Whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.” ¹⁷ The seventy-two returned joyously, saying, “Lord, even the demons submit themselves to us in your name.” ¹⁸ Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. ¹⁹ Look, I have given you authority to crush snakes and scorpions underfoot.

Rejoice instead that your names are written in heaven.”
