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 <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6-7</a>, 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 (<a href="/john/3-35.htm">John 3:35</a>, <a href="/john/5-22.htm">John 5:22-23</a>).No one knows the Son except the Father, This part of the verse highlights the unique and exclusive relationship between the Father and the Son. The term "knows" in biblical context often implies a deep, intimate understanding rather than mere intellectual knowledge. This exclusivity points to the divine nature of Jesus, affirming His deity and pre-existence, as seen in <a href="/john/1.htm">John 1:1-2</a>. The Father’s unique knowledge of the Son underscores the mystery of the Trinity, where each Person of the Godhead is distinct yet fully God. This relationship is foundational for understanding the nature of Jesus' mission and His teachings.and no one knows the Father except the Son Here, the text emphasizes that the Son has a unique and unparalleled understanding of the Father. This statement asserts Jesus' authority to reveal God to humanity, as He is the only one who truly comprehends the Father’s nature and will. This is consistent with the prologue of John's Gospel, where it is stated that the Son, who is in closest relationship with the Father, has made Him known (<a href="/john/1-18.htm">John 1:18</a>). This exclusive knowledge is a testament to Jesus' divine origin and His role as the ultimate revelation of God.and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. This phrase introduces the concept of divine revelation and election. It suggests that knowledge of God is not attained through human effort but is a gift granted by the Son. This aligns with the biblical theme of God's sovereignty in salvation, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/1-4.htm">Ephesians 1:4-5</a>, where believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. The idea of Jesus choosing to reveal the Father also speaks to the grace and mercy inherent in the gospel message, where salvation is offered not based on human merit but on divine initiative. This revelation is central to the mission of Jesus, who came to make the Father known and to reconcile humanity to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The central figure in this verse, who speaks of His unique relationship with the Father and His authority to reveal the Father to others. 2. <a href="/topical/g/god_the_father.htm">God the Father</a> The one who has entrusted all things to Jesus, highlighting the intimate and exclusive relationship between the Father and the Son. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a> 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. <a href="/topical/t/the_jewish_audience.htm">The Jewish Audience</a> 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. <a href="/topical/t/the_revelation_event.htm">The Revelation Event</a> The act of Jesus choosing to reveal the Father to others, which is a divine and sovereign act.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_sovereignty_of_jesus.htm">The Sovereignty of Jesus</a> Jesus has been entrusted with all things by the Father, indicating His divine authority and sovereignty.
