LUKE 10:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.”
Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me — the chain of representation: the seventy-two's reception is Jesus' reception; Jesus' reception is the Father's reception. Whoever rejects you rejects me: the authority of the sent ones is the authority of the sender. The rejection chain runs upward: rejecting the messenger = rejecting Jesus = rejecting the Father.
