Albert Barnes Commentary 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.]" — Matthew 11:27 (ASV)

All things are delivered, etc. 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 knows the Son. That is, such is the nature of the Son of God; such the mystery of the union between the Divine and human nature; such his exalted character as Divine, that no mortal can fully comprehend him. None but God fully knows him. Had he been a mere man, this language surely would not have been used of him.

Neither knows any man the Father, etc. In the original, this is, "neither knows any one the Father except the Son." That is, no man or angel clearly comprehends the character of the infinite God, but only the Son—the Lord Jesus—and the one to whom he makes the Father known. This he does by revealing the character of God clearly and, more especially, by manifesting the Father's character as a sin-forgiving God to the soul that is weary and heavy-laden (John 17:6).

Neither knows: John 1:18; 1 John 5:20.
