Luke 10:1-21

¹After these things, the Lord appointed also seventy others, and sent them two and two before him into every city and place where he himself was about to come.

²And he said to them, The harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers for his harvest.

³Go forth; lo! I send you as lambs into the midst of wolves.

⁴Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; salute no one by the way.

⁵And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

⁶And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall return to you.

¹⁷And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in thy name.

¹⁸And he said to them, I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

²⁰Yet rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names have been written in heaven.

²¹In that hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, thou didst reveal them to babes. Yea, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight. And turning to the disciples he said,
