What Jesus Does ~ On Purpose
Jesus had sent out seventy men in pairs to heal those who were sick, to tell people that “The kingdom of God is near.” Those men came back with incredible stories and excitement at what they had seen and done.
(NASB) Luke 10:17 “The seventy returned with joy, saying, ‘Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.’”
