Gospel : Luke 10:1-12
1 Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him* into every city and place, where he was about to come.
2 Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the labourers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs amongst wolves.
4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'
6 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the labourer is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house.
8 Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9 Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'God's Kingdom has come near to you.'
10 But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 'Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God's Kingdom has come near to you.'
12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

Job 19:21-27
21 "Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends;
for the hand of God has touched me.
22 Why do you persecute me as God,
and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 "Oh that my words were now written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 That with an iron pen and lead
they were engraved in the rock forever!
25 But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives.
In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
26 After my skin is destroyed,
then in my flesh shall I see God,
27 Whom I, even I, shall see on my side.
My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger.
"My heart is consumed within me.
