Matthew 11:22-30

22 ¹But I tell you, it will be more bearable on ²the day of judgment for ³Tyre and Sidon than for you.

23 And you, ⁴Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to ⁵Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

24 ⁶But I tell you that ⁷it will be more tolerable on ⁸the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest

25 ⁹At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, ¹⁰Lord of heaven and earth, that ¹¹you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and ¹²revealed them to little children;

26 yes, Father, for such was your ¹³gracious will.^[a]

27 ¹⁴All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son ¹⁵except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone ¹⁶to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

28 ¹⁷Come to ¹⁸me, all who labor and are ¹⁹heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and ²⁰learn from me, for I am ²¹gentle and lowly in heart, and ²²you will find rest for your souls.

30 For ²³my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
