Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

'Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;

Remember that I am sending you out as lambs into the midst of wolves.

Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.

Go your way. Look, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.

Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.

Go your ways. The instructions to the seventy are in substance the same as those given to the twelve in Matthew, chapter 10. See notes on there. Matthew is fuller. Luke adds: Salute no man by the way. The Jewish salutations were very formal, hypocritical, and consumed much time. It is said that it often required from one to three hours to complete these formal salutations. The disciples were not to consume thus their precious time, nor did the Savior wish them to go through with foolish and insincere forms.
Peace be to this house. The usual form of blessing when entering a house as a guest.
Son of peace. One who is worthy of such a blessing and hospitality receives the messengers of the Lord.

Matthew 10:16.
