Luke 10: 1-6, 9, 16-19 (Amplified
Bible)
NOW
AFTER this the Lord chose and appointed seventy others and sent them out ahead
of Him, two by two, into every town and place where He Himself was about to
come (visit). 2 And He said to them, “The harvest indeed is abundant
[there is much ripe grain], but the farmhands are few. Pray therefore the Lord
of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I
send you out like lambs into the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no purse, no
provisions bag, no [change of] sandals; refrain from [retarding your journey
by] saluting and wishing anyone well along the way. 5 Whatever house you enter,
first say, ‘Peace be to this household! [Freedom from all the distresses
that result from sin be with this family].’ 6 And if anyone [worthy] of
peace and blessedness is there, the peace and blessedness you wish shall come
upon him; but if not, it shall come back to you.
9 And heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of
God has come close to you.’
16 He who
hears and heeds you [disciples] hears and heeds Me; and he who slights and
rejects you slights and rejects Me; and he who slights and rejects Me slights
and rejects Him who sent Me.” 17 The seventy returned with joy, saying,
“Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!” 18 And He
said to them, “I saw Satan falling like a lightning [flash] from heaven.
19Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and
scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power
that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.”
