Luke 10:1-15 ▼

1 And after these things, the LORD also appointed seventy others, and sent them by twos before His face, to every city and place to where He Himself was about to come,

2 then He said to them, “The harvest [is] indeed abundant, but the workmen few; implore then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.

3 Go away; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;

4 carry no bag, no leather pouch, nor sandals; and greet no one on the way;

5 and into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this house;

6 and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, your peace will rest on it; and if not so, it will turn back on you.

7 And remain in that house, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; do not go from house to house,

8 and into whatever city you enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,

9 and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The Kingdom of God has come near to you.

10 And into whatever city you enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,

11 And the dust that has cleaved to us from your city, we wipe off against you, but know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you;

12 and I say to you that it will be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.

13 Woe to you, Chorazin; woe to you, Bethsaida; for if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they had converted long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes;

14 but it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

15 And you, Capernaum, which were exalted to Heaven, you will be brought down to Hades.
