Luke 10:17-26

¹⁷And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name.

¹⁸And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightening falling from heaven.

¹⁹Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you.

²⁰But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.

²¹In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost, and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight.

²²All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal him.

²³And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see.

²⁴For I say to you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them.

²⁵And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?

²⁶But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou?
