Matthew 11:27-29
Contemporary English Version
27 (A) My Father has given me everything, and he is the only one who knows the Son. The only one who truly knows the Father is the Son. But the Son wants to tell others about the Father, so they can know him too.
28 (B) If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest. 29 (C) Take the yoke[a] I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from me. I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest.
