10 And into whatever city ye enter and they do not receive you going forth into the streets of it say: 11 Even the dust adhering to us of the city of you on the our feet we shake off to you: nevertheless this know ye. that has drawn near the kingdom of God. 12 I tell you that for Sodom in days that more endurable it will be than city for that 13 Woe to thee, Chorazin, woe to thee: Bethsaida: because if in Tyre and Sidon happened the powerful deeds happening in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes sitting they would have repented. 14 Nevertheless for Tyre and Sidon more endurable it will be in the judgment than for you. 15 And thou Capernaum, not to heaven wast thou lifted? to hades thou shalt come down. 16 The one hearing you me hears, and the one rejecting you me rejects: and the one me rejecting rejects the one having sent me. 17 And returned the seventy-two with joy saying. Lord, even the demons submits to us in the name of thee. 18 And he said to them: I beheld Satan as lightning out of heaven fall.

19 Behold I have given you the authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing you by no any means shall hurt. 20 Nevertheless in this rejoice not that the spirits to you submits. Rejoice but that the names of you have been enrolled in the heavens. 21 In same the hour he exulted in by the Spirit Holy and said: I praise thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou didst hide these things from wise and intelligent ones and didst reveal them to infants; yes Father because thus good pleasure it was before thee. 22 All things to me were delivered by the Father of me, and no one knows who is the Son except the Father, and who is the Father except the Son and he to whomever wills the Son to reveal him. 23 And turning to the disciples privately he said: Blessed the eyes seeing the things which ye see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see and did not see, and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear.
