The sending forth of the twelve is re-
corded in Matt. X, Mark vi and Luke
TX. The sending Of the seventy is told
only in our lesson chapter. Both
companies were sent by two and two,
as lambs among wolves. and they were
to preach the kingdom Of God and
heal the sick verses 1, 3. 0; TX, 2;
Mark vi. Z; Matt. X, Z, 8. 16). The rea-
! son given in each case for sending

Lord of the harvest that He would
send forth laborers into His harvest"
(verse 2; Matt. TX. 36-3S.

away and sin purGed: he saw in vision
the earth full of His glory. and when
the triune God said Whom shall
send. and who will go for u.s. he was
ready to reply, Behold me; send me"
1t was the vision of the glory of the
Lord, that constrained Isaiah. 1t was
seeing and hearing the risen Christ
