Matthew 13:17
_ _ For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired — rather, “coveted.”
_ _ to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them — Not only were the disciples blessed above the blinded just spoken of, but favored above the most honored and the best that lived under the old economy, who had but glimpses of the things of the new kingdom, just sufficient to kindle in them desires not to be fulfilled to any in their day. In Luke 10:23, Luke 10:24, where the same saying is repeated on the return of the Seventy — the words, instead of “many prophets and righteous men,” are “many prophets and kings”; for several of the Old Testament saints were kings. |
- That many:
Luke 10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
Ephesians 3:5-6 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ... That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hebrews 11:39-40 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: ... God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
1 Peter 1:10-12 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] unto you: ... Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
