Based on the verses in Luke, the Savior tells the disciples that when they go into the city they should let the people know that they bring peace. If they are accepted then it's all good, but if they are rejected then they should just leave at once and that city will need to be careful.
Based of the Article of Faith 6, the principles taught in the verses support the Article of Faith very well. The Lord is sending the disciples two by two to preach the gospel, just like it is today. Missionaries go two by two to preach the word of God. Missionaries are put into cities they aren't familiar with at times, and the Savior says to eat the food if they welcome them and bless those that are sick and afflicted which is what missionaries do. In the last few verses the Savior is saying how the devil will come speedily because of the work, but as long as they are doing the work then they shouldn't fear because they will be protected and be able to overcome the devil.
The scriptures show that the Lord appointed a seventy back then as he did now because it talks about the seventy and they shall be spiritual and nothing shall hurt them as long as they're doing the Lord's work. It shows that they are them because they are ordained and set apart.
