Exegesis
The adversative all' {ἀλλ᾽ | all'} ‘but’ introduces the restrictive relative clause hois dedotai {οἷς δέδοται | hoîs dédotai} ‘to whom it has been given’, where the perfect passive highlights a completed divine bestowal with ongoing results, making receptivity wholly dependent on that prior gift.
In context — Matthew 19:11
But He said to them, “Not everyone can accept this word , but only those to whom it has been given.”
