LUKE 10:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.”
At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do — full of joy through the Holy Spirit is Luke's unique description of the Spirit-filled rejoicing. The thanksgiving addresses the pattern of revelation: hidden from the wise and learned (those confident in their own understanding), revealed to little children (the humble, the dependent). This is what you were pleased to do: the sovereignty of the Father in revelation is affirmed.
