“… neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him” (Matthew_11:27).
“… no man knoweth… who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him” (Luke 10:22).Moreover: “… Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me” (John 6:45).
