Context of Luke 10:3

1After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, where he himself would come. 2Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4Carry neither purse, nor sack, nor shoes: and greet no man by the way. 5And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
