Luke 10:17-20
The 72 returned with joy. They said,“ Lord, even the demons obey us when we speak in your name.”Jesus replied,“ I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.I have given you authority to walk all over snakes and scorpions. You will be able to destroy all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.But do not be glad when the evil spirits obey you. Instead, be glad that your names are written in heaven.”

Luke 10:3-12
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.Do not take a purse or bag or sandals. And don’t greet anyone on the road.“ When you enter a house, first say,‘ May this house be blessed with peace.’If someone there works to bring peace, your blessing of peace will rest on them. If not, it will return to you.Stay there, and eat and drink anything they give you. Workers are worthy of their pay. Do not move around from house to house.“ When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is given to you.Heal the sick people who are there. Tell them,‘ God’s kingdom has come near to you.’But what if you enter a town and are not welcomed? Then go into its streets and say,‘ We wipe from our feet even the dust of your town. We do it to warn you. But here is what you can be sure of. God’s kingdom has come near.’I tell you this. On judgment day it will be easier for Sodom than for that town.
