³⁵ The Father loves his Son and has put everything into his hands.

¹⁸ Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. In fact, the Father will show him how to do even greater works than healing this man. Then you will truly be astonished.

² For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.

²² In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge,

²² “My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

²⁷ “My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority. ⁹ What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.

²² God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.
