taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem, 009:052 and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him. 009:053 They didn't receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem. 009:054 When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?" 009:055 But he turned and rebuked them, "You don't know of what kind of spirit you are. 009:056 For the Son of Man didn't come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." They went to another village. 009:057 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, "I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord." 009:058 Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." 009:059 He said to another, "Follow me!" But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father." 009:060 But Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God." 009:061 Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house." 009:062 But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God." 010:001 Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him{literally, "before his face"} into every city and place, where he was about to come. 010:002 Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest. 010:003 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 010:004 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way. 010:005 Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.' 010:006 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 010:007 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house. 010:008 Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you. 010:009 Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.' 010:010 But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out into the streets of it and say, 010:011 'Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.' 010:012 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
