Luke 10:23 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:23

And he turned him unto his disciples
Both to the twelve apostles, and seventy disciples;

and said privately;
or to them apart: the phrase "privately" is wanting in the Vulgate Latin version:

blessed are the eyes that see the things that ye see;
the person of the Messiah, his kingdom setting up in the world, miracles wrought by him, and Satan falling before him; (See Gill on Matthew 13:16).

Luke 10:23 In-Context

21 In that hour he gladded in the Holy Ghost, and said, I acknowledge to thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for thou hast hid these things from wise men and prudent, and hast showed them to small children. Yea, Father, for so it pleased before thee. [+In that hour he gladded in the Holy Ghost, and said, I acknowledge to thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that hast hid these things from wise men and prudent, and hast showed them to little (children). Yea, Father, for so it pleased to thee.]

25 And lo! a wise man of the law rose up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what thing shall I do to have everlasting life? [And lo! a wise man of law rose, tempting him, and saying, Master, what thing doing shall I wield everlasting life?]
