Charles Ellicott 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 — Literally, were delivered, as looking back on the moment of the gift. The “all things,” though not limited by the context, are shown by it to refer especially to the mysteries of the kingdom implied in the word “reveal.” The wider meaning of the words appears more clearly in Matthew 28:18, and in both passages we may trace a formal denial of the Tempter’s claim, which rested on the assertion that the power and glory of the world had been committed to him (Luke 4:6).

Neither knoweth any man the Father — The Greek implies full and complete knowledge. In that sense, it was true that no one knew the Son as such, in all the ineffable mystery of His being and work, except the Father. Likewise, no one fully entered into the Fatherhood of God except the One whose relation to Him had been one of Sonship from eternity. The Fatherhood, of which Jews and Gentiles had only partial glimpses, was revealed in all its completeness only to those who knew God in Christ.

To whomsoever the Son will reveal him — The Greek gives more than the mere future; it implies that the Son is willing to reveal him.
