Luke 10:21

On that same occasion ¹  Jesus ²  rejoiced ³  in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise ⁴  you, Father, Lord ⁵  of heaven and earth, because ⁶  you have hidden these things from the wise ⁷  and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will. ⁸

¹ tn Grk “In that same hour” (L&N 67.1).

² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn Jesus rejoiced. The account of the mission in 10:1-24 ends with several remarks about joy.

⁴ tn Or “thank.”

⁵ sn The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3-6.

⁶ tn Or “that.”

⁷ sn See 1 Cor 1:26-31.

⁸ tn Grk “for (to do) thus was well pleasing before you,” BDAG 325 s.v. ἔμπροσθεν 1.δ; speaking of something taking place “before” God is a reverential way of avoiding direct connection of the action to him.
