9:1 After 1 Jesus 2 called 3 the twelve 4 together, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure 5 diseases, 9:2 and he sent 6 them out to proclaim 7 the kingdom of God 8 and to heal the sick. 9 9:3 He 10 said to them, “Take nothing for your 11 journey – no staff, 12 no bag, 13 no bread, no money, and do not take an extra tunic. 14 9:4 Whatever 15 house you enter, stay there 16 until you leave the area. 17 9:5 Wherever 18 they do not receive you, 19 as you leave that town, 20 shake the dust off 21 your feet as a testimony against them.” 9:6 Then 22 they departed and went throughout 23 the villages, proclaiming the good news 24 and healing people everywhere.
10:1 After this 25 the Lord appointed seventy-two 26 others and sent them on ahead of him two by two into every town 27 and place where he himself was about to go. 10:2 He 28 said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest 29 to send out 30 workers into his harvest. 10:3 Go! I 31 am sending you out like lambs 32 surrounded by wolves. 33 10:4 Do not carry 34 a money bag, 35 a traveler’s bag, 36 or sandals, and greet no one on the road. 37 10:5 Whenever 38 you enter a house, 39 first say, ‘May peace 40 be on this house!’ 10:6 And if a peace-loving person 41 is there, your peace will remain on him, but if not, it will return to you. 42 10:7 Stay 43 in that same house, eating and drinking what they give you, 44 for the worker deserves his pay. 45 Do not move around from house to house. 10:8 Whenever 46 you enter a town 47 and the people 48 welcome you, eat what is set before you. 10:9 Heal 49 the sick in that town 50 and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God 51 has come upon 52 you!’ 10:10 But whenever 53 you enter a town 54 and the people 55 do not welcome 56 you, go into its streets 57 and say, 10:11 ‘Even the dust of your town 58 that clings to our feet we wipe off 59 against you. 60 Nevertheless know this: The kingdom of God has come.’ 61
