The seventy-two returned with joy and said, Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name — the joy of the returning seventy-two is the joy of successful mission. Even the demons submit to us in your name: the unexpected authority over the demonic realm has been the most striking element of their experience. The in your name communicates the derivative character of the authority — it is Jesus' name, not their own power.
