General Information:
Here, Jesus speaks to the people again.
All things have been entrusted to me from my Father
"My Father has entrusted all things to me" or "My Father has given everything over to me." This could mean that 1) God the Father has revealed everything about himself and his kingdom to Jesus or 2) God has given all authority to Jesus.
my Father
This is an important title for God that describes the relationship between God and Jesus.
no one knows the Son except the Father
"the only one who knows the Son is the Father." The word "knows" here means more than just being acquainted with someone. It means knowing someone intimately because of having a special relationship with him.
the Son
Jesus was referring to himself. This is an important title for Jesus, the Son of God.
no one knows the Father except the Son and ... him
"only the Son and ... him know the Father"
