Matthew 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.

Mt 28:18; Lu 10:22; Joh 1:18; Joh 3:35; Joh 5:21-29; Joh 6:46; Joh 10:15; Joh 13:3; Joh 14:6-9; Joh 17:2; Joh 17:2,3,6,25,26; 1Co 15:25-27; Eph 1:20-23; Php 2:10,11; Heb 2:8-10; 1Pe 3:22; 1Jo 2:23; 1Jo 5:19,20; 2Jo 1:9

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.
