Matthew 11:25

Context
Jesus’ Invitation

11:25 At that time Jesus said, 1  “I praise 2  you, Father, Lord 3  of heaven and earth, because 4  you have hidden these things from the wise 5  and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.

1 tn Grk “At that time, answering, Jesus said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

2 tn Or “thank.”

3 sn The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3-6.

4 tn Or “that.”

5 sn See 1 Cor 1:26-31.
