Matthew 11:20-30, GNB
[20]The people in the towns where Jesus had performed most of his miracles did not turn from their sins, so he reproached those towns.
[21]“How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible for you too, Bethsaida! If the miracles which were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, the people there would long ago have put on sackcloth and sprinkled ashes on themselves, to show that they had turned from their sins!
[22]I assure you that on the Judgement Day God will show more mercy to the people of Tyre and Sidon than to you!
[23]And as for you, Capernaum! Did you want to lift yourself up to heaven? You will be thrown down to hell! If the miracles which were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would still be in existence today!
[24]You can be sure that on the Judgement Day God will show more mercy to Sodom than to you!”
[25]At that time Jesus said, “Father, Lord of heaven and earth! I thank you because you have shown to the unlearned what you have hidden from the wise and learned.
[26]Yes, Father, this was how you wanted it to happen.
[27]“My Father has given me all things. 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 of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.
[29]Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest.
[30]For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light.”
