Luke 10:17-26

¹⁷And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in thy name.

¹⁸And he said to them, I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

¹⁹Lo! I have given you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the might of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

²⁰Yet rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names have been written in heaven.

²¹In that hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, thou didst reveal them to babes. Yea, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight. And turning to the disciples he said,

²²All things were 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 he to whom it is the will of the Son to reveal him.

²³And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye are seeing.

²⁴For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye are seeing, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye are hearing, and heard them not.

²⁵And lo! a certain lawyer stood up to try him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life?

²⁶And he said to him, What is written in the Law? How readest thou?
