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”.

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.
