Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Son Gives Knowledge and Rest
25 At that time Jesus said,(A) “I praise[a] You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to infants.(B) 26 Yes, Father, because this was Your good pleasure.[b] 27 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows[c] the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son desires[d] to reveal Him.(C)
28 “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.(D) 29 All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me,(E) because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves.(F) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

A Yoke That Is Easy
25 At that time Jesus answered and[a] said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to young children.[b] 26 Yes, Father, for to do so was your gracious will.[c] 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom[d] the Son wants to reveal him.[e] 28 Come to me, all of you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to carry and my burden is light.”
