LUKE 10:17-26

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

¹⁸And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.

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

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

²¹In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.

²²All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.

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

²⁴for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

²⁵And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

²⁶And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
