Matthew 11:24-30

24 1But I tell you that 2it will be more tolerable on 3the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest

25 4At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, 5Lord of heaven and earth, that 6you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and 7revealed them to little children;
26 yes, Father, for such was your 8gracious will.[a]
27 9All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son 10except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone 11to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 12Come to 13me, all who labor and are 14heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and 15learn from me, for I am 16gentle and lowly in heart, and 17you will find rest for your souls.
30 For 18my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
