1: After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

2: Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

3: Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

4: Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

5: And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

6: And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

7: And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

8: And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

9: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

10: But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

11: Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

12: But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

13: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14: But it shall be more tolerable 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 devils are subject unto us through thy name.

18: And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

19: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20: Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
