To 'see' is to take in through the heart and mind. It is about understanding.
In the case of Jesus, 'seeing' meant 'knowing' - a Spirit empowered kind of knowing. Those who 'saw' Jesus understood him to be God's very special messenger. Those who simply looked upon his face or his ministry saw nothing more than another street corner magician or rabblerouser.
Andrew said it all in the Gospel of John when he invited his brother, "Come and see."
The invitation still holds today.
