Exegesis
The object of this knowing is ta mysteria {τὰ μυστήρια | tà mystḗria}, further defined by the genitive phrase tēs basileias tōn ouranōn {τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν | tês basileías tôn ouranôn}, the distinctive Matthean expression “of the kingdom of the heavens.”
In context — Matthew 13:11
But He answered and said to them, “Because to you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those it has not been given.”
