Luke 10:13-24

English Standard Version

Woe to Unrepentant Cities

^13 (A)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in ^(B)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. ^14 (C)But it will be more bearable in the judgment for ^(D)Tyre and Sidon than for you. ¹⁵ And you, Capernaum, ^(E)will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to ^(F)Hades.

^16 (G)“The one who hears you hears me, and ^(H)the one who rejects you rejects me, and ^(I)the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

The Return of the Seventy-Two

^17 (J)The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, ^(K)even the demons are subject to us in your name!” ¹⁸ And he said to them, ^(L)“I saw Satan ^(M)fall like lightning from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I have given you authority ^(N)to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of ^(O)the enemy, and ^(P)nothing shall hurt you. ^20 (Q)Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that ^(R)your names are written in heaven.”

Jesus Rejoices in the Father's Will

^21 (S)In that same hour ^(T)he rejoiced ^(U)in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, ^(V)Lord of heaven and earth, that ^(W)you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and ^(X)revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for ^(Y)such was your gracious will.^{[a] 22 (Z)}All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is ^(AA)except the Father, or who the Father is ^(AB)except the Son and anyone ^(AC)to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

²³ Then turning to the disciples he said privately, ^(AD)“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! ²⁴ For I tell you ^(AE)that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”
