"The 72 disciples returned rejoicing and said to Jesus, 'Lord, even the demons are subject to us because of your name.' Jesus said, 'I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky.
Behold, I have given you the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy, and nothing will harm you.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven.' At that very moment, he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, 'I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned, you've revealed them to the childlike.
No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.' Turning to the disciples in private, he said, 'Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
For I say to you, 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.'" Now, you might recall that this passage follows up on when Jesus sent forth the 72.
