25At that time
Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you
have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little
children. 26Yes, Father, for this was your
good pleasure.
27"All things have been
committed to me by my Father. 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.
28"Come to me, all you who
are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and
humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
