25 (A)At that time Jesus answered and said, I give thee thanks, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise, and men of understanding, and hast [a]opened them unto babes.

26 It is [b]so, O Father, because thy [c]good pleasure was such.

27 (B)[d]All things are given unto me of my Father: and (C)no man knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither knoweth any man the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that are weary and laden, and I will ease you.

29 Take my yoke on you, and learn of me that I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find (D)rest unto your souls.

30 (E)For my yoke is [e]easy, and my burden light.
