A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 10:3

"Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves." — Luke 10:3 (ASV)

As lambs (ως αρνας). Here again the same language as that in Mt 10:16 except that there "sheep" (προβατα) appears instead of "lambs." Pathetic picture of the risks of missionaries for Christ. They take their life in their hands.
