Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two

Luke 10: 1-12  (GNT) After this the Lord chose another seventy-two men and sent them out two by two, to go ahead of Him to every town and place where He Himself was about to go.  He said to them, "There is a large harvest, but few workers to gather it in.  Pray to the owner of the harvest that he will send out workers to gather in his harvest.  (note: I wonder if He means "God" by the "Owner" of a "harvest" meaning people?)   Go!  I am sending you like lambs among wolves.  Don't take a purse or a beggar's bag or shoes; don't stop to greet anyone on the road.  Whenever you go into a house, first say, 'Peace be with this house.'  If a peace-loving man lives there, let your greeting of peace remain on him; if not, take back your greeting of peace.  Stay in that same house, eating and drinking whatever they offer you, for a worker should be given his pay.  Don't move around from one house to another.  Whenever you go into a town and are made welcome, eat what is set before you, heal the sick in that town, and say to the people there, 'The Kingdom of God has come near you.'  But whenever you go into a town and are not welcomed, go out in the streets and say, 'Even the dust from your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you.  But remember that the Kingdom of God has come near you!'  I assure you that on the Judgment Day God will show more mercy to Sodom than on that town!"
