Luke 10:22

22 "I've been given it all by my Father! Only the Father knows who the Son is and only the Son knows who the Father is. The Son can introduce the Father to anyone he wants to."

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 All the same, the great triumph is not in your authority over evil, but in God's authority over you and presence with you. Not what you do for God but what God does for you - that's the agenda for rejoicing."
21 At that, Jesus rejoiced, exuberant in the Holy Spirit. "I thank you, Father, Master of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the know-it-alls and showed them to these innocent newcomers. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.
22 "I've been given it all by my Father! Only the Father knows who the Son is and only the Son knows who the Father is. The Son can introduce the Father to anyone he wants to."
23 He then turned in a private aside to his disciples. "Fortunate the eyes that see what you're seeing!
24 There are plenty of prophets and kings who would have given their right arm to see what you are seeing but never got so much as a glimpse, to hear what you are hearing but never got so much as a whisper." Defining "Neighbor"
