mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But
it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum,
will you be exalted to heaven?
You shall be brought down to Hades!
16 "He who hears you hears me, he who rejects you rejects me,
and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the
demons are subject to us in your name." 18 And he said to them, "I saw
Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you
authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in
this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are
written in heaven."
21 At that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I
thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these
things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Yes, Father,
for so it was your good pleasure. 22 All things have been delivered to me
