Luke 10:21-24
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
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[a] You hid these things from wise ones and intelligent ones, and You revealed them to children[b]. Yes, Father, because[c] in this manner it became well-pleasing in Your sight. 22 All things were handed-over to Me by My Father. And no one knows[d] Who the Son is except the Father, and Who the Father is except the Son— and anyone to whom[e] the Son wills[f] to reveal Him”. 23 And having turned to the disciples, He said privately, “Blessed[g] are the eyes seeing the things which you are seeing. 24 For I say to you that many prophets and kings wanted to experience[h] the things which you are seeing, and they did not experience them; and to hear the things which you are hearing, and they did not hear them”.
