1Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.
2And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.
3Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.
5And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.
6And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.
7And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.
