Footnote:
Matthew 11:27; 28:18. Scott remarks the future tense in the original, as seeming to agree with the prediction of righteous kings and rulers in the latter times of the Church. Compare Psalm 72:1-3; Isaiah 49:23; 60:16, 17. See the national blessing of godly rulers — 2 Chronicles 9:8. Isaiah 1:26.
Matthew 11:27
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Matthew 28:18
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: {teach...: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations}
