Luke 10:23

Luke 10:23

Jesus Rejoices in the Spirit

21 ^aIn that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

22 ^aAll things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and ^bno one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”

23 Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, ^a“Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;

24 for I tell you ^athat many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 And behold, a certain¹ lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, ^a“Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

Turning to the disciples (strafeiv prov touv maqhtav). Second aorist passive of strefw as in Luke 9:55. The prayer was a soliloquy though uttered in the presence of the Seventy on their return. Now Jesus turned and spoke "privately" or to the disciples (the Twelve, apparently), whether on this same occasion or a bit later.

Blessed (makarioi). A beatitude, the same adjective as in Matthew 5:3-11. A beatitude of privilege very much like that in Matthew 5:13-16. Jesus often repeated his sayings.
