1. AND after these things the Lord appointed also other seventy-two: and he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.
2. And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send labourers into his harvest.
3. Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.
4. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.
5. Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.
6. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.
7. And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.
