MATTHEW MARK LUKE JOHN

- The Seventy -

Matt • Mark • Luke 09:51-10:24 • John 10:22-39

¶ And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly
set his face to go to Jerusalem, [a]nd sent messengers before his face: [A]nd they went, and entered
into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face

was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said,
Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias
did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the

Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

¶ And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will

let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man,
having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

¶ A[fter] these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before

his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The
harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: [P]ray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he
would send forth labourers into his harvest. Go your ways: [B]ehold, I send you forth as lambs among
wolves. Carry neither purse nor scrip, nor shoes: [A]nd salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever
house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest

upon it: [I]f not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such
things as they give: [F]or the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into
