Luke 10:17-20
When the seventy two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him,“ Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!”“ Yes,” he told them,“ I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning!Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.”

Luke 10:3-12
Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves.Don’t take any money with you, nor a traveler’s bag, nor an extra pair of sandals. And don’t stop to greet anyone on the road.“ Whenever you enter someone’s home, first say,‘ May God’s peace be on this house.’If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you.Don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay.“ If you enter a town and it welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you.Heal the sick, and tell them,‘ The Kingdom of God is near you now.’But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say,‘ We wipe even the dust of your town from our feet to show that we have abandoned you to your fate. And know this— the Kingdom of God is near!’I assure you, even wicked Sodom will be better off than such a town on judgment day.
