Verse 27
Here is another of Jesus’ claims to being the Son of God. [Note: Cf. Plummer, p. 168.] Jesus claimed to be the exclusive revealer of God’s message that the "babes" received. Jesus has authority over those to whom He reveals God. Reciprocal knowledge with God the Father assumes a special type of sonship. It reflects relationship more than intellectual attainment. The only way people can know the Father is through the Son (cf. John 14:6). Similarly there are some things about the Son that only the Father knows. Some of what the Son has chosen to reveal concerns the kingdom.
