Luke 10:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 10:3

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.
