101 And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come, 2 then said he unto them, 'The harvest indeed 'is' abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest. 3 'Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves; 4 carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way; 5 and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house; 6 and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back. 7 'And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy 'is' the workman of his hire; go not from house to house, 8 and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you, 9 and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 10:1-9
Commentary on Luke 10:1-16
(Read Luke 10:1-16)
Christ sent the seventy disciples, two and two, that they might strengthen and encourage one another. The ministry of the gospel calls men to receive Christ as a Prince and a Saviour; and he will surely come in the power of his Spirit to all places whither he sends his faithful servants. But the doom of those who receive the grace of God in vain, will be very fearful Those who despise the faithful ministers of Christ, who think meanly of them, and look scornfully upon them, will be reckoned as despisers of God and Christ.
