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.
15 aAnd you, Capernaum, who are bexalted to heaven, cwill be brought down to Hades.  
16 aHe who hears you hears Me, bhe who rejects you rejects Me, and che who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”  

The Seventy Return with Joy

17 Then athe seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”  
18 And He said to them, a“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.  
19 Behold, aI give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  
20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but1 rather rejoice because ayour names are written in heaven.”  

Jesus Rejoices in the Spirit

21 aIn that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.  
22 aAll things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and bno one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”

Luke 10:2

That he would send forth - ͅ . There seems to be an allusion here to the case of reapers, who, though the harvest was perfectly ripe, yet were in no hurry to cut it down. News of this is brought to the Lord of the harvest the farmer, and he is entreated to exert his authority, and hurry them out; and this he does because the harvest is spoiling for want of being reaped and gathered in. See the notes on Matthew 9:37, Matthew 9:38.
