Luke 10:13-25

¹³“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴Nevertheless it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Judgment than for you.

¹⁵And you, Capernaum, who are ‘exalted to heaven’, will be brought down to Hades.

¹⁶“He who listens to you listens to me, and he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects Him who sent me!”

¹⁷Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

¹⁸So He said to them: “I watched Satan fall like lightning out of heaven.

¹⁹Take note, I am giving you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing at all may harm you.

²⁰However, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

²¹In that same hour Jesus exulted in His spirit and said: “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to ‘infants’. Yes, Father, because it pleased you to do so.”

²²And turning to the disciples He said: “All things have been entrusted to me by my Father; also, no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and to whomever the Son may choose to reveal Him.”

²³Then turning to His disciples privately He said: “Blessed are the eyes that are seeing the things that you see;

²⁴for I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you are seeing but did not, and to hear what you are hearing but did not.”

²⁵And then, a certain lawyer stood up to test Him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
