Luke 10:1-24
========================
1After 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.
2He 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.
3Go! I am sending you out
like lambs among wolves.
4Do 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.’
6If someone who promotes
peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.
7Stay 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.
9Heal the sick who are there
and tell them, ‘The
10But 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
12I tell you, it will be more
bearable on that day for
13“Woe to
you, Chorazin! Woe to you,
14But it will be more
bearable for
15And you,
16“Whoever listens to you
listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects
him who sent me.”
17The seventy-two returned
with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
18He replied, “I saw Satan
fall like lightning from heaven.
19I have given you authority
to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy;
nothing will harm you.
20However, do not rejoice
that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in
heaven.”
21At that time Jesus, full of
joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and
earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and
revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were
pleased to do.
22“All things have been
committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father,
and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son
chooses to reveal him.”
23Then he turned to his
disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24For I tell you that many
prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear
what you hear but did not hear it.”
