[Footnote 8: Gr. _demon_.] _In §§102-110 we have matters given by Luke only, which probably occurred in Judea. Several of them are similar to events and discourses of the ministry in Galilee, given by Matthew and Mark._[a] [Footnote a: Observe that here, as in previous portions of the history, we possess only a few specimens from what must have been the great mass of our Lord's doings and sayings.] § 102. MISSION OF THE SEVENTY. CHRIST'S JOY IN THEIR WORK ON THEIR RETURN (Compare Mission of the Twelve in § 70.) Probably in Judea Luke 10:1-24 1 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy[1] others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, 2 whither he himself was about to come. And he said unto them, The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his 3 harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs in the 4 midst of wolves. Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes: and salute 5 no man on the way. And into whatsoever house ye shall [2]enter, 6 first say, Peace _be_ to this house. And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon [3]him: but if not, it shall 7 turn to you again. And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of 8 his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before 9 you: and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The 10 kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets 11 thereof and say, Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we do wipe off against you: howbeit know this, that the 12 kingdom of God is come nigh. I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city [_see Gen. 13 19:24_]. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the [4]mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in 14 sackcloth and ashes. Howbeit it shall be more tolerable for Tyre 15 and Sidon in the judgement, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto 16 Hades [_see Isa. 14:13-15_]. He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me. 17 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the 18 [5]devils are subject unto us in thy name. And he said unto them, 19 I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt 20 you.
