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. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 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. But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 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. 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. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. Bible, King James Version Bible, King James Version
