Babes Children Earth Fervent Heaven Hid Hidden Holy Hour Jesus Joy Little Prudent Rejoiced Revealed Sages Sight Spirit Thank Thanks Understanding Well-Pleasing Wise
Luke 10
1. Jesus sends out at once seventy disciples to work miracles, and to preach;
13. pronounces a woe against certain cities.
17. The seventy return with joy;
18. he shows them wherein to rejoice,
21. and thanks his Father for his grace;
23. magnifies the happy estate of his church;
25. teaches the lawyer how to attain eternal life,
30. and tells the parable of the good Samaritan;
38. reprimands Martha, and commends Mary her sister.














At that time
This phrase situates the event in a specific moment, emphasizing the immediacy and relevance of Jesus' response. The context is crucial; Jesus had just sent out the seventy-two disciples, and they returned with joy, reporting the success of their mission. This moment of rejoicing is a direct response to the unfolding of God's kingdom through their work.

Jesus rejoiced
The Greek word for "rejoiced" here is "ἀγαλλιάω" (agalliaō), which conveys an exuberant, overflowing joy. This is one of the few instances in the Gospels where Jesus is explicitly described as rejoicing. It highlights His deep, personal connection with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and His delight in the divine plan being revealed and fulfilled.

in the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, actively involved in the life and ministry of Jesus. This phrase underscores the Trinitarian nature of God, showing that Jesus' joy is not merely human but is deeply spiritual, rooted in the divine communion with the Father and the Spirit. It also indicates that true joy and revelation come through the Spirit.

and said, 'I praise You, Father
The act of praising the Father is a model of prayer and worship. The Greek word "ἐξομολογέω" (exomologeō) means to confess or acknowledge openly. Jesus acknowledges the Father's sovereignty and goodness, setting an example for believers to follow in their own prayers.

Lord of heaven and earth
This title affirms God's supreme authority over all creation. It echoes the Jewish Shema and other Old Testament affirmations of God's sovereignty. By addressing God in this way, Jesus acknowledges the Father's ultimate control and purpose in the unfolding of His kingdom.

because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned
The "wise and learned" refers to those who rely on human wisdom and understanding, often the religious leaders and scholars of the time. The Greek word "σοφός" (sophos) for wise and "συνετός" (synetos) for learned suggest those who are esteemed for their intellectual capabilities. Yet, divine truths are not accessible through human wisdom alone.

and revealed them to little children
The "little children" symbolize humility and openness. The Greek word "νήπιος" (nēpios) refers to infants or young children, emphasizing simplicity and dependence. This revelation to the humble reflects the upside-down nature of God's kingdom, where the last are first, and the meek inherit the earth.

Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight
This affirmation underscores the Father's good pleasure in His divine plan. The Greek word "εὐδοκία" (eudokia) means good pleasure or delight. It highlights God's sovereign will and the joy He takes in revealing His truths to those who are humble and receptive. Jesus' agreement with the Father's will models perfect submission and alignment with God's purposes.

(21, 22) in that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit.--The words that follow are found also in Matthew 11:25-27 (see Notes on those verses), but the opening clause that introduces them is peculiar to St. Luke, and is noticeable as the one instance where the word "rejoiced," which appears in the Magnificat (Luke 1:47), is used of our Lord's human feeling of exultation. It indicates what one may call the enthusiasm of spiritual joy more than any other synonym, and conveys the impression that the disciples must have noticed something exceptional in their Lord's look and manner. The verbal agreement with St. Matthew indicates that both the Evangelists must have drawn from a common source, documentary or oral.

Verse 21. - In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit. More than "rejoiced;" the Greek word rather signifies "exulted." Very rarely in the holy story of the life of lives is a hint given us of any gleam of gladness or of joy irradiating the spirit of the Man of sorrows. The exultation of the Blessed here was based upon his conviction that this first success of his own was but the commencement of a long and weary, but yet, in the end, of a triumphant campaign against the spirits of sin and evil. What these, in their mortal weakness by the aid of their poor imperfect faith in his Name, had been able to accomplish, was an earnest, a pledge, of the mighty work which his followers would, in the power of the same Name, be enabled to effect in the coming ages. In that solemn hour did Messiah see, in the far future, of "the travail of his soul," and was satisfied. The absence of all sign of joy in the life of our Lord is well brought out in that touching legend which we find in the spurious letter of P. Lentulus to the senate, that he wept often, but that no one had ever seen him smile. That thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Looking upon his servants after their return from their successful mission, a group made up certainly for the most part of poor untutored men - fishers, artisans, and the like, children of the people, without rank or position - Jesus thanks the Father that, in the persons of the men chosen to be the instruments of his work, he has looked away from all the ordinary machinery of human influence. As he gazes upon the band of successful missionaries, Jesus thanks the Father that henceforth his servants, if they would be successful, must owe the powers which gave them success entirely to his training, and not to the world's. Even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. This is "the only record, outside St. John's Gospel, of a prayer like that which we find in John 17. For the most part, we may believe, those prayers were offered apart, on the lonely hillside, in the darkness of night; or, it may be, the disciples shrank in their reverence, or perhaps in the consciousness of their want of capacity, from attempting to record what was so unspeakably sacred. But it is noteworthy that in this exceptional instance we find, both in the prayer and the teaching that follows it in St. Matthew and St. Luke, turns of thought and phrase almost absolutely identical with what is most characteristic of St. John. It is as though this isolated fragment of a higher teaching had been preserved by them as a witness that there was a region upon which they scarcely dared to enter, but into which men were to be led afterwards by the beloved disciple, to whom the Spirit gave power to recall what had been above the reach of the other reporters of his Master's teaching" (Dean Plumptre).
