Luke 10:2

The Seventy-Two Appointed And Sent Out

¹ Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. ² And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain. ³ Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
