For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. The privilege of the disciples' historical position: the prophets and righteous people who longed to see the messianic fulfillment did not see it. The disciples are living in the moment that the entire prophetic tradition was pointing toward. The longing of the prophets and the seeing of the disciples create the contrast that makes the disciples' position extraordinary.
