22All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.
23And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:
24For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.
25And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?
26And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?
27And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.
