[15] 10911091 Luke x. 1.And after that, Jesus set apart from his disciples other seventy, and sent them two and two before his face to every region and city whither he was purposing to [16] go. 10921092 Luke x. 2.And he said unto them, The harvest is abundant, and the labourers are few: [17] entreat now the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. 10931093 Luke x. 3.Go [18] [Arabic, p. 59] ye: and lo, I am sending you as lambs among wolves. 10941094 Luke x. 4.Take not with you [19] purses, nor a wallet, nor shoes; neither salute any man in the way. 10951095 Luke x. 5.And [20] whatsoever house ye enter, first salute that house: 10961096 Luke x. 6.and if there be there a son of peace, [21] let your peace rest upon him; but if there be not, your peace shall return to you. 10971097 Luke x. 7.And be ye in that house eating and drinking what they have:10981098 cf.

[33] 11151115 Luke x. 17.And those seventy returned with great joy, and said unto him, Our Lord, even [34] the devils also are subject unto us in thy name. 11161116 Luke x. 18.He said unto them, I beheld [35] Satan11171117 The word translated devil in preceding verse. fallen like lightning from heaven. 11181118 Luke x. 19.Behold, I am giving you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and the whole race11191119 This is an Arabic clerical error for forces.
