20Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “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 was well-pleasing in Your sight.
22All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”
23Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
