After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also ,
and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go .
*
Then He said to them , "
The harvest truly is great ,
but the laborers are few ;
therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest .
*
Go your way ;
behold ,
I send you out as lambs among wolves .
*
Carry neither money bag ,
knapsack ,
nor sandals ;
and greet no one along the road .
*
But whatever house you enter ,
first say , "
Peace to this house .'
*
And if a son of peace is there ,
your peace will rest on it ;
if not ,
it will return to you .
*
And remain in the same house ,
eating and drinking such things as they give ,
for the laborer is worthy of his wages .
Do not go from house to house .
*
Whatever city you enter ,
and they receive you ,
eat such things as are set before you .
*
And heal the sick there ,
and say to them , "
The kingdom of God has come near to you .'
*
But whatever city you enter ,
and they do not receive you ,
go out into its streets and say ,
* "
The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you .
Nevertheless know this ,
that the kingdom of God has come near you .'
*
But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city .
* "
Woe to you ,
Chorazin !
Woe to you ,
Bethsaida !
For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon ,
they would have repented long ago ,
sitting in sackcloth and ashes .
*
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you .
*
And you ,
Capernaum ,
who are exalted to heaven ,
will be brought down to Hades .
*
He who hears you hears Me ,
he who rejects you rejects Me ,
and 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 saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven .
*
Behold ,
I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions ,
and over all the power of the enemy ,
and nothing shall by any means hurt you .
*
Nevertheless do not rejoice in this ,
that the spirits are subject to you ,
but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven ."
*
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said , "
I thank You ,
Father ,
Lord of heaven and earth ,
that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes .
Even so ,
Father ,
for so it seemed good in Your 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 the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him ."
*
Then He turned to His disciples and said privately , "
Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see ;
*
for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see ,
and have not seen it ,
and to hear what you hear ,
and have not heard it ."
