*
After these things ,
the Lord appointed also seventy others ,
and sent them two and two before him into every city and place where he himself was about to come .
*
And he said to them ,
The harvest is great ,
but the laborers are few .
Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers for his harvest .
*
Go forth ;
lo !
I send you as lambs into the midst of wolves .
*
Carry no purse ,
no bag ,
no sandals ;
salute no one by the way .
*
And into whatever house ye enter ,
first say ,
Peace be to this house .
*
And if a son of peace be there ,
your peace shall rest upon it ;
if not ,
it shall return to you .
*
And abide 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 .
*
And into whatever city ye enter ,
and they receive you ,
eat what is set before you ,
*
and heal the sick that are therein ,
and say to them ,
The kingdom of God hath come near to you .
*
But into whatever city ye enter ,
and they receive you not ,
go out into its streets and say ,
*
Even the dust of your city that cleaveth to our feet we wipe off to you ;
but know this ,
that the kingdom of God hath come near .
*
And I tell you ,
that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom ,
than for that city .
*
Woe to thee ,
Chorazin !
woe to thee ,
Bethsaida !
for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon ,
they would long ago have repented ,
sitting in sackcloth and ashes .
*
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment ,
than for you .
*
And thou ,
Capernaum !
shalt thou be exalted to heaven ?
thou shalt be brought down to the underworld .
*
He that hearkeneth to you ,
hearkeneth to me ;
and he that rejecteth you ,
rejecteth me ;
but he that rejecteth me ,
rejecteth him that sent me .
*
And the seventy returned with joy ,
saying ,
Lord ,
even the demons are subject to us in thy name .
*
And he said to them ,
I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning .
*
Lo !
I have given you power to tread on serpents and scorpions ,
and over all the might of the enemy ;
and nothing shall by any means hurt you .
*
Yet rejoice not in this ,
that the spirits are subject to you ;
but rejoice that your names have been written in heaven .
*
In that hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit ,
and said ,
I thank thee ,
O Father ,
Lord of heaven and earth ,
that ,
though thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning ,
thou didst reveal them to babes .
Yea ,
Father ,
for so it seemed good in thy sight .
And turning to the disciples he said ,
*
All things were delivered to me by my Father ;
and no one knoweth who the Son is ,
but the Father ;
and who the Father is ,
but the Son ,
and he to whom it is the will of the Son to reveal him .
*
And turning to the disciples ,
he said privately ,
Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye are seeing .
*
For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye are seeing ,
and saw them not ;
and to hear the things which ye are hearing ,
and heard them not .
