Matthew Chapter 11 Verse 27‹All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and› [he] ‹to whomsoever the Son will reveal› [him].

‹And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.›

‹For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.›

‹The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.›

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

‹Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.›

‹But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.›

‹And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.›

‹But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.›

At that time Jesus answered and said, ‹I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.›

‹Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.›

‹Come unto me, all› [ye] ‹that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.›

‹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.›

‹For my yoke› [is] ‹easy, and my burden is light.›

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

But he said unto them, ‹Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;›

‹How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?›

‹Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?›

‹But I say unto you, That in this place is› [one] ‹greater than the temple.›

‹But if ye had known what› [this] ‹meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.›
