Commissioning of the seventy

Perhaps Judea

Luke 10:1-16
1After this, the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead, two by two, to every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. 3Now go on your way. Behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves. 4Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, and no sandals0x3B and do not greet anyone on the road. 5Whenever you enter a house, first say, ‘May peace be upon this house!’ 6If there is a son of peace there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. 7Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9Heal the sick in that city and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’ 10But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11‘Even the dust that clings to us from your town we wipe off against you. Yet know this: The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’ 12I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town. 13“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14But it will be more tolerable at the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15And you, Capernaum, who have been exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. 16“He who listens to you listens to me0x3B he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

Korazin

Korazin is about 3 miles north of Capernaum. Its name meant “furnace of smoke”. It was famous for its grain. This was the general setting for Jesus’ parable of the Sower. There is no other Biblical mention of Korazin apart from Jesus denouncing the town.

Korazin stood in the northwestern corner of the Galilee region, about three miles from the sea. The nearby cities of Capernaum and Bethsaida joined Korazin as part of the “orthodox triangle,” an area inhabited primarily by devout Jews.
