1 Later the Lord chose seventy-two other followers and sent them out two by two to every town and village where he was about to go.
2 He said to them:A large crop is in the fields, but there are only a few workers. Ask the Lord in charge of the harvest to send out workers to bring it in.
3 Now go, but remember, I am sending you like lambs into a pack of wolves.
4 Don't take along a money bag or a travelling bag or sandals. And don't waste time greeting people on the road.
5 As soon as you enter a home, say, “God bless this home with peace.”
