I'm currently reading Joachim Jeremias' New Testament Theology, and I'll be periodically passing some choice pieces.
Jeremias is almost always thought-provoking and interesting.
"As we saw, Matt. 11.27 par. Luke 10.22 is a four-line stanza. The first line introduces the them: 'My Father has given me all things'. [This] is a technical term for the transmission of doctrine, knowledge and holy lore. Thus [this] like vs. 25, designates the mystery of revelation, and the first line means: 'My Father has given me a full revelation'."
