Luke 10:1-20 - The Seventy-Two Appointed And Sent Out

¹ After these things, the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them, two and two, before him into every city, and place, whither he himself would come. ² And he said unto them, "The harvest is great: but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, to send forth laborers into his harvest. ³ Go your ways. Behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. ⁴ Bear no wallet, neither scrip, nor shoes, and salute no man by the way. ⁵ Into whatsoever house ye enter in, first say, Peace be to this house. ⁶ And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him, if not, it shall return to you again. ⁷ And in the same house tarry still, eating and drinking such as they have. For the laborer is worthy of his reward. Go not from house to house: ⁸ and into whatsoever city ye enter, if they receive you, eat such things as are set before you, ⁹ and heal the sick that are there, and say unto them, 'The kingdom of God is come nigh upon you.' ¹⁰ "But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, if they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, ¹¹ Even the very dust, which cleaveth on us of your city, we wipe off against you: Notwithstanding, mark this, that the kingdom of God was come nigh upon you. ¹² Yea and I say unto you: that it shall be easier in that day, for Sodom than for that city.

¹³ "Woe be to thee Chorazsin: woe be to thee Bethsaida. For if the miracles had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while agone repented, sitting in hair and ashes. ¹⁴ Nevertheless it shall be easier for Tyre and Sidon, at the judgment, than for you. ¹⁵ And thou Capernaum which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell; ¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me: And he that despiseth you, despiseth me. And he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me."

¹⁷ And the seventy returned again with joy saying, Lord, even the very devils are subdued to us through thy name.

¹⁸ And he said unto them, "I saw Satan, as it had been lightning, fall down from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and over all manner power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. ²⁰ Nevertheless, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are under your power: But rejoice because your names are written in heaven."
