Matius 11:27

11:27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father. ¹  No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides ²  to reveal him.

Matius 25:3

25:3 When ³  the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take extra ⁴  olive oil ⁵  with them.

[11:27]  ¹ sn This verse has been noted for its conceptual similarity to teaching in John’s Gospel (10:15; 17:2). The authority of the Son and the Father are totally intertwined.

[11:27]  ² tn Or “wishes”; or “intends”; or “plans” (cf. BDAG 182 s.v. βούλομαι 2.b). Here it is the Son who has sovereignty.

[25:3]  ³ tn Grk “For when.” Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.

[25:3]  ⁴ tn The word “extra” is not in the Greek text but is implied. The point is that the five foolish virgins had only the oil in their lamps, but took along no extra supply from which to replenish them. This is clear from v. 8, where the lamps of the foolish virgins are going out because they are running out of oil.

[25:3]  ⁵ tn On the use of olive oil in lamps, see L&N 6.202.
