And he said unto them, (A)The harvest is great, but the laborers are few: pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into his harvest.

Bear no bag, neither scrip, nor shoes, and (C)salute [b]no man by the way.

Footnotes

  1. Luke 10:3 The faithful ministers of the word are in this world as lambs among wolves: but if they be diligent to do their duty, he that sent them will also preserve them.
  2. Luke 10:4 This is spoken after the manner of a figure, which men use, when they put down more in words, than is meant: usually among the Hebrews, when they command a thing to be done speedily without delay, as 2 Kings 4:29: for otherwise courteous and gentle salutations, are points of Christian duty: as for the calling it was but for a season.
