Matthew 11:27

“Because he "has seen the Father", Jesus Christ is the only one who knows him and can reveal him.” — Catechism footnote: Jn 6:46; cf. Mt 11:27

“In the first, Jesus confesses the Father, acknowledges, and blesses him because he has hidden the mysteries of the Kingdom from those who think themselves learned and has revealed them to infants, the poor of the Beatitudes.” — Catechism footnote: Cf. Mt 11:25-27 and Lk 10:21-23.

“Humility makes us recognize that "no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him," that is, "to little children."” — Catechism footnote: Mt 11:25-27.

“Well before this, Jesus referred to himself as "the Son" who knows the Father, as distinct from the "servants" God had earlier sent to his people; he is superior even to the angels.” — Catechism footnote: Cf. Mt 11:27; 21:34-38; 24:36.

“Such is first of all the case with the intimate and immediate knowledge that the Son of God made man has of his Father.” — Catechism footnote: Cf. Mk 14:36; Mt 11:27; Jn 1:18; 8:55; etc.

“(Matt. 11:27.)” — the author cites it

“…and God, declares: “No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Cf. Matt. xi. 27.

“But when the Word of God says, “No man knoweth the Father but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him,” He declares that no one can know God but by the help of divine grace coming from above, with a certain divine inspiration.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“Finally, even He Himself, in the Gospel, did not say that no one has seen the Father, save the Son, nor any one the Son, save the Father; but His words are: “No one knoweth the Son, save the Father; nor any one the Father, save the Son.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“But to a nature that is incorporeal and for the most part intellectual, no other attribute is appropriate save that of knowing or being known, as the Saviour Himself declares when He says, “No man knoweth the Son, save the Father; nor does any one know the Father, save the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“…“The head of Christ is God;” seeing clearly also that it is written, “No one knoweth the Father, save the Son, nor doth any one know the Son, save the Father” (for who can know what wisdom is, save He who called it into being? or, who can understand clearly what truth is, save the Father of truth? who can investigate…” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

““No man knoweth the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son shall reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“…also that the Son should be honoured as the Father is honoured, and “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father,” and “no man knoweth the Father save the Son,” in all which passages there is no hint given to those who receive these declarations as genuine, of any variation of glory, or of essence, or anything else,…” — editor's note: S. Matt. xi. 27

“…exalted words, “I am in the Father, and the Father in Me,” and, “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father,” and, “None hath seen the Son, save the Father.”” — editor's note: Apparently an inexact quotation of S. Matt. xi. 27.

“All things have been delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knoweth the Father but the Son, or the Son but the Father, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 25–27.

“Wherefore, although “no one knows the Father, except the Son, nor the Son except the Father, and those to whom the Son will reveal Him,” yet all [beings] do know this one fact at least, because reason, implanted in their minds, moves them, and reveals to them [the truth] that there is one God, the Lord of all.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“And, in the next place, if either the Mother or her seed knew and proclaimed those things which were of the truth (and the Father is truth), then on their theory the Saviour spoke falsely when He said, “No one knoweth the Father but the Son,” unless indeed they maintain that their seed or Mother is No-one.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“…known, declared, “No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whom the Son has willed to reveal [Him].”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27; Luke x. 22.

“Vain, therefore, are those who, because of that declaration, “No man knoweth the Father, but the Son,” do introduce another unknown Father.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27; Luke x. 22.

“Likewise does the Lord also say: “All things are delivered to Me by My Father;” manifestly by Him who made all things; for He did not deliver to Him the things of another, but His own.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“With us, however, the Son alone knows the Father, and has Himself unfolded “the Father’s bosom.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“…no man cometh unto the Father, but by me;” and, “No man can come to me, except the Father draw him;” and, “All things are delivered unto me by the Father;” and, “As the Father quickeneth (the dead), so also doth the Son;” and again, “If ye had known me, ye would have known the Father also.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“He, moreover, affirms also that to no man is the Father known, but to His Son; and promises that, as the Son of the Father, He will confess those who confess Him, and deny those who deny Him, before His Father.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27; Luke x. 22.

“With regard, however, to the Father, the very gospel which is common to us will testify that He was never visible, according to the word of Christ: “No man knoweth the Father, save the Son.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“Since the Lord Jesus Christ sent the apostles to preach, (our rule is) that no others ought to be received as preachers than those whom Christ appointed; for “no man knoweth the Father save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“And if, as the Saviour also says, ‘No one knoweth the Father, save the Son, and he to whom the Son shall reveal Him,’ and if on Philip’s asking, ‘Shew us the Father,’ He said not, ‘Behold the creation,’ but, ‘He that hath seen Me, hath seen the Father,’ reasonably doth…” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“For how in that case can any at all know God as their Father? for adoption there could not be apart from the real Son, who says, ‘No one knoweth the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.’” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“…of Him surpasses all (since God Himself says, ‘No one shall see My face and live’), yet the Son has declared, ‘No one knoweth the Father, save the Son,’ therefore the Word is different from all things originate, in that He alone knows and alone sees the Father, as He says, ‘Not that any one hath seen the…” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“Chapter XXVII.—Texts Explained; Tenthly, Matthew xi. 27; John iii. 35, &c. These texts intended to preclude the Sabellian notion of the Son; they fall in with the Catholic doctrine concerning the Son; they are explained by ‘so’ in John v. 26.” — the author cites it

“For that Son whom He declares not to know the day, Him He declares to know the Father; for ‘No one,’ He says, ‘knoweth the Father save the Son.’” — editor's note: Mat. xi. 27.

“And it follows for another reason, if the Word is one, and the Son another, that the Son is superior to the Word; for ‘no one knoweth the Father save the Son,’ not the Word.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“He who is over all is God; for thus He speaks boldly, “All things are delivered unto me of my Father.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“For no one knoweth the Father, save the Son, nor the Son, save the Father.” — editor's note: St. Matt. xi. 27.

“…and to speak briefly, remember thou what is written in the Gospels, that none knoweth the Son but the Father, neither knoweth any the Father save the Son.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27; John x. 15; xvii. 25.

“…also, with the Holy Ghost, knoweth the Father fully: For neither, saith He, knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“Perfect Father, He begat a perfect Son, and delivered all things to Him who is begotten: (for all things, He saith, are delivered unto Me of My Father:) and is honoured by the Only-begotten: for, I honour My Father, saith the Son; and again, Even as I have kept My Father’s commandments, and abide in His love.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“No man knoweth the father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son shall reveal Him.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“…I have seen with My Father, these I speak: the Word possessed of power, and reigning over all things: for the Father hath committed all things unto the Son.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27; John v. 22.

“For it is Jesus Himself, not I, who says, All things are delivered unto Me of My Father; and of the Holy Ghost He says, When He, the Spirit of Truth, shall come, and the rest.…He shall glorify Me; for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“For none knoweth the Father except the Son, neither can any one know the Son adequately except the Father alone who hath begotten him.” — editor's note: Cf. Matt. xi. 27

“…things are delivered unto me by My Father;’ and, ‘No man knoweth the Father but the Son; nor the Son but the Father, and they to whom the Son will reveal Him.’” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“…that the Father alone could discern this most divine mystery; ‘No man,’ said He, ‘knoweth the Son but the Father, and no man knoweth the Father save the Son.’” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27

“No one knows God but the Son, and he to whom the Son shall reveal Him.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“Of late, then, God was known by the coming of Christ: “For no man knoweth God but the Son, and he to whom the Son shall reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27; Luke x. 22.

““For no man knoweth the Son but the Father, nor the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son shall reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

““No one,” says the Lord, “hath known the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son shall reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27; Luke x. 22.

“Wherefore also the apostle designates as “the express image (χαρακτῆρα) of the glory of the Father” the Son, who taught the truth respecting God, and expressed the fact that the Almighty is the one and only God and Father, “whom no man knoweth but the Son, and he to whom the Son shall reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“VIII. He then who would live the true life is enjoined first to know Him “whom no one knows, except the Son reveal (Him).”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“Nay, but they deny that very thing, which is the foundation of our belief, seeing that they know not the Father, who have denied the Son.” — editor's note: “In Jewry is God known.”—Ps. lxxvi. 1. Yet they deny the Son, and therefore know not the Father.—Matt. xi. 27. Cf. S. John i. 18.

“Therefore, it being undeniable that the Son has received at the hands of the Father, as it is written, “All things have been given unto Me of My Father,” yet, in saying, “Who was first in giving to Him?” the Apostle has not denied that the Son has received gifts of the Father, by virtue of His Nature, but he has…” — editor's note: S. Matt. xi. 27.

“He knows God the Father, as He Himself says: “No man knoweth the Father but the Son and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.”” — editor's note: S. Matt. xi. 27.

““For no man knoweth the Son, but the Father.”” — editor's note: S. Matt. xi. 27.

“There is, then, a Unity of knowledge, since, as the Father, Who gives the Spirit of revelation, reveals, so also the Son reveals, for it is written: “No one knoweth the Son save the Father, neither doth any one know the Father save the Son, and he to whom the Son shall will to reveal Him.”” — editor's note: S. Matt. xi. 27.

“The Son received all things from the Father, for He Himself said: “All things have been delivered unto Me from My Father.”” — editor's note: S. Matt. xi. 27.

““The testimony of the Lord is sure;” for, “no man knoweth the Father save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him,” which things have been hidden from the wise and revealed to babes; for, “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“Matthew proceeds thus: “At that time Jesus answered and said, I make my acknowledgment to Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,” and so on, down to where we read, “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 25–30.

“Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me, in that I am meek and lowly of heart.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 25–29

“And assuredly He is the Lord, Who saith, “All things have been delivered unto Me of My Father;” and He is the Master, Who saith, “Come unto Me, all ye who labor, and learn of Me;” and yet what learn we?” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27, 28

“For He says, “All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27

“And therefore He says, “No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him:” since the Father reveals by the Son, that is, by His Word.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27

““All things are delivered unto Me of My Father.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 25–27.

““All things are delivered unto Me of My Father,” saith He.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“For, “No man has seen God at any time, except the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him:” and, “None knoweth the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“In another place also He saith: “No one knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any one the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“…of the Son, is akin to what He says elsewhere, “Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whom the Son shall be pleased to reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“…worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth” ( c. iv. 24 ); and again, that it is impossible to see God; “that no man knoweth” Him, “save the Son” ( Matt. xi. 27 ); that He is the Father of the true and Only-Begotten; and all other things that are told us of Him.” — the author cites it

“For when He saith, “All things are given over to Me of My Father” ( Matt. xi. 27 ), He speaketh of this kind of giving over; as also in another place He saith, “Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me” ( c. xvii. 6 ); and…” — the author cites it

““All things are delivered unto me of my Father.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“For “neither knoweth any man the Father,” saith He, “save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27; Luke x. 22.

“So with the passage “No man knoweth the Son but the Father;” even here there is no charge of ignorance against the Spirit, but only a testimony that knowledge of His own nature naturally belongs to the Father first.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

““No man knoweth the Father save the Son.”” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27, “οὐδεὶς οἶδε τὸν πατέρα εἰ μὴ ὁ Υἱ& 231·ς” substituted for “οὐ δὲ τὸν πατέρα τὶς ἐπιγνώσκει εἰ μὴ ὁ Υἱ& 231·ς.”

“To the Son only is He known, for no one knoweth the Father save the Son and him to whom the Son willeth to reveal Him, nor yet the Son save the Father.” — editor's note: Cf. St. Matt. xi. 27.

“He says, All things are delivered Me of My Father, and no one knoweth the Son but the Father, neither knoweth any the Father save the Son, and he to Whom the Son will reveal Him.” — editor's note: St. Matt. xi. 27.

“And does He not grant to the believer in Him all perfection of blessing when He says, No one hath known the Son save the Father, neither hath any known the Father save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal Him?” — editor's note: St. Matt. xi. 27.

“But all this applies to us men only, and not to Him, through Whom are all things, the Angel of mighty Counsel, Who said, No one knoweth the Son save the Father: neither doth any one know the Father save the Son, and him to whom the Son hath willed to reveal Him.” — editor's note: St. Matt. xi. 27.

“(Matt. 11:27) And because no man knoweth the Father but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him, and the Son by the dispensation (ἐκ τῆς οἰκονομίας) was about to reveal the Father; for this reason He saith, And God is glorified in Him.” — the author cites it

“Or, ‘embracing,’ because, “None knoweth the Father but the Son.” [Matt 11:27]” — the author cites it

Because He had said, “I confess unto thee, Father, because thou hast hid these things from the wise,” that you should not suppose that He thus thanks the Father as though He Himself was excluded from this power, He…

For if we conceive of this thing according to our weakness, when he who receives begins to have, he who gives begins to be without. Or when He says, “All things are committed to him,” He may mean, not the heaven and…

Or that we may not think that there is any thing less in Him than in God, therefore He says this.

For if He has aught less in His power than the Father has, then all that the Father has, are not His; for by begetting Him the Father gave power to the Son, as by begetting Him He gave all things which He has in His…

And also in the mutual knowledge between the Father and the Son, He teaches us that there is nothing in the Son beyond what was in the Father; for it follows, “And none knoweth the Son but the Father, nor does any…

By this that He only knows the Father, He shews covertly that He is of one substance with the Father. As though He had said, What wonder if I be Lord of all, when I have somewhat yet greater, namely to know the…

For this mutual knowledge proclaims that they are of one substance, since He that should know the Son, should know the Father also in the Son, since all things were delivered to Him by the Father.

When He says, “Neither does any know the Father but the Son,” He does not mean that all men are altogether ignorant of Him; but that none knows Him with that knowledge wherewith He knows Him; which may also be said…

And because their substance is inseparable, it is enough sometimes to name the Father, sometimes the Son; nor is it possible to separate from either His Spirit, who is especially called the Spirit of truth.

Let the heretic Eunomius [ed. note: Eunomius, the chief of the Anomaean branch of the Arians, taught that there was no mystery about the Divine nature. He is opposed by St. Basil, and by St. Chrysostom in his…

The Father is revealed by the Son, that is, by His Word. For if the temporal and transitory word which we utter both shews itself, and what we wish to convey, how much more the Word of God by which all things were…

When He said, “None knoweth the Son but the Father,” He did not add, And he to whom the Father will reveal the Son. But when He said, “None knoweth the Father bet the Son,” He added, “And he to whom the Son will…

If then He reveals the Father, He reveals Himself also. But the one he omits as a thing manifest, but mentions the other because there might be a doubt concerning it. Herein also He instructs us that He is so one…

“And also our Lord said:—All things have been delivered unto Me by My Father.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

“For the treasure fails not, for it is the wisdom of God; and the steward is our Lord Jesus Christ, as He testified when He said:—All things have been committed to Me by My Father.” — editor's note: Matt. xi. 27.

Matthew 11:27 and Luke 10:22 share the same wording (25 words).
