The Seventy-Two Appointed And Sent Out

¹ After this the Lord nominated seventy disciples more, and sent them before by two and two, into all the cities, and towns, where he himself design'd to go. ² and he said to them, the harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few: intreat therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers into his harvest. ³ go then: I send you as lambs among wolves.
