²⁵ At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father,^(B) Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.^{(C) 26} Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

²⁷ “All things have been committed to me^(D) by my Father.^(E) No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.^(F)

¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.^{(A) 17} For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see^(B) but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
