Contextual Meaning
This incident followed the preceding one immediately ( Luke 10:21). The subject of joy continues, and the section on the responsibilities and rewards of discipleship reaches its climax here.

This understanding constituted a unique privilege that Jesus pointed out to them. [source][source][source]
The two parts of this section occur elsewhere in Jesus" ministry ( Luke 10:21-22 in Matthew 11:25-27, and Luke 10:23-24 in Matthew 13:16-17). This suggests that Jesus said these things on more than one occasion. [source][source][source]
