SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:21
En aquella misma hora Jess se alegr en espíritu, y dijo: Te confieso, oh Padre, Seor del cielo y de la tierra, que escondiste estas cosas a los sabios y entendidos, y las has revelado a los pequeos; así, Padre, porque así te agrad.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 10:21
Verse 21. Rejoiced in spirit] Was truly and heartily joyous: felt an inward triumph. But tw pneumati, tw agiw, the HOLY Spirit, is the reading here of BCDKL, six others; the three Syriac, later Persic, Coptic, AEthiopic, Armenian, Vulgate, all the Itala except one, and Augustin and Bede. These might be considered sufficient authority to admit the word into the text. I thank thee] Bishop PEARCE justly observes, the thanks are meant to be given to God for revealing them to babes, not for hiding them from the others. See on Matt. xi. 25.
Thou hast hid] That is, thou hast not revealed them to the scribes and Pharisees, who idolized their own wisdom; but thou hast revealed them to the simple and humble of heart.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in Spirit , etc.] In his human soul: his heart was filled with joy, not so much at the success of the seventy disciples, and the subjection of the devils to them, as in the view he had of the spread of the Gospel, and of the revelation and application of the truths of it to multitudes of mean and despicable persons, while it was rejected by the wise and learned; and particularly at the sovereign and distinguishing grace of God towards the elect, whose names are written in heaven; upon the mention of which his soul was so affected, that he broke out in, an exulting strain, into thanksgivings to God, in the following manner, and said, I thank thee, O Father , etc.] In three ancient copies of Beza's, and in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions it is read, in the Holy Spirit; and the Persic version reads, he spake, or confabulated with the Holy Spirit: but the former reading and sense are best. (See Gill on Matthew 11:25-26) Ver. 22. All things are delivered to me of my Father , etc.] In some ancient copies, and in the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, before these words, are read, and turning to his disciples he said, all things, etc. and no man knoweth who the Son is ; what is his name, his nature, his perfections and glory; and how he is the Son of God, his only begotten Son: but the Father ; who begat him, and whose own, and proper Son he is: and who the Father is ; what are his perfections, purposes, grace, greatness, mind, and will: but the Son ; who is of him, and lay in his bosom: and he to whom the Son will reveal him : in himself, by his Spirit; (See Gill on Matthew 11:27).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-24 - All our victories over Satan, are obtained by power derived from Jesu Christ, and he must have all the praise. But let us beware of spiritual pride, which has been the destruction of many. Our Lord rejoiced at the prospect of the salvation of many souls. It was fit that particula notice should be taken of that hour of joy; there were few such, for He was a man of sorrows: in that hour in which he saw Satan fall, an heard of the good success of his ministers, in that hour he rejoiced He has ever resisted the proud, and given grace to the humble. The mor simply dependent we are on the teaching, help, and blessing of the So of God, the more we shall know both of the Father and of the Son; the more blessed we shall be in seeing the glory, and hearing the words of the Divine Saviour; and the more useful we shall be made in promotin his cause.

21. The best texts omit Jesus.Rejoiced. See on 1 Pet. i. 6.
In spirit. The best texts add tw aJgiw, the holy, and render in the Holy Spirit.
I thank. See on Matt. xi. 25. From this point to ver. 25, compare Matt. xi. 25-27, and xiii. 16, 17.
Prudent. See on Matt. xi. 25.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
10:21 {In that same hour} (en autei tei hwrai). Literally, "at the hour itself," almost a demonstrative use of autos (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 686) and in Luke alone in the N.T. (#2:38; 10:21; 12:12; 20:19). #Mt 11:25 uses the demonstrative here, "at that time" (en ekeinwi twi kairwi). {Rejoiced in the Holy Spirit} (egalliasato twi pneumati twi hagiwi). First aorist middle of the late verb agalliaw for agallw, to exult. Always in the middle in the N.T. save #Lu 1:47 in Mary's _Magnificat_. this holy joy of Jesus was directly due to the Holy Spirit. It is joy in the work of his followers, their victories over Satan, and is akin to the joy felt by Jesus in #Joh 4:32-38 when the vision of the harvest of the world stirred his heart. The rest of this verse is precisely like #Mt 11:25f., a peculiarly Johannine passage in Matthew and Luke, but not in Mark, and so from Q (the logia of Jesus). It has disturbed critics who are unwilling to admit the Johannine style and type of teaching as genuine, but here it is. See on Matthew for discussion. "That God had proved his independence of the human intellect is a matter for thankfulness. Intellectual gifts, so far from being necessary, are often a hindrance" (Plummer).
