Matthew 11:16–30

^16oBut whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their ^oofellows, ¹⁷And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have ^pmourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. ¹⁸For John came neither ^qeating nor ^rdrinking, and they say, He hath a devil. ¹⁹The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, ^sa friend of ^sspublicans and sinners. But wisdom ^tis justified ^uof ^vher children.

^20wThen began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: ²¹Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, ^xBethsaida! ^yfor if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in ^zTyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in ^asackcloth and ^bashes. ^22cBut I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for ^zTyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. ²³And thou, Capernaum, ^dwhich art exalted unto heaven, ^eshalt be brought down to hell: ^yfor if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. ^24cBut I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

^25fAt that time Jesus ^ganswered and said, I thank thee, ^hO Father, Lord of heaven and earth, ⁱbecause thou hast hid these things ^kfrom the wise and prudent, and hast ^mrevealed them unto babes. ²⁶Even so, ^hFather: for so it seemed good in thy sight. ²⁷ⁿAll things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, ^osave the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

²⁸Come unto ^pme, all ye that labour and are ^qheavy laden, and I will give you rest. ^29rTake my yoke upon you, and ^slearn of me; for I am ^tmeek and lowly in heart: and ^uye shall find rest unto your souls. ³⁰For ^xmy yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
