Jesus’ Prayer of Thanksgiving
25 At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. 26 Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!
27 “My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

25 (B)At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that (C)You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent (D)and have revealed them to babes. 26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 27 (E)All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. (F)Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to (G)Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you (H)and learn from Me, for I am [a]gentle and (I)lowly in heart, (J)and you will find rest for your souls. 30 (K)For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

25 At that time Jesus said,(A) “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants.(B) 26 Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure.[a] 27 All things have been entrusted to me by my Father.

25 And then Jesus began to pray:
Jesus: I praise You, Father—Lord of heaven and earth. You have revealed Your truths to the lowly and the ignorant, the children and the crippled, the lame and the mute. You have hidden wisdom from those who pride themselves on being so wise and learned. 26 You did this, simply, because it pleased You. 27 The Father has handed over everything to My care. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son—and those to whom the Son wishes to reveal the Father. 28 Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Put My yoke upon your shoulders—it might appear heavy at first, but it is perfectly fitted to your curves. Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. When you are yoked to Me, your weary souls will find rest. 30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
