010:013 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty
works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you,
they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
010:014 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment
than for you.
010:015 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought
down to Hades.{Hades is the lower realm of the dead, or Hell.}
010:016 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you
rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
010:017 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons
are subject to us in your name!"
010:018 He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning
from heaven.
010:019 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any
way hurt you.
010:020 Nevertheless, don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject
to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
010:021 In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said,
"I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you
have hidden these things from the wise and understanding,
and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it
was well-pleasing in your sight."
010:022 Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been

except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son,
and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."
010:023 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are
the eyes which see the things that you see,
010:024 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see
the things which you see, and didn't see them, and to hear
the things which you hear, and didn't hear them."

010:027 He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all
