Robertson Word Pictures - Matthew 11:27 - 11:27


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

All things have been delivered unto me of my Father (panta moi paredothē hupo tou patros mou). This sublime claim is not to be whittled down or away by explanations. It is the timeless aorist like edothē in Mat 28:18 (see note) and “points back to a moment in eternity, and implies the pre-existence of the Messiah” (Plummer). The Messianic consciousness of Christ is here as clear as a bell. It is a moment of high fellowship. Note epiginōskei twice for “fully know.” Note also boulētai = wills, is willing. The Son retains the power and the will to reveal the Father to men.
