . Yea , Father , for so it was well pleasing in thy sight ! * "All things have been delivered to me by my Father , and no one knows who the Son is except the Father ; and who the Father is except the Son , and he the Son wishes to reveal him ." * And turning to his disciples he said privately . "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see ! * "For I tell you that many prophets and kings have longed to see what you see , and have seen it ; and to hear what you hear , and have heard it not .
