Luke 10:8-20

New American Standard Bible

⁸ Whatever city you enter and they receive you, ^(A)eat what is served to you; ⁹ and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘^(B)The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ ¹⁰ But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, ¹¹ ‘^(C)Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet ^[a]be sure of this, that ^(D)the kingdom of God has come near.’ ¹² I say to you, ^(E)it will be more tolerable on that day for ^(F)Sodom than for that city.

¹³ “^(G)Woe to you, ^(H)Chorazin! Woe to you, ^(I)Bethsaida! For if the ^[b]miracles that occurred in you had occurred in ^(J)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in ^[c](K)sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But it will be more tolerable for ^(L)Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. ¹⁵ And you, ^(M)Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!

¹⁶ “^(N)The one who listens to you listens to Me, and ^(O)the one who rejects you rejects Me; but the one who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

The Joyful Results

¹⁷ Now the ^[d]seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even ^(P)the demons are subject to us ^[e]in Your name!” ¹⁸ And He said to them, “I watched ^(Q)Satan fall from heaven like lightning. ¹⁹ Behold, I have given you authority to ^(R)walk on snakes and scorpions, and authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. ²⁰ Nevertheless, do not ^[f]rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that ^(S)your names are recorded in heaven.”
