Matthew 11:17-30 ▼

17 and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we lamented to you, and you did not strike the breast.

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon;

19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners; and wisdom was justified of her children.”

20 Then He began to reproach the cities in which were done most of His mighty works, because they did not convert.

21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, 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 converted;

22 but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than for you.

23 And you, Capernaum, which were exalted to Heaven, will be brought down to Hades, because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it had remained to this day;

24 but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than to you.”

25 At that time Jesus answering said, “I confess to You, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that You hid these things from wise and understanding ones, and revealed them to babies.

26 Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before You.

27 All things were delivered to Me by My Father, and none know the Son, except the Father, nor does any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may resolve to reveal [Him].

28 Come to Me, all you laboring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest;

29 take up My yoke on you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you will find rest to your souls,

30 for My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.”
