¹⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, ^(A)for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but ^(B)My Father who is in heaven.

¹⁷ that ^(A)the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, ^(B)may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, ^18 (C)the eyes of your ^[a]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is ^(D)the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, ^(A)‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ ^(B)Therefore everyone who ^[a]has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

^16 (A)to reveal His Son in me, that ^(B)I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with ^(C)flesh and blood,

²⁰ And we know that the ^(A)Son of God has come and ^(B)has given us an understanding, ^(C)that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. ^(D)This is the true God ^(E)and eternal life.

Jesus Gives True Rest^(A)

^25 (B)At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that ^(C)You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent ^(D)and have revealed them to babes. ²⁶ Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. ^27 (E)All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. ^(F)Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

Our Final Victory

⁵⁰ Now this I say, brethren, that ^(A)flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

¹⁶ But ^(A)blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; ¹⁷ for assuredly, I say to you ^(B)that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

Call to Apostleship^(A)

^11 (B)But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. ¹² For ^(C)I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came ^(D)through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
