All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. This phrase emphasizes the authority and divine commission given to Jesus by God the Father. In the context of the Gospel of Matthew, this statement underscores Jesus' unique role in God's redemptive plan. The concept of being "entrusted" suggests a transfer of authority and responsibility, which aligns with the biblical theme of Jesus as the mediator between God and humanity. This echoes the Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah, such as in Isaiah 9:6-7, where the government is said to rest on His shoulders. The phrase also reflects the intimate relationship between the Father and the Son, a central theme in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospel of John (John 3:35, John 5:22-23). No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe central figure in this verse, who speaks of His unique relationship with the Father and His authority to reveal the Father to others. 2. God the Father The one who has entrusted all things to Jesus, highlighting the intimate and exclusive relationship between the Father and the Son. 3. The Disciples While not directly mentioned in this verse, they are the primary audience of Jesus' teachings and the ones to whom He reveals the Father. 4. The Jewish Audience The broader context includes Jesus addressing the people of Israel, who are familiar with the concept of God as Father but are being introduced to the unique Sonship of Jesus. 5. The Revelation Event The act of Jesus choosing to reveal the Father to others, which is a divine and sovereign act. Teaching Points The Sovereignty of JesusJesus has been entrusted with all things by the Father, indicating His divine authority and sovereignty. Believers can trust in His power and control over all aspects of life. The Unique Relationship The exclusive knowledge between the Father and the Son underscores the divine nature of Jesus. This relationship is foundational to understanding the Trinity and the nature of God. Revelation through Jesus The only way to truly know God the Father is through Jesus Christ. This calls for a personal relationship with Jesus as the means to understand and experience God. The Gift of Revelation Jesus chooses to reveal the Father to those He wills. This is a reminder of the grace involved in our understanding of God, prompting gratitude and humility. Evangelism and Discipleship As followers of Christ, we are called to share the revelation of God through Jesus with others, participating in His mission to make the Father known.(27) All things are delivered.--Literally, were delivered, as looking back on the moment of the gift. The "all things," though not limited by the context, are shown by it to refer specially to the mysteries of the kingdom implied in the word "reveal." The wider meaning of the words appears more clearly in Matthew 28:18, and in both passages we may trace a formal denial of the claim of the Tempter resting on the assertion that the power and glory of the world had been committed to him (Luke 4:6). Neither knoweth any man the Father.--The Greek implies full and complete knowledge, and in that sense it was true that no one knew the Son as such in all the ineffable mystery of His being and His work but the Father; that no one fully entered into the Fatherhood of God but He whose relation to Him had been from eternity one of Sonship. To those only who knew God in Christ was the Fatherhood of which Jews and Gentiles had had partial glimpses revealed in all its completeness. To whomsoever the Son will reveal him.--The Greek gives more than the mere future--is willing to reveal.
