Luke 10:17-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Return of the Seventy
17 The Seventy[a](A) returned with joy, saying,(B) “Lord, even the demons(C) submit to us in Your name.”(D)
18 He said to them, “I watched Satan(E) fall from heaven like a lightning flash.(F) 19 Look, I have given you the authority(G) to trample(H) on snakes(I) and scorpions(J) and over all the power of the enemy;(K) nothing will ever harm you.(L) 20 However, don’t rejoice that[b] the spirits(M) submit to you,(N) but rejoice that your names are written(O) in heaven.”
The Son Reveals the Father
21 In that same hour(P) He[c] rejoiced in the Holy[d] Spirit(Q) and said, “I praise[e] You, Father,(R) Lord of heaven and earth,(S) because You have hidden these things from the wise and the learned(T) and have revealed them to infants.(U) Yes, Father, because this was Your good pleasure.[f](V)
