22 All things have ^[a] been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son desires ^[b] to reveal Him."

Luke 10:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:22

All things are delivered to me of my Father
In some ancient copies, and in the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, before these words, are read, "and turning to his disciples he said, all things"

and no man knoweth who the Son is;
what is his name, his nature, his perfections and glory; and how he is the Son of God, his only begotten Son:

but the Father;
who begat him, and whose own, and proper Son he is:

and who the Father is;
what are his perfections, purposes, grace, greatness, mind, and will:

but the Son;
who is of him, and lay in his bosom:

and he to whom the Son will reveal him:
in himself, by his Spirit; (See Gill on Matthew 11:27).

Luke 10:22 In-Context

20 However, don't rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

21 In that same hour He rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and the learned and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this was Your good pleasure.

22 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son desires to reveal Him."

23 Then turning to His disciples He said privately, "The eyes that see the things you see are blessed!

24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see yet didn't see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn't hear them."
