'Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom o God has come near.'The seventy were sent out with a message. They also had the power to act in Jesus' name, but their main reason for going out was to preach. The people may have been paying attention to the miracles, but the message was the important part.
That message didn't change, no matter the seventy's circumstance. If they were welcomed into a city, the message was the same. If they were not welcomed and had to depart while warning of judgment, the message was the same. They could not control how the people received the message; their job was simply to preach it, and let God do the work.
