Jesus Rejoices in the Father's Will

Luke 10

²¹ _a In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. ²² _b "All ₁ things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and _c no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

²³ Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, _d "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; ²⁴ "for I tell you _e that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it."
