1 After this, the Lord {Kyrios} appointed seventy-two [seventy] others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.

2 And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord {Kyriou} of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.

3 Go! I am sending you⁺ out like lambs among wolves.

4 Carry no purse (money bag) or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.

5 Whatever house you⁺ enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.

6 If a man of peace is there, your⁺ peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you⁺.

7 Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages . Do not move around from house to house.

8 If you⁺ enter a town and they welcome you⁺, eat whatever is set before you⁺.

9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God {Theou} is near you⁺.

10 But if you⁺ enter a town and they do not welcome you⁺, go into the streets and declare,

11 ‘Even the dust of your⁺ town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you⁺. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God {Theou} is near.
