Luke 10:22

καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς εἶπεν. אBDL, Vulg[219] &c. They were perhaps omitted in some MSS. because of Luke 5:23.

[219] Vulg. Vulgate.

22. πάντα μοι … παρεδόθη ὑπό. ‘Were delivered to me by,’ cf. Luke 20:14. This entire verse is one of those in which the teaching of the Synoptists (Matthew 28:18) comes into nearest resemblance to that of St John, which abounds in such passages (John 1:18; John 3:35; John 5:26-27; John 6:44; John 6:46; John 14:6-9; John 17:1-2; 1 John 5:20). In the same way we find this view assumed in St Paul’s earlier Epistles (e.g. 1 Corinthians 15:24; 1 Corinthians 15:27), and magnificently developed in the Epistles of the Captivity (Philippians 2:9; Ephesians 1:21-22).

γινώσκει. Lit. ‘recogniseth.’ The various reading adopted by Marcion—ἔγνω—is as ancient as Justin Martyr, the Clementines, &c.

τίς ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς … τίς ἐστιν ὁ πατὴρ. The periphrasis seems to express the same as the ἐπιγινώσκει, ‘fully knows,’ of St Matt., and both may be (as Godet suggests) modes of representing the Aramaic idiom ידע על.
