\nAfter this the Lord appointed seventy\u2011two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, \u201cThe harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
\n5 \u201cWhen you enter a house, first say, \u2018Peace to this house.\u2019 6 If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
\n8 \u201cWhen you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, \u2018The kingdom of God is near you.\u2019 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 \u2018Even the dust of your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.\u2019 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
