Scripture spotlight
Matthew 11:27
bible
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
Mentioned as the Matthean parallel to Luke 10:22 to show the saying about the unique mutual knowledge of Father and Son is not isolated to Luke.
Used by the host to challenge the claim that the Synoptic Gospels have only a 'low Christology,' since Jesus claims unique authority and exclusive mutual knowledge with the Father.
Quoted to argue only the Son truly knows the Father and vice versa, which the host used as evidence for Christ's divine, infinite knowledge.
Used in the discussion of the hypothetical Q source to argue that even an early sayings source portrays Jesus as uniquely knowing the Father and sharing in what the Father has, implying divinity rather than Islam.
