Matthew 11:20–30

Jesus Warns Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum

²⁰Then Jesus denounced the cities where he had worked most of his miracles because they had not changed the way they thought and acted. ²¹“How horrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How horrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! If the miracles worked in you had been worked in Tyre and Sidon, they would have changed the way they thought and acted long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ²²I can guarantee that judgment day will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you. ²³And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to heaven? No, you will go down to hell! If the miracles that had been worked in you had been worked in Sodom, it would still be there today. ²⁴I can guarantee that judgment day will be better for Sodom than for you.” 

Jesus Praises the Father and Invites Disciples to Come to Him

²⁵At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from wise and intelligent people and revealing them to little children. ²⁶Yes, Father, this is what pleased you. 

²⁷“My Father has turned everything over to me. Only the Father knows the Son. And no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him. 

²⁸“Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Place my yoke^aover your shoulders, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for yourselves ³⁰because my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
