At that time, the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on
ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself
was about to come. And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful,
but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to
send out laborers into his harvest. Go your way; behold, I send you
out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry no purse, no bag, no
sandals; and salute no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first
say, 'Peace be to this house!' And if a son of peace is there, your
peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you. And
remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the
laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house. Whenever you
enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you; heal the
sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into
its streets and say, 'Even the dust of your town that clings to our
feet, we wipe off against you; nevertheless know this, that the kingdom
of God has come near.' I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on
that day for Sodom than for that town.
'Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works
done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented
long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more
tolerable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you,
Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to
Hades."
