Matthew 11:25-30
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
It Pleases God To Hide The Kingdom From The Wise And Reveal It To The Childlike
25 At that time, having responded, Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that[a] You hid these things from wise ones and intelligent ones, and You revealed them to children[b]. 26 Yes, Father, because[c] in-this-manner it became well-pleasing in Your sight. 27 All things were handed-over to Me by My Father. And no one knows[d] the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom[e] the Son wills[f] to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all the ones being weary and having been burdened[g], and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy[h], and My burden[i] is light”.
