Luke 10:17–24

THE RETURN OF THE SEVENTY-TWO

¹⁷The seventy-two^Bav returned with joy, saying,^aw “Lord, even the demons^ax submit to us in your name.”^ay

¹⁸He said to them, “I watched Satan^az fall from heaven like lightning.^{ba 19}Look, I have given you the authority^bb to trample^bc on snakes^bd and scorpions^be and over all the power of the enemy;^bf nothing at all will harm you.^{bg 20}However, don’t rejoice that^C the spirits^bh submit to you,^bi but rejoice that your names are written^bj in heaven.”

THE SON REVEALS THE FATHER

²¹At that time^a he^D rejoiced in the Holy^E Spirit^b and said, “I praise^F you, Father,^c Lord of heaven and earth,^d because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent^e and revealed them to infants.^f Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure.^{Ag 22}All things have^B been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son desires^C to reveal him.”^h

²³Then turning to his disciples he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see! ²⁴For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear but didn’t hear them.”ⁱ
