Luke 10:21-24

The Kingdom Mission Expanded, Mercy Defined, and the Better Portion Chosen

Luke moves from kingdom mission in the harvest field to judgment against unresponsive cities, from rejoicing over authority to rejoicing over heavenly belonging, from divine revelation to humble reception, from legal questioning to costly mercy, and from anxious service to the better portion of listening to Jesus.

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.”
