Matthew 11:21-30

21 1"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in 2Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 3But I tell you, it will be more bearable on 4the day of judgment for 5Tyre and Sidon than for you.
23 And you, 6Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to 7Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 8But I tell you that 9it will be more tolerable on 10the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest

25 11At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, 12Lord of heaven and earth, that 13you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and 14revealed them to little children;
26 yes, Father, for such was your 15gracious will.[a]
27 16All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son 17except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone 18to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 19Come to 20me, all who labor and are 21heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and 22learn from me, for I am 23gentle and lowly in heart, and 24you will find rest for your souls.
30 For 25my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
