The Lord Appointed Other Seventy Also

  1. Review Luke 10:1–24. Based on these verses, write a summary of the Lord’s counsel and instructions He gave the seventy.
The Lord instructs the seventy to go in pairs into the cities before him to be missionaries. Be with the people: eat with them and drink with them. He wants them to heal the people. Give peace unto the homes you enter. Preach the gospel and repentance to those you meet.
  1. Articles of Faith 1:6 states, “We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church.” Using the principles taught from Luke 10:1–2, 8–9, 17–20, write a paragraph that supports this Article of Faith.
The church today still sends missionaries out in pairs to preach the gospel as in Luke 10:1-2. The missionaries still eat with the people and bring peace to their homes. The priesthood is still used today for the healing of sick and afflicted. The Lord’s doctrine is the same.
  1. Go to the Church’s scripture website and read the topic of “Seventy” in the Guide to the Scriptures. Describe in one or two sentences how the scriptures show the existence of this office in the priesthood.

The seventy are set apart and apostolic authority without being apostles. They give their full time to do missionary work.
