The Seventy Sent Out

1 After these things the Lord appointed1 seventy others also, and asent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.  
2 Then He said to them, a“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore bpray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.  
3 Go your way; abehold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.  
4 aCarry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and bgreet no one along the road.  
5 aBut whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’  
6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.
7 aAnd remain in the same house, beating and drinking such things as they give, for cthe laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.  
8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
9 aAnd heal the sick there, and say to them, b‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’  
10 But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 a‘The very dust of your city which clings to1 us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’  
12 But I say to you that ait will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.  

Woe to the Impenitent Cities

13 a“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! bFor if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.  
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

Luke 10:1

MISSION OF THE SEVENTY DISCIPLES, AND THEIR RETURN. (Luke 10:1-24)

the Lord—a becoming title here, as this appointment was an act truly lordly [BENGEL].

other seventy also—rather, "others (also in number), seventy"; probably with allusion to the seventy elders of Israel on whom the Spirit descended in the wilderness (Numbers 11:24-25). The mission, unlike that of the Twelve, was evidently quite temporary. All the instructions are in keeping with a brief and hasty pioneering mission, intended to supply what of general preparation for coming events the Lord's own visit afterwards to the same "cities and places" (Luke 10:1) would not, from want of time, now suffice to accomplish; whereas the instructions to the Twelve, besides embracing all those to the Seventy, contemplate world-wide and permanent effects. Accordingly, after their return from this single missionary tour, we never again read of the Seventy.
