Luke 10:1-12 GNB After this the Lord chose another seventy-two men and sent them out two by two, to go ahead of him to every town and place where he himself was about to go. (2) He said to them, "There is a large harvest, but few workers to gather it in. Pray to the owner of the harvest that he will send out workers to gather in his harvest. (3) Go! I am sending you like lambs among wolves. (4) Don't take a purse or a beggar's bag or shoes; don't stop to greet anyone on the road. (5) Whenever you go into a house, first say, 'Peace be with this house.' (6) If someone who is peace-loving lives there, let your greeting of peace remain on that person; if not, take back your greeting of peace. (7) Stay in that same house, eating and drinking whatever they offer you, for workers should be given their pay. Don't move around from one house to another. (8) Whenever you go into a town and are made welcome, eat what is set before you, (9) heal the sick in that town, and say to the people there, 'The Kingdom of God has come near you.' (10) But whenever you go into a town and are not welcomed, go out in the streets and say, (11) 'Even the dust from your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. But remember that the Kingdom of God has come near you!' (12) I assure you that on the Judgment Day God will show more mercy to Sodom than to that town!
Luke 10:1-12 ESV 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. (2) And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. (3) Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. (4) Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. (5) Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house!' (6) And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. (7) And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. (8) Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. (9) Heal the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' (10) But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, (11) 'Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.' (12) I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
Luke 10:1-12 CEV Later the Lord chose seventy-two other followers and sent them out two by two to every town and village where he was about to go. (2) He said to them: A large crop is in the fields, but there are only a few workers. Ask the Lord in charge of the harvest to send out workers to bring it in. (3) Now go, but remember, I am sending you like lambs into a pack of wolves. (4) Don't take along a moneybag or a traveling bag or sandals. And don't waste time greeting people on the road. (5) As soon as you enter a home, say, "God bless this home with peace." (6) If the people living there are peace-loving, your prayer for peace will bless them. But if they are not peace-loving, your prayer will return to you. (7) Stay with the same family, eating and drinking whatever they give you, because workers are worth what they earn. Don't move around from house to house. (8) If the people of a town welcome you, eat whatever they offer. (9) Heal their sick and say, "God's kingdom will soon be here!" (10) But if the people of a town refuse to welcome you, go out into the street and say, (11) "We are shaking the dust from our feet as a warning to you. And you can be sure that God's kingdom will soon be here!" (12) I tell you that on the day of judgment the people of Sodom will get off easier than the people of that town!

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
