Luke
10:21 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 [Sophos] and prudent, [Skilled and trained]
and hast revealed
them unto BABES:
even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
God HIDES g613. apokrupto,
ap-ok-roop´-to; from 575 and 2928; to conceal away (i.e.
fully); figuratively, to keep secret: — hide.

whereas the one class will be quite frank in
its language about the gods and about sacrifices and
oaths,
and by ridiculing other
people will probably convert others to its
views,
unless it meets with
punishment,
the other class, while holding the same
opinions as the former,
yet being
specially “gifted by nature'' and being full of
craft and guile,
is the class out
of which are manufactured many diviners
and experts in
all manner of jugglery;
and from it, too, there spring sometimes tyrants
and demagogues and generals,
and those who
plot by means of peculiar mystic rites of their
own,
and the devices
of those who are called “sophists.” Of these
there may be many kinds;

933a Distinct from this is the type which,
by means of sorceries
and incantations [epōdais] and SPELLS
(as they are called),
not only
convinces those who attempt to cause injury that
they really can do so,
but convinces
also their victims that they certainly are being
injured
by those who
possess the power of bewitchment.
In respect of
all such matters it is neither easy to perceive
what is the real truth,
nor, if one does
perceive it, is it easy to convince others.
And it is
futile to approach the souls of men
