Matthew 13:16-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ But blessed (happy, fortunate, and ^[a]to be envied) are your eyes because they do see, and your ears because they do hear.

¹⁷ Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men [men who were upright and in right standing with God] yearned to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
