Luke 10:17-26

¹⁷And the two and seventy disciples turned again with joy, and said, Lord, also devils be subject to us in thy name.

¹⁸And he said to them, I saw Satan falling down from heaven, as lightning.

¹⁹And lo! I have given to you power to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and on all the virtue of the enemy, and nothing shall annoy you.

²⁰Nevertheless do not ye have joy in this thing, that spirits be subject to you; but joy ye, that your names be written in heavens.

²¹In that hour he gladded in the Holy Ghost, and said, I acknowledge to thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for thou hast hid these things from wise men and prudent, and hast showed them to small or little children. Yea, Father, for so it pleased before thee or so it pleased to thee.

²²All things be given to me of my Father, and no man knoweth who is the Son, but the Father; and who is the Father, but the Son, and to whom the Son will show.

²³And he turned to his disciples, and said, Blessed be the eyes, that see those things that ye see.

²⁴For I say to you, that many prophets and kings would have seen those things, that ye see, and they saw not; and hear those things, that ye hear, and they heard not.

²⁵And lo! a wise man of the law rose up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what thing shall I do to have everlasting life?

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