[Jesus spoke to
the crowd saying:] 16 “To what will I compare this
generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and
calling to one another,
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and
you did not dance;
we wailed, and you did not
mourn.’
18 “For John came neither eating nor
drinking, and they say, ‘He has a
demon’; 19 the Son of Man came eating and
drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend
of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her
deeds.”
25 At that time
Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the
wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to
infants; 26 yes, Father,
for such was your gracious will. 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 the Son chooses
to reveal him.
28 “Come to me, all you who are
weary and
are carrying heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke
upon 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, and my
burden is light.”
