to interpret the Gospel of Luke 10.1 to 20 require some assumptions:
- Historically Jesus never sent 72 people (in the original text does not appear neither the term nor the disciples of the apostles).
- Luke wrote this song affected by a problem in her community.
It is easy to imagine that Luke is put into the mouth of Jesus the manual of practice for the 72, is the solution to the problem of Luke's community.
<<...non portare borsa, né bisaccia, né sandali, non salutate nessuno lungo la strada. in qualunque casa entriate, prima dite "Shalom"...>>
The mission of the 72 is of a pre-evangelical, and consists Exorcist:
- heal the sick (according to Jewish tradition who was ill was possessed)
- win the cosmic evil (in nature and particularly in the desert which might have seemed worse than the evil
scorpion venom or the snake?)
- keep away the spirits that according to ancient pagan traditions (and others) are the enemies of good and evil.
All these beliefs are rooted in the communities where paganism Luca said the idea that man is dominated by forces external to him (spirits, demons, evil ...). Unfortunately, these beliefs are accompanied by a wave of seven coming back into fashion and the index of this trend is the proliferation of neo-oriental doctrines energy and / or New Age .

Luca sends 72 exorcists to "redeem" that free people from all those energies, diseases and beliefs that oppressed the individual. The gospel message, however, goes further and speaks of "salvation" (abstract category) or "saving" (a term that suggests a dynamism). If the purpose was only the gospel of redemption would be enough good healers, doctors, shamans, exorcists or psychologists, but the Christian is promised, and sought "salvation", a term that sums up the need to direct their lives in the right direction. In this perspective, Jesus is the one who pointed out the direction and writes the only tool with which to retrieve the "meaning of things" to direct our existence. The anthropological model Christian is active and therefore at odds with a human figure impotent and submissive to God knows what might ...
