Luke 10:11-21

¹¹We wipe off against you the powder that cleaved to us of your city; nevertheless know ye this thing, that the realm of God shall come nigh.

¹²I say to you, that to Sodom it shall be easier or less pain than to that city in that day.

¹³Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon the virtues had been done, which have been done in you, some-time they would have sat in haircloth and ashes, and have done penance.

¹⁴Nevertheless to Tyre and Sidon it shall be easier in the doom, than to you.

¹⁵And thou, Capernaum, art enhanced till to heaven; thou shalt be drenched or drowned down till into hell.

¹⁶He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despis-eth him that sent me.

¹⁷And the two and seventy disciples turned again with joy, and said, Lord, also devils be subject to us in thy name.

¹⁸And he said to them, I saw Satan falling down from heaven, as lightning.

¹⁹And lo! I have given to you power to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and on all the virtue of the enemy, and nothing shall annoy you.

²⁰Nevertheless do not ye have joy in this thing, that spirits be subject to you; but joy ye, that your names be written in heavens.

²¹In that hour he gladded in the Holy Ghost, and said, I acknowledge to thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for thou hast hid these things from wise men and prudent, and hast showed them to small or little children. Yea, Father, for so it pleased before thee or so it pleased to thee.
