²⁵^fAt 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. ²⁹^rTake 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.

At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
