46Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles.

47For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles: that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.

48And the Gentiles hearing it were glad and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting believed.

49And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.

1O Praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

2For his mercy is confirmed upon us: and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever.

1And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.

2And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest.

3Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.

4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

5Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.

6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you.

7And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.

8And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

9And heal the sick that are therein and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
