14 And he formed* a group of 12, whom he also named apostles, those who were to accompany him and whom he would send out to preach+ 15 and to have authority to expel demons.+

7 He now summoned the Twelve and started sending them out two by two,+ and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.+

9 Then he called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons+ and to cure diseases.+ 2 And he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal,

17 Then the 70 returned with joy, saying: “Lord,* even the demons are made subject to us by the use of your name.”+

16 Now it happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a servant girl with a spirit, a demon of divination,+ met us. She supplied her masters with much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl kept following Paul and us and crying out with the words: “These men are slaves of the Most High God+ and are proclaiming to you the way of salvation.” 18 She kept doing this for many days. Finally Paul got tired of it and turned and said to the spirit: “I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.+
