Matthew 11:19-29

19 The Son of Man came ¹eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, ²a friend of ³tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds."^[a]

Woe to Unrepentant Cities

20 ⁴Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.

21 ⁵"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in ⁶Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22 ⁷But I tell you, it will be more bearable on ⁸the day of judgment for ⁹Tyre and Sidon than for you.

23 And you, ¹⁰Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to ¹¹Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

24 ¹²But I tell you that ¹³it will be more tolerable on ¹⁴the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest

25 ¹⁵At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, ¹⁶Lord of heaven and earth, that ¹⁷you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and ¹⁸revealed them to little children;

26 yes, Father, for such was your ¹⁹gracious will.^[b]

27 ²⁰All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son ²¹except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone ²²to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

28 ²³Come to ²⁴me, all who labor and are ²⁵heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and ²⁶learn from me, for I am ²⁷gentle and lowly in heart, and ²⁸you will find rest for your souls.
