A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek: Humbly Attempted with a View to Assist the Unlearned with Clearer and More Explicit Views of the Mind of the Spirit in the Scriptures of Truth
Haweis, Thomas
Bible. New Testament
THEN after these things the Lord appointed other seventy persons also,
and sent them, two and two before his face, into every city and place,
whither he himself designed to go. (2)He said therefore unto them, The
harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers few: pray ye therefore
to the Lord of the harvest, that he would send out labourers into his
harvest. (3)Go forth! behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of
wolves. (4)Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor sandals: and stay to
salute no man on the road. (5)And into whatever house ye enter, first
say, Peace be to this house. (6)And if the Son of peace be there, your
peace shall rest upon it; but if not, it shall return back to you
again. (7)And in the same family abide, eating and drinking such as
they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not about from
house to house. (8)And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they welcome
you, eat whatever is set before you: (9)and heal the sick that are
therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
(10)And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out
into the streets of it, and say, (11)Even the dust of your city, which
sticks to us, we shake off against you: nevertheless this know, that
the kingdom of God is come near to you. (12)Now I tell you, that it
shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day, than for that city.
(13)Wo to thee Chorazin! wo to thee Bethsaida! for if the miracles
which have been done in thee, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, long ago
sitting in sackcloth and ashes, would they have repented. (14)But it
shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for
you. (15)And thou Capernaum, which hast been lifted up to heaven, shalt
be cast down to hell. (16)He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that
despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth Him
that sent me.
(17)Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils
are subject to us through thy name. (18)And he said unto them, I beheld
Satan falling as lightning from heaven. (19)Behold, I give you power to
tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy;
and nothing shalt in any wise hurt you. (20)Nevertheless, in this
rejoice not, that the spirits are made subject to you; but rejoice
rather, that your names are inscribed in the heavens.
