The Return of the Seventy

17 The 70[a] disciples[b] came back and joyously reported, “Lord, even the demons are submitting to us in your name!”

18 He told them, “I watched Satan falling from heaven like lightning. 19 Look! I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to destroy[c] all the enemy’s power, and nothing will ever hurt you. 20 However, stop rejoicing because the spirits are submitting to you. Instead, rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
