Luke 10:17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷Joy of the Missionaries.^[a] The seventy-two returned rejoicing, and they said, “Lord, in your name even the demons are subject to us.”

Luke 10:17 In the joy of the disciples, Jesus sees the beginning of the defeat of the forces of evil inflamed against human beings, and of their leader Satan (see Lk 11:20). Jesus shares their joy; but he invites them to rejoice most of all that they are the elect of the Father, a happiness that radically surpasses all missionary success.
