Matthew 11:23-30

23 "And you, ¹Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will ²descend to ³Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in ⁴Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day.

24 "Nevertheless I say to you that ⁵it will be more tolerable for the land of ⁶Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you."

Come to Me

25 ⁷At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, ⁸Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that ⁹You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

26 "Yes, ¹⁰Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27 "¹¹All 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 ¹²except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

28 "¹³Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.

29 "Take My yoke upon you and ¹⁴learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and ¹⁵YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.

30 "For ¹⁶My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
