A centurion there had a slave who was highly regarded, but who was sick and at the point of death.

They appeared in glorious splendor and spoke about his departure that he was about to carry out at Jerusalem.

So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was going to pass that way.

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him two by two into every town and place where he himself was about to go.
