Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, εἶπεν· ἐξομολογοῦμαί σοι, πάτερ, κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι απέκρυψας ταῦτα ἀπὸ σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν, καὶ ἀπεκάλυψας αὐτὰ νηπίοις.
At that time Jesus answered, he said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to infants.”

Ἐξομολογοῦμαί σοι, Πάτερ Κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς.
A Textual Commentary On Matthew 11:25
(a) Ἐξομολογοῦμαί σοι, πάτερ, κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς. These nine words are the same in both Matthew and Luke. In both Gospels, however, they have come down to us with many variant readings in the MSS of the NT and quotations in ecclesiastical writings. Some of these readings are supported by Marcion and the Diatessaron, which poses the question of the mutual relationship between Marcion’s Gospel and the Diatessaron on the one hand and the MSS of the NT on the other.
