The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:27
All things. Not in the widest sense, for this would forestall Matthew 28:18 but all things that are required for my work of manifesting the truth. The utterance is thus both closely parallel to John 8:28 , and also in most intimate connexion with the preceding verses. God's twofold action in hiding the truth from some and revealing it to others is, our Lord says, all of a piece with my whole work. This is all arranged by my Father, and the knowledge of God by any man is no chance... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:27
The Son and the Father. It is remarkable that Jesus almost always used the term "Father" when he spoke of God. And he used the term so constantly that it may even be treated as the key-note of the revelation which he brought. He came to earth in order to bring to men "good news of God;" and the good news may be gathered up into a sentence, "He is your Father. You ought to be anxious about standing in right relations with your Father." It is easy to show how that will open out into an answer... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 11:27
All things are delivered ... - The same doctrine is clearly taught often in the New Testament. See John 3:35; John 6:46; John 10:15; Colossians 1:16-17. It means that Christ has control over all things for the good of his church; that the government of the universe is committed to him “as Mediator,” that he may redeem his people and guide them to glory, Ephesians 1:20-22.No man knoweth the Son - That is, such is the nature of the Son of God, such the mystery of the union between the divine and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 11:27
Matthew 11:27. All things are delivered unto me, &c. Here our Lord seems to address, not so much his disciples, as those of the people that stood near him, with a reference to what he had last spoken. As if he had said, Do not be led, by the example of your great and learned men, to slight and despise me; for mean and humble as my circumstances now appear, all things relating to the salvation of mankind are delivered into my hands, even all authority, power, and judgment. And no man... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:20-30
50. The judgment and mercy of God (Matthew 11:20-30)The Galilean towns of Bethsaida, Chorazin and Capernaum, where Jesus did much of his work, were not as immoral as certain Gentile cities of the Old Testament era such as Tyre, Sidon and Sodom. However, because the Galilean towns had witnessed the ministry of Jesus then deliberately rejected him, they would suffer a more severe judgment than the Gentile towns that had never heard of him. Their greater privilege placed upon them a greater... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 11:27
All things have been delivered unto me of my Father; and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.There is positively no other way to know God except through Christ (John 14:6). Man's only hope of eternal life lies in a knowledge of God, and this is possible only through Jesus Christ. In a practical sense, this means that the New Testament is the only source of accurate knowledge of God in matters... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 11:27
Matthew 11:27. And things are delivered, &c.— "Every thing relating to the salvation of the world is committed by my Father to my care as Mediator." And no one knoweth, &c.—"Knoweth his nature and dignity, what he hath done, and what he is yet to do, for the salvation of the world." Neither knoweth any one the Father, but the Son, &c. "None but the Son and his genuine disciples know the perfections and counsels of the Father." It is evident from this verse, that there is something... read more
