Luke 10:1-12

Now after these things, the Lord assigned seventy others and sent them out by twos before Him into every town and place where He Himself was about to go. And He was telling them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, beg the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest. “Go forth! Look, I am sending you as lambs in the midst of wolves. Do not be burdened with a money belt, travel bag, or shoes; and do not greet anyone along the way. Whatever home you enter, first say, “Shalom be on this home.” If a son of shalom is there, your shalom will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. And remain in this same home, eating and drinking the things they offer, for the worker is deserving of his wage. Do not keep moving from house to house. “Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what they set before you. Then heal the sick in that town, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, then go out into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town sticking to our feet, we wipe off as a witness to you. But know this! The kingdom of God has come near.’ I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.
