Matthew 11:27

Context
11:27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father. 1  No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides 2  to reveal him.

1 sn This verse has been noted for its conceptual similarity to teaching in John’s Gospel (10:15; 17:2). The authority of the Son and the Father are totally intertwined.

2 tn Or “wishes”; or “intends”; or “plans” (cf. BDAG 182 s.v. βούλομαι 2.b). Here it is the Son who has sovereignty.
