Expositor's Bible Commentary 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)

Jesus congratulates the disciples privately on participating in this revelation. The woes that Jesus pronounced earlier on those whose pride will be broken (vv.13–15) are balanced by the blessings of those granted salvation (cf. 1:52–55; 6:20–26).
