Matthew 11:25-30

Listen to Matthew 11:25-30

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest

25 1At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, 2Lord of heaven and earth, that 3you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and 4revealed them to little children;
26 yes, Father, for such was your 5gracious will. [a]
27 6All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son 7except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone 8to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 9Come to 10me, all who labor and are 11heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and 12learn from me, for I am 13gentle and lowly in heart, and 14you will find rest for your souls.
30 For 15my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ”
