Luke 10:17-24

Chapter 10

The seventy-two disciples returned joyfully. They said:

“Lord, even the demons obey us when we call on your name.”

Then Jesus responded:

“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

You see, I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the Enemy so that nothing will harm you.

However, don’t rejoice because the evil spirits submit to you; rejoice instead that your names are written in heaven.”

At that time, Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and said:

“I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and made them known to little ones.

Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. I have been given all things by my Father so that no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and he to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said to them privately:

“Fortunate are you to see what you see,

for I tell you that many prophets and kings would have liked to see what you see, but did not see it; and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”
