A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 10:23

"And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:" — Luke 10:23 (ASV)

Turning to the disciples (στραφεις προς τους μαθητας). Second aorist passive of στρεφω as in 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 (μακαριο). A beatitude, the same adjective as in Mt 5:3-11. A beatitude of privilege very much like that in Mt 5:13-16. Jesus often repeated his sayings.
