he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:

for my eyes have seen Your Salvation

All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;
