Matthew 11:25-27

Hid these things; not led them to perceive and embrace them, because there were the wisest and best reasons why he should not.

Wise and prudent; in their own estimation, and so proud that they would not ask of God that wisdom which is from above.

Babes; those who feel their dependence on God, and seek his aid. For all his dealings, however mysterious to men, God has the wisest and best of reasons. Those who love him will believe this, and rejoice in the conviction that he doeth all things well. It seemed good; because it was good, right, and best.
