In context
1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place he was about to visit. 2He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. So beg the owner of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. 3Go. Look, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals, and greet no one along the road.
