nd turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that
see the things which you see.

10:24. For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see
the things that you see and have not seen them; and to hear the things
that you hear and have not heard them.

10:25. And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him and saying,
