¹⁸ He said to them, “I watched Satan^(E) fall from heaven like a lightning flash.^{(F) 19} Look, I have given you the authority^(G) to trample^(H) on snakes^(I) and scorpions^(J) and over all the power of the enemy;^(K) nothing will ever harm you.^{(L) 20} However, don’t rejoice that^[b] the spirits^(M) submit to you,^(N) but rejoice that your names are written^(O) in heaven.”
