Matthew 11:25-30

New International Version

The Father Revealed in the Son^(A)

²⁵At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father,^(B) Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.^(C) ²⁶Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

²⁷“All things have been committed to me^(D) by my Father.^(E) 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.^(F)

²⁸“Come to me,^(G) all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.^(H) ²⁹Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,^(I) for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.^(J) ³⁰For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”^(K)

Prayer^(A)

⁵“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing^(B) in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. ⁶But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father,^(C) who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ⁷And when you pray, do not keep on babbling^(D) like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.^(E) ⁸Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need^(F) before you ask him.

⁹“This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father^(G) in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰your kingdom^(H) come,
your will be done,^(I)
    on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹Give us today our daily bread.^(J)
¹²And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.^(K)
¹³And lead us not into temptation,^[a]^(L)
    but deliver us from the evil one.^[b]’^(M)

¹⁴For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.^(N) ¹⁵But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.^(O)
