(24) TWi DE DUNAMENWi FULAXAI hUMAS APTAISTOUS KAI STHSAI KATENWPION THS DOXHS

KAI EIS PANTAS TOUS AIWNAS, AMHN.
My question is, in verse 24 who has the exceeding joy (AGALLEIASEI) - those who
are being presented, or the one presenting? Since AGALLEIASEI is Dative, does it
connect with MONWi QEWi SWTHRI in verse 25?
It seems most translations and commentaries take the view that it is the ones
being presented as having the exceeding joy, but I am having trouble seeing this
in the text. As I have been teaching myself, I realize I am probably missing
something. I would appreciate any help someone could give me on this verse.
