In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said,
I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.
All Commentaries on Luke 10:21 Go To Luke 10

AD 1849
He rejoiced in the Holy Spirit. In almost all Greek copies, we read in spirit, without holy. And it is expounded of Christ's own spirit. (Witham)
I give thanks In this verse we see plainly refuted the heretical Marcion, and his follower Manicheus, who asserted that God was not the creator of the earth, or of any thing existing on the earth. St. Epiphanius says, that in a gospel written by Marcion, the words Father and earth were entirely omitted. Who does not here deplore the blindness of heretics, who, in order to spread their errors, do not hesitate thus to corrupt the original Scripture received by the whole Christian world!!! (Denis the Carthusian)
