Matthew 11:20–30

Woe on Unrepentant Towns

11:21–23pp—Lk 10:13–15

²⁰Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. ²¹“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!^g For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,^h they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.^{i 22}But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.^{j 23}And you, Capernaum,^k will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.^el For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. ²⁴But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”^m

The Father Revealed in the Son

11:25–27pp—Lk 10:21,22

²⁵At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father,ⁿ Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.^{o 26}Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

²⁷“All things have been committed to me^p by my Father.^q No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.^r

²⁸“Come to me,^s all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.^{t 29}Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,^u for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.^{v 30}For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”^w
