And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come. 2And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest. 3Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves. 4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. 5Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house. 6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you. 7And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. 8And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9And heal the sick that are therein and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 10But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say: 11Even the very dust of your city that cleaveth to us, we wipe off against you. Yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand. 12I say to you, it shall be more tolerable at that day for Sodom than for that city. 13Woe to thee, Corozain! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the mighty works that have been wrought in you, they would have done penance long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven, thou shalt be thrust down to hell. 16He that heareth you heareth me: and he that despiseth you despiseth me: and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
