Luke 10:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Listen! I gave you power to walk on snakes and scorpions. I gave you more power than the Enemy has. Nothing will hurt you. ²⁰ You should be happy, but not because the spirits obey you. You should be happy because your names are written in heaven.”

Jesus Prays to the Father

²¹ Then the Holy Spirit made Jesus rejoice. He said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the people who are wise and smart. But you have shown them to those who are like little children. Yes, Father, you did this because this is what you really wanted.
