Context of Luke 10:25
23And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see. 24For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye behold, and did not see [them]; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear [them].
