25  At  that  season  Jesus  answered  and  said,  I  ^ thank  thee,
O  Father,  Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  that  thou  didst  hide
these  things  from  the  wise  and  understanding,  and  didst

26  reveal   them  unto   babes :    "yea,    Father,   ®for  so  it  was
(27  well-pleasing  in  thy  sight.      "All  things  have  been  deliv-
ered unto   me  of  my  Father :  and  no  one  knoweth  the
Son,  save  the  Father  ;  neither  doth  any  know  the  Father,
save  the  Son,  and  he  to  whomsoever  the  Son  willeth  to

28  reveal  him.      "Come  unto  me,  all  ye  that  labour  and  are

29  heavy  laden,  and  I  will  give  you  rest.  "Take  my  yoke
upon  you,  and  learn  of  me  ;  for  I  am  meek  and  lowly  in

30  heart :  and  ye  shall  find  rest  unto  your  souls.  "For  my
yoke  is  easy,  and  my  burden  is  light.
