LC 10,1-12: MISSIONE E POVERTÀ
LC 10,1-12: MISSION AND POVERTY

Summary/Abstract: Of the three Synoptics, Luke is the only one who shows how the work of Jesus continues through the disciples’ mission. The Acts of the Apostles testifies to this, as it describes the mission and its historical realization. This study has as a starting point the missionary theme and suggests a point of view on the relationship between mission and poverty in Lc 10,1-12. The sending of the 70 disciples is generally seen as a missionary mandate that has the characteristic of universality. However, if one reads Luke’s fragment from the perspective of the poverty theme, one can find in 10,1-12 various instructions concerning the statute of the poor missionary. So, the fragment from Luke could be placed in the area of Luke’s favorite theme of poverty and the poor.
