Luke 10:17–24

The Return of the Seventy

¹⁷The Seventy ^dereturned with joy, saying, ^f“Lord, even the demons ^gsubmit to us in Your name.” ^h

¹⁸He said to them, “I watched Satan ⁱfall from heaven like a lightning flash. ^j19Look, I have given you the authority ^kto trample ^lon snakes ^mand scorpions ⁿand over all the power of the enemy; ^onothing will ever harm you. ^p20However, don’t rejoice that ^qthe spirits ^rsubmit to you, ^sbut rejoice that your names are written ^tin heaven.”

The Son Reveals the Father

²¹In that same hour ^uHe ^vrejoiced in the Holy ^wSpirit ^xand said, “I praise ^yYou, Father, ^zLord of heaven and earth, ^abecause You have hidden these things from the wise and the learned ^band have revealed them to infants. ^cYes, Father, because this was Your good pleasure. ^de22All things have ^fbeen 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 ^gto reveal Him.” ^h

²³Then turning to His disciples He said privately, “The eyes that see the things you see are blessed! ²⁴For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see yet didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn’t hear them.” ⁱ
