Context of Matthew 11:27
25At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants. 26Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son desires to reveal him. 28“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Commentaries on Matthew 11:27
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27All things are delivered unto me of my Father - This is a great truth, and the key of the science of salvation. The man Christ Jesus receives from the Father, and in consequence of his union with the eternal Godhead becomes the Lord and sovereign Dispenser of all things. All the springs of the Divine favor are in the hands of Christ, as Priest of God, and atoning Sacrifice for men: all good proceeds from him, as Savior, Mediator, Head, Pattern, Pastor…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 27All 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…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 25-30Verses 25-30 It becomes children to be grateful. When we come to God as a Father, we must remember that he is Lord of heaven and earth, which obliges us to come to him with reverence as to the sovereign Lord of all; yet with confidence, as one able to defend us from evil, and to supply us with all good. Our blessed Lord added a remarkable declaration, that the Father had delivered into his hands all power, authority, and judgment. We are indebted to…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 27Jesus showed his close relationship with the Father. Everything he said and did came from his unity with his Father (see John 10:14–15; 14:6–7; 15:23–24; 16:15; 17:25–26).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2727. All things are delivered unto me of my Father--He does not say, They are revealed--as to one who knew them not, and was an entire stranger to them save as they were discovered to Him--but, They are "delivered over," or "committed," to Me of My Father; meaning the whole administration of the kingdom of grace. So in Joh 3:35, "The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into His hand" (see on Joh 3:35). But though the "all things" in both these…Read the comment
