In another point of view, the word indicates also the Gospel’s being contrary to all expectation. By no other name is Scripture wont to call what happens beyond all hope and above all thought of men. Wherefore also in another place, “My mystery is for Me[Isaiah 24:16],” and for Mine. And Paul again, (1 Cor. xv. 51.) “Behold, I shew you a mystery: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.”

The Lord puts questions to the Pharisees, but does not elucidate them. To teach a disciple is one thing; to vanquish an opponent, another. “My mystery is for me,” says the prophet; “my mystery is for me and for them that are mine.”[Isaiah 24:16]
