I’ve given you authority to stomp on snakes and scorpions, to destroy all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.
They’ll pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink deadly poison, it won’t hurt them at all. When they will place their hands on sick people, the sick will get well.”
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and he wasn’t harmed.
If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.
Or suppose he asks for an egg. Which of you will give him a scorpion?
