Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Matthew 11
²⁴ I tell you, even Sodom will be better off on judgment day than you.”
²⁵ At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.
²⁶ Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!
²⁷ “My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
²⁸ Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
²⁹ Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
³⁰ For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Matthew 12
¹ At about that time Jesus was walking through some grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, so they began breaking off some heads of grain and eating them.
² But some Pharisees saw them do it and protested, “Look, your disciples are breaking the law by harvesting grain on the Sabbath.”
³ Jesus said to them, “Haven’t you read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
⁴ He went into the house of God, and he and his companions broke the law by eating the sacred loaves of bread that only the priests are allowed to eat.
