16 aHe who hears you hears Me, bhe who rejects you rejects Me, and che who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”
The Seventy Return with Joy
17 Then athe seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
18 And He said to them, a“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, aI give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but1 rather rejoice because ayour names are written in heaven.”

What Does Luke 10:17 Mean?
Luke 10:17-18
Like a great lightning bolt streaking out of the sky, this brilliant angel, shining with all of his glory—glory given to him by God—was cast to the earth. Where did he fall? He fell right where we are, to the earth, and now we have to deal with him.
