Bible. New Testament
(51)And it came to pass, when the days were being completed that he
should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
(52)And he sent messengers before his face; and they went and entered
into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. (53)And they
did not receive him, because his face was directed toward Jerusalem.
(54)And his disciples, James and John, seeing it, said: Lord, wilt
thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them,
as also Elijah did? (55)And he turned, and rebuked them, and said: Ye
know not[9:55] of what spirit ye are. (56)And they went to another
village.
(57)And as they were going in the way, a certain one said to him: I
will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. (58)And Jesus said to him:
The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son
of man has not where to lay his head.
(59)And he said to another: Follow me. But he said: Lord permit me
first to go and bury my father. (60)And he said to him: Let the dead
bury their own dead; but do thou go and announce the kingdom of God.
(61)And another also said; I will follow thee, Lord; but first permit
me to bid farewell to those in my house. (62)And Jesus said to him: No
one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the
kingdom of God.

AFTER these things the Lord appointed also seventy others, and sent
them two and two before his face, into every city and place, whither
he himself was about to come. (2)And he said to them: The harvest
indeed is great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of
the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest. (3)Go
your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. (4)Carry
neither purse, nor bag, nor sandals; and salute no one by the way.
(5)And into whatever house ye enter, first say: Peace be to this
house. (6)And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon
it; and if not, it shall return to you. (7)And in that house remain,
eating and drinking such things as they give[10:7]; for the laborer is
worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. (8)And into whatever
city ye enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you; (9)and
heal the sick that are therein, and say to them: The kingdom of God
has come nigh unto you. (10)But into whatever city ye enter and they
receive you not, go out into the streets of the same, and say:
(11)Even the dust of your city that cleaves to our feet, we wipe off
to you[10:11]; yet know this, that the kingdom of God has come nigh.
(12)I say to you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for
Sodom, than for that city.
