17 ‘We played the flute for you⁺, and you⁺ did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you⁺ did not mourn.

18 For John (YHWH is gracious) came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!

19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look (Behold) at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! But wisdom is vindicated (rendered innocent) by her actions.

20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles {dynameis} had been performed, because they did not repent.

21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida (fishing house)! For if the miracles {dynameis} that were performed in you⁺ had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22 But I tell you⁺, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you⁺.

23 And you, Capernaum (village of comfort), will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles {dynameis} that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

24 But I tell you⁺ that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.

25 At that time Jesus (YHWH saves) declared, “I praise You, Father {Pater}, Lord {Kyrie} of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed (uncovered) them to little children.

26 Yes, Father {Patēr}, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father {Patēr}, and no one knows the Father {Patera} except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you⁺ rest.

29 Take My yoke upon you⁺ and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you⁺ will find rest for your⁺ souls.

30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
