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.  ‡

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.
