This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Turning to the disciples (strapheis pros tous mathētas). Second aorist passive of strephō as in Luk 9:55. The prayer was a soliloquy though uttered in the presence of the Seventy on their return. Now Jesus turned and spoke “privately” or to the disciples (the Twelve, apparently), whether on this same occasion or a bit later.
Blessed (makarioi). A beatitude, the same adjective as in Mat 5:3-11. A beatitude of privilege very much like that in Mat 5:13-16. Jesus often repeated his sayings.
