Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 10:3

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

"Defenseless, harmless, into the midst of those who would devour you if I did not send you. It would be foolhardiness to go on your own account; but I send you; and he who sends his lambs among wolves will take care of them." As I have often reminded you, the lambs and the sheep are very defenseless; and yet, after all, there are more sheep in the world than there are wolves; and although it looked as if the wolves would soon devour the sheep, the wolves are eradicated in many a country, and the sheep are still prized; and it will be so until the end.
