In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Note 6 at Lk. 10:21: The Greek word used here for "rejoiced" is "agalliao" and it means "to leap much for joy; exalt." It is the same word that is used in 1 Peter 1:8 where it was said that we "rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory." Although Jesus was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (Isa. 53:3), He also rejoiced. Jesus promised to give us His joy so that our joy might be full (Jn. 15:11).
Note 7 at Lk. 10:21: Jesus is repeating a familiar theme (Mt. 16:17; Jn. 6:44,65; 7:16-17; 8:43) of revelation knowledge (see note 9 at Jn. 6:45, p. 184).
