After (
note :)
The seventy are sent as the second forewarners of the coming of Christ .(:
note )
these things the Lord appointed other seventy also ,
and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place ,
whither he himself would come .
*
And he said vnto them ,
The haruest is great ,
but the labourers are fewe :
pray therefore the Lord of the haruest to sende foorth labourers into his haruest .
*
*
Carry neither purse ,
nor scrip ,
nor shoes :
and salute (
note :)
This is spoken figuratively ,
which manner of speech men use when they put down more in words than is meant .
This is usual among the Hebrews when they command a thing to be done speedily without delay ,
as is found in (
2Ki_4
:29 );
for in any other case courteous and gentle salutations are matters of Christian duty :
as for the calling ,
it was only for a limited time .(:
note )
no man by the way .
*
And into whatsoeuer house ye enter ,
first say ,
Peace be to this house .
*
And if (
note :)
So say the Hebrews :
that is ,
he that favours the doctrine of peace and embraces it .(:
note )
the son of peace be there ,
your peace shall rest upon it :
if not ,
it shall turn to you again .
*
And in the same house (
note :)
Take up your lodging in that house which you enter into first ,
that is ,
do not be concerned about comfortable lodging ,
as men do who plan to stay in a place a long time :
for here that solemn preaching of the gospel ,
which was used afterward when the Churches were settled ,
is not instituted :
but these are sent abroad to all the coasts of Judea to show them that the last jubilee is at hand .(:
note )
remain ,
eating and drinking such things as they give :
for the labourer is worthy of his hire .
Go not from house to house .
*
And into whatsoever city ye enter ,
and they receive you , (
note :)
Be content with the food that is set before you .(:
note )
eat such things as are set before you :
*
And heale the sicke that are there ,
and say vnto them ,
The kingdome of God is come neere vnto you .
*
*
Euen the very dust ,
which cleaueth on vs of your citie ,
we wipe off against you :
notwithstanding knowe this ,
that the kingdome of God was come neere vnto you .
*
For I say to you ,
that it shall be easier in that day for them of Sodom ,
then for that citie .
*
Woe be to thee ,
Chorazin :
woe be to thee ,
Beth-saida :
for if the miracles had bene done in Tyrus and Sidon ,
which haue bene done in you ,
they had a great while agone repented ,
sitting in sackecloth and ashes .
*
Therefore it shall be easier for Tyrus ,
and Sidon ,
at the iudgement ,
then for you .
*
And thou ,
Capernaum ,
which art exalted to heauen ,
shalt be thrust downe to hell .
*
He that heareth you ,
heareth me :
and he that despiseth you ,
despiseth me :
and he that despiseth me ,
despiseth him that sent me .
*
*
And he said unto them ,
I beheld Satan as lightning (
note :)
Paul writes that the location of the devil and his angels is in the air ,
as is found in (
Eph_6
:12 ),
and he is said to be cast down from there by force ,
when his power is abolished by the voice of the Gospel .(:
note )
fall from heaven .
*
Behold ,
I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions ,
and over all the power of the enemy :
and nothing shall by any means (
note :)
Will do you wrong .(:
note )
hurt you .
*
Neuerthelesse ,
in this reioyce not ,
that the spirits are subdued vnto you :
but rather reioyce ,
because your names are written in heauen .
*
*
*
*
For I tell you that many Prophets and Kings haue desired to see those things ,
which ye see ,
and haue not seene them :
and to heare those things which ye heare ,
and haue not heard them .
