Matthew 11:20-30

The Unrepenting Cities

20 Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His ¹miracles were done, because they did not repent.

21 "²Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, ³Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in ⁴Tyre and ⁵Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in ⁶sackcloth and ashes.

22 "Nevertheless I say to you, ⁷it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in ⁸the day of judgment than for you.

23 "And you, ⁹Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will ¹⁰descend to ¹¹Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in ¹²Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day.

24 "Nevertheless I say to you that ¹³it will be more tolerable for the land of ¹⁴Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you."

Come to Me

25 ¹⁵At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, ¹⁶Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that ¹⁷You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

26 "Yes, ¹⁸Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27 "¹⁹All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father ²⁰except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

28 "²¹Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.

29 "Take My yoke upon you and ²²learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and ²³YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.

30 "For ²⁴My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
