Context of Luke 10:24

22All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son desires to reveal him.” 23Then turning to his disciples he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear but didn’t hear them.” 25Then an expert in the law stood up to test him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26“What is written in the law?” he asked him. “How do you read it?”
