Matthew 11:22-30 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

22. But I tell you, on the Judgment Day it will be worse for you than for Tyre and Sidon.

23. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No. You will be thrown down to the depths. I did many miracles in you. If those same miracles had happened in Sodom, its people would have stopped sinning, and it would still be a city today.

24. But I tell you it will be worse for you on the Judgment Day than for Sodom.”

25. Then Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth. I praise you because you have hidden these things from the people who are wise and smart. But you have shown them to those who are like little children.

26. Yes, Father, this is what you really wanted.

27. “My Father has given me all things. No one knows the Son—only the Father knows the Son. And no one knows the Father—only the Son knows the Father. And the only people who will know about the Father are those whom the Son chooses to tell.

28. “Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads. I will give you rest.

29. Accept my work and learn from me. I am gentle and humble in spirit. And you will find rest for your souls.

30. The work that I ask you to accept is easy. The load I give you to carry is not heavy.”
