For assuredly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous [men] desired to see what you see, and they did not see, and to hear what you hear, and they did not hear."

And turning to His disciples He said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see;

for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and they did not see [them], and to hear what you hear, and they did not hear."

And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight."

to reveal His Son in me, so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

the eyes of your heart having been enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God,

that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height--

and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
