Matthew 11:20–30

²⁰Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform. ²¹‘Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed; ²²but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than for you.

²³‘And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day; ²⁴but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.’

²⁵At that time Jesus answering said, ‘I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes. ²⁶Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee.

²⁷‘All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.

²⁸‘Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest, ²⁹take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls, ³⁰for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’
