Excerpt from The Synoptic Gospels, Vol. 2 of 2: Edited With an Introduction and a Commentary At that time Jesus answered and said, I praise thee, 0 Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and the clever, and hast revealed them unto the simple. Even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. All was delivered unto me by my Father: and no man knoweth the Son except the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father except the Son, and he to whom the Son would reveal him.
