Matthew 11:25
Matthew 11:25 is the 25th verse in the eleventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.
In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort, this verse is:
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
The New International Version translates the passage as:
Here we have the reason for the condemnation in the previous verse, i.e. pride and haughtiness, since Jesus lauds the "little children". Christ uses the word for confess (Ἐξομολογοῦμαί) which is used regularly in the psalms, e.g. "I will confess to Thee with my whole heart", and, "Confess to the Lord, for He is good." Both the KJV and NIV render it as praise. Here we also see Jesus referring to God's dominion over all things (i.e. heaven and earth). MacEvilly points out that God's lordship separates the proud from the humble both in heaven (Satan from the good angels), and on earth (the Apostles from the Pharisees and Scribes). The "little children" portion appears to be an allusion to Psalm 8:2(3), "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise." Jesus contrasts the worldly choosing of those who are rich and intellectual, with God choosing the poor, ignorant and weak.
Glossa Ordinaria: "Because the Lord knew that many would doubt respecting the foregoing matter, namely, that the Jews would not receive Christ whom the Gentile world has so willingly received, He here makes answer to their thoughts; And Jesus answered and said, I confess unto thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth."
Glossa Ordinaria: "That is, Who makest of heaven, or leavest in earthliness, whom Thou wilt. Or literally,"
Augustine: "If Christ, from whom all sin is far, said, I confess, confession is not proper for the sinner only, but sometimes also for him that gives thanks. We may confess either by praising God, or by accusing ourselves. When He said, I confess unto thee, it is, I praise Thee, not I accuse Myself."
