I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions and to defeat the power of your enemy Satan. Nothing can harm you.
He made you work hard, but I'll make you work even harder. He punished you with whips, but I'll use whips with pieces of sharp metal!”
You will overpower the strongest lions and the most deadly snakes.
Little children will play near snake holes. They will stick their hands into dens of poisonous snakes and never be hurt.
Don't be afraid of them or of anything they say. You may think you're in the middle of thorn bushes or scorpions. But be brave
They will handle snakes and will drink poison and not be hurt. They will also heal sick people by placing their hands on them.
Which one of you would give your child a scorpion if the child asked for an egg?
Paul shook the snake off into the fire and wasn't harmed.
Then God, who gives peace, will soon crush Satan under your feet. I pray that our Lord Jesus will be kind to you.
Any enemy who tries to harm them will be destroyed by the fire that comes out of their mouths.
