21 qIn that same hour rhe rejoiced sin the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, tLord of heaven and earth, that uyou have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and vrevealed them to little children; yes, Father, for wsuch was your gracious will. ▼▼Or for so it pleased you well
22 yAll things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is zexcept the Father, or who the Father is aaexcept the Son and anyone abto whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” 23Then turning to the disciples he said privately, ac“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 24For I tell you adthat many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”
