Luke 10:19-21
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
19 Behold— I have given you the authority to trample[a] on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. And nothing will by-any-means[b] harm you. 20 Nevertheless, do not be rejoicing in this— that the spirits are subject to you. But be rejoicing that your names have been recorded in the heavens”.
It Pleases God To Hide The Kingdom From The Wise And Reveal It To The Childlike
21 At the very hour, He rejoiced-greatly in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that[c] You hid these things from wise ones and intelligent ones, and You revealed them to children[d]. Yes, Father, because[e] in this manner it became well-pleasing in Your sight.
