Luke 10:15-17
J.B. Phillips New Testament
13-15 Alas for you, Chorazin, and alas for you, Bethsaida! For if Tyre and Sidon had seen the demonstrations of God’s power that you have seen, they would have repented long ago and sat in sackcloth and ashes. It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you! As for you, Capernaum, are you on your way up to heaven? I tell you, you will go hurtling down among the dead!”
16 Then he added to the seventy, “Whoever listens to you is listening to me, and the man who has no use for you has no use for me either. And the man who has no use for me has no use for the one who sent me!”
Jesus tells the returned missioners not to be enthusiastic over mere power
17 Later the seventy came back full of joy. “Lord,” they said, “even evil spirits obey us when we use your name!”
