Jesus Gives True Rest

25 ^aAt that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that ^bYou have hidden these things from the wise and prudent ^cand have revealed them to babes.

26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

27 ^aAll things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. ^bNor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

28 Come to ^aMe, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take My yoke upon you ^aand learn from Me, for I am gentle and ^blowly in heart, ^cand you will find rest for your souls.

Even so, Father; for so it seemed good—the emphatic and chosen term for expressing any object of divine complacency; whether Christ Himself (see on Matthew 3:17), or God's gracious eternal arrangements (see on Philippians 2:13).

in thy sight—This is just a sublime echo of the foregoing words; as if Jesus, when He uttered them, had paused to reflect on it, and as if the glory of it—not so much in the light of its own reasonableness as of God's absolute will that so it should be—had filled His soul.
