Matthew 11:19-29

19 "The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, ¹a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."

The Unrepenting Cities

20 Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His ²miracles were done, because they did not repent.

21 "³Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, ⁴Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in ⁵Tyre and ⁶Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in ⁷sackcloth and ashes.

22 "Nevertheless I say to you, ⁸it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in ⁹the day of judgment than for you.

23 "And you, ¹⁰Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will ¹¹descend to ¹²Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in ¹³Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day.

24 "Nevertheless I say to you that ¹⁴it will be more tolerable for the land of ¹⁵Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you."

Come to Me

25 ¹⁶At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, ¹⁷Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that ¹⁸You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

26 "Yes, ¹⁹Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27 "²⁰All 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 ²¹except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

28 "²²Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.

29 "Take My yoke upon you and ²³learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and ²⁴YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.
