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.”
