20Then He proceeded to denounce the towns where most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent: 21“Woe to you, Chorazin! iWoe to you, Bethsaida! jFor if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, kthey would have repented in •sackcloth and ashes long ago! 22But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment lthan for you. 23And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to •Hades. mFor if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until today. 24But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

The Son Gives Knowledge and Rest

25At that time Jesus said, n“I praise oYou, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to infants. p26Yes, Father, because this was Your good pleasure. q27All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows rthe Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son desires sto reveal Him. t

28“Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. u29All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, vbecause I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. w30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
