Passage: Luke 10:1-18 - Jesus appointed seventy-two disciples, who he sent out in pairs to go ahead of him to each town and place he visited. They were instructed to bring a greeting of peace to each house they entered and to accept whatever food and drink they were given as their pay. They were to heal the sick and to share the good news that the kingdom of God had come near. When the seventy-two returned to Jesus, they were overjoyed to tell him that even the demons submit to them in Jesus’ name. Jesus responded that they should not rejoice in this but in the fact that their names are written in heaven.
