Concept:Jesus used the image of defenceless animals among fierce enemies to teach His disciples the true nature of their mission.
Explanation:In Luke 10:1, Jesus appointed seventy other followers and sent them out in pairs to every town He planned to visit.
When they were commissioned, Jesus said in Luke 10:3: "Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves."
This verse directly shows that the seventy were sent as lambs among wolves, not as reapers or labourers.
The comparison to lambs reveals that the messengers would be vulnerable and might face hostility, so they were to trust in God's care and protection.
Although Luke 10:2 mentions labourers for the harvest, that statement calls for prayer rather than describing how the seventy were sent.
Thus, the correct answer is found in the words of Jesus Himself.
Answer:B. lambs in the midst of wolves
