"And these signs shall follow
them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak
with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they
shall recover." -- Mark 16:17-18
"Behold, I give unto you power
to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and
nothing shall by any means hurt you." -- Luke 10:19
