Luke 10:1-9
After this the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them
on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to
go. He said to them, The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few;
therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.
Go on your way. See, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves.
Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the road. Whatever
house you enter, first say, "Peace to this house!" And if anyone is there who shares
in peace, your peace will rest on that person; but if not, it will return to
you. Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for
the labourer deserves to be paid. Do not move about from house to house.
Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what is set before
you; cure the sick who are there, and say to them, "The kingdom of God has
come near to you."
Reflection
How do I respond to Jesus’ advice to travel light?
How would I apply his advice to my life?
