DAVID WILSON asked Werner A. Lind:

Does the Bible specifically state the at one point Jesus had 70 disciples following Him? 12 in His inner circle and 70 others are mentioned before His crucifixion. David Wilson Huntsville, AL

Werner A. Lind Yes, Luke 10:1 states that at one point he sent out 70 --some manuscripts say 72-- "others" (that is, other disciples; this is a different occasion than the earlier preaching mission of the Twelve recorded in all three of the Synoptic Gospels, though the instructions given to them are similar).
