Luke 10:4-20

⁴Don't take any money or a bag or extra sandals, and don't spend time chatting with people you meet.

⁵Whatever house you enter, first of all say, ‘May this house have peace.’

⁶If there's a peaceful person living there, then your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.

⁷Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for a worker deserves to be paid. Don't go from house to house.

⁸If you enter a town and the people there welcome you, then eat what's set before you

⁹and heal those who are sick. Tell them, ‘God's kingdom has come to you.’

¹⁰But if you enter a town and the people there don't welcome you, go through their streets telling them,

¹¹‘We are wiping off even the dust from your town that clings to our feet to show you our disapproval. But you should recognize this: God's kingdom has come.’

¹²I tell you, in the Day of Judgment it will be better for Sodom than for such a town.

¹³Shame on you Korazin! Shame on you Bethsaida! For if the miracles you saw happen had happened in Tyre and Sidon they would have repented a long time ago, and they would be sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴That's why in the judgment it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you.

¹⁵And you, Capernaum, you won't be exalted to heaven; you will go down to Hades.

¹⁶Anyone who hears you hears me, and anyone who rejects you rejects me. But anyone who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”

¹⁷The seventy disciples returned in great excitement, saying, “Lord, even the demons do what we tell them in your name!”

¹⁸Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

¹⁹Yes, I have given you power to tread on snakes and scorpions, and to overcome all the enemy's strength, and nothing will harm you.

²⁰But don't take delight that the spirits do what you tell them—just be glad that your names are written in heaven.”
