Jesus
appointed seventy-two other disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to
every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, "The harvest
is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send
out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like
lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one
along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this
household.' If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but
if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is
offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from
one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is
set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, 'The Kingdom of God is at
hand for you.' Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into
the streets and say, 'The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that
we shake off against you.' Yet know this: the Kingdom of God is at hand. I tell
you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town."
Reflection:
Tagpadangat
ni Jesus an Ija sugo sa setenta’y-dos sanan sa iban pa na mga disciple kon
unhon nila paghimo nan ila trabaho para kan God.
Kinahanglan
kuno, laong pa ni Jesus dila, na andam sila mapadangat nan serbisyo sa mga
katawhan na puno nan pagmahal sanan kalinaw sa ila mga kasing-kasing – na naka-pukos
an ila atensiyon sa trabaho lamang, wayay maka-estorbo na mga kakulian sa panaw.
An
pinaka-importante dinhi na kinahanglan permi sila naka-depende kan Jesus sa
tanan nila mga buluhaton kay dako man sanan halayum an ila pagtuo sa gahum ni
God pinaagi Dija.
Amo ‘sab
dato, kinahanglan dako ‘sab sanan halayum an ato pagtuo kan Lord Jesus para
mahimo ‘sab nato an gusto Nija ipahimo dato para sa kahimayaan ni God.
