Luke 10:10-11. In case of rejection, the Seventy were bidden, even more distinctly than the Twelve (Matthew 10:14), to renounce by symbolical act, all intercourse and responsibility.

But know this, despite your rejection, the kingdom of God is come nigh. This word of love (Luke 10:9) becomes now a word of warning and of future judgment. How often men thus transform God's blessings into a curse for themselves!

Luke 10:12. See on Matthew 10:15.
