Luke 10:13-23

Woe to Unrepentant Cities

13 ¹"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in ²Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14 ³But it will be more bearable in the judgment for ⁴Tyre and Sidon than for you.

15 And you, Capernaum, ⁵will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to ⁶Hades.

16 ⁷"The one who hears you hears me, and ⁸the one who rejects you rejects me, and ⁹the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me."

17 ¹⁰The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, ¹¹even the demons are subject to us in your name!"

18 And he said to them, ¹²"I saw Satan ¹³fall like lightning from heaven.

19 Behold, I have given you authority ¹⁴to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of ¹⁵the enemy, and ¹⁶nothing shall hurt you.

20 ¹⁷Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that ¹⁸your names are written in heaven."

Jesus Rejoices in the Father's Will

21 ¹⁹In that same hour ²⁰he rejoiced ²¹in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father, ²²Lord of heaven and earth, that ²³you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and ²⁴revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for ²⁵such was your gracious will.^[a]

22 ²⁶All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is ²⁷except the Father, or who the Father is ²⁸except the Son and anyone ²⁹to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

23 Then turning to the disciples he said privately, ³⁰"Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!
