1 [9:51]AND when the days were completed for his being taken up, he set his face firmly to go to Jerusalem. [9:52]And he sent messengers before him; and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for him. [9:53]And they did not receive him, because he was going to Jerusalem. [9:54] And his disciples James and John seeing it, said, Lord, do you wish us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them? [9:55]And he turned around and rebuked them; and they went to another village. 2 [9:57]And as they were traveling on the way, one said to him, I will follow you wherever you go. [9:58]And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven places of shelter; but the Son of man has not where to lay his head. [9:59]And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father. [9:60]But he said to him, Let the dead bury their dead, but do you go and proclaim abroad the kingdom of God. [9:61]And another also said, Lord, I will follow you, but permit me first to bid farewell to those in my house. [9:62]But Jesus said, No man putting his hand on the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. 3 [10:1]And after these things the Lord designated seventy others also, and sent them out, two by two, before his face, into every city and place where he was about to come. [10:2]And he said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers few; pray, therefore, the Lord of the harvest to thrust out laborers into his harvest. [10:3]Go; behold I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves. [10:4]Carry neither a purse, nor provision sack, nor sandals; and salute no one by the way. [10:5]And into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this house! [10:6]And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you. [10:7]And in the same house remain, eating and drinking the things with them; for the laborer is worthy of his reward. Go not about from house to house. [10:8]And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you; [10:9]and cure the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come nigh to you. [10:10] And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you not, going out into its streets, say, [10:11]Even the dust of your city which adheres to our feet we wipe off for you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand. [10:12]I tell you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city. [10:13]Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in you, they would long ago have changed their minds, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. [10:14]But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you. [10:15]And you, Capernaum, even to heaven will you be exalted? even to hades shall you be cast down.
