Luke 10:1-15 ▼

1 And after these the Lord showed forth other seventy, and sent them together two and two before his face into every city and place, where he was about to come.

2 Then said he to them, Truly the harvest much, and the laborers few: implore therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.

3 Retire: behold, I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves.

4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor shoes: and greet none by the way.

5 And in whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house.

6 And if truly the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: and if not so, it shall turn back to you.

7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things of them: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

8 And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat the things set before you.

9 And cure the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.

10 And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, having gone into its spacious ways, say,

11 And the dust having cleaved to us from your city, we wipe off to you but know this, that the kingdom of God has drawn nigh to you.

12 And I say to you, that it shall be more supportable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

13 Woe to thee Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if in Tyre and Sidon were the powers having been in you, long since had they changed the mind, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14 But for Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in judgment, than for you.

15 And thou, Capernaum, indeed even lifted up to heaven, shalt be cast down to hades.
