Matthew 11:23-30

23 And you, 1Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to 2Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 3But I tell you that 4it will be more tolerable on 5the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest

25 6At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, 7Lord of heaven and earth, that 8you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and 9revealed them to little children;
26 yes, Father, for such was your 10gracious will.[a]
27 11All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son 12except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone 13to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 14Come to 15me, all who labor and are 16heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and 17learn from me, for I am 18gentle and lowly in heart, and 19you will find rest for your souls.
30 For 20my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
