Context of Luke 10:24

22“My Father has turned everything over to me. Only the Father knows who the Son is. And no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.” 23He turned to his disciples in private and said to them, “How blessed you are to see what you’ve seen. I can guarantee that many prophets and kings wanted to see and hear what you’ve seen and heard, but they didn’t.” 25Then an expert in Moses’ Teachings stood up to test Jesus. He asked, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26Jesus answered him, “What is written in Moses’ Teachings? What do you read there?”
