Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two


1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two 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, “The 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.


5
“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’


6 If someone who
promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to
you.


7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker
deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.


8
“When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.


9 Heal
the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to
you.’


10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets
and say,


11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to
you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’



16
“Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but
whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”


17
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit
to us in your name.”


18
He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.


19 I have given you
authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of
the enemy; nothing will harm you.


20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits
submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
