Luke 10:1-6 ▼

1 After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go.

2 He told them, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.

3 Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.

4 Don’t carry a money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals; don’t greet anyone along the road.

5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’

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