July 3, 2022 Luke 10:1-20 The Mission of the Seventy (Two)

This week we discuss a unique episode in Luke’s Gospel, the sending of the Seventy (Two) “others” to extend Jesus’ ministry as well as that of the Twelve Apostles. We discuss how this relates to themes of the urgency and danger of the work of proclaiming the Kingdom, as well as the fact that Jesus’ commission was extended to these “others” to meet the pressing need to get the word out.
