Luke 10:1-12

The Work of the Seventy-Two Followers

"Later the Lord chose seventy-two other followers and sent them out
two by two to every town and village where he was about to go. He
said to them:

A large crop is in the fields, but there are only a few workers. Ask
the Lord in charge of the harvest to send out workers to bring it in.
Now go, but remember, I am sending you like lambs into a pack of
wolves. Don't take along a moneybag or a traveling bag or sandals.
And don't waste time greeting people on the road. As soon as you
enter a home, say, "God bless this home with peace." If the people
living there are peace-loving, your prayer for peace will bless them.
But if they are not peace-loving, your prayer will return to you.
Stay with the same family, eating and drinking whatever they give you,
because workers are worth what they earn. Don't move around from house
to house.

If the people of a town welcome you, eat whatever they offer. Heal
their sick and say, "God's kingdom will soon be here!"

But if the people of a town refuse to welcome you, go out into the
street and say, "We are shaking the dust from our feet as a warning
to you. And you can be sure that God's kingdom will soon be here!" I
tell you that on the day of judgment the people of Sodom will get off
easier than the people of that town!"

Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

God bless you.

Luke 8:40-56 (GNT) 40 When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the people welcomed him, because they had all been waiting for him. 41 Then a man named Jairus arrived; he was an official in the local synagogue. He threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to go to his home, 42 because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side. 43 Among them was a woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years; she had spent all she had on doctors, but no one had been able to cure her. 44 She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once. 45 Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" Everyone denied it, and Peter said, "Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you." 46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of me." 47 The woman saw that she had been found o...

Luke:2.1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. Luke:2.2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. Luke:2.3 And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. Luke:2.4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, Luke:2.5 in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. Luke:2.6 While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. Luke:2.7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

John 21.1-19 Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples "Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake Tiberias. Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the brothers James and John, were there, together with two other disciples. Simon Peter said, "I'm going fishing!" The others said, "We will go with you." They went out in their boat. But they didn't catch a thing that night. Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize who he was. Jesus shouted, "Friends, have you caught anything?" "No!" they answered. So he told them, "Let your net down on the right side of your boat, and you will catch some fish." They did, and the net was so full of fish that they could not drag it up into the boat. Jesus' favorite disciple told Peter, "It's the Lord!" When Simon heard that it was the Lord, he put on the clothes that...
