Colossians 4:10-18 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus,
sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he
come unto you, receive him;)
11
And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of
the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God,
which have been a comfort unto me.
12
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant
of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may
stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13
For I bear him record, that he
hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
14
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15
Salute the brethren
which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
16
And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the
church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
17
And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the
Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18
The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my
bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
Luke 10:1-15 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and
sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he
himself would come.
2
Therefore said he unto 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.
3
Go your ways: behold, I send you
forth as lambs among wolves.
4
Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and
salute no man by the way.
5
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say,
Peace be to this house.
6
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest
upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7
And in the same house remain, eating
and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go
not from house to house.
8
And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive
you, eat such things as are set before you:
9
And heal the sick that are therein,
and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10
But into
whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the
streets of the same, and say,
11
Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth
on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12
But I say unto you, that it shall be
more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13
Woe unto thee,
Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in
Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago
repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre
