The Father and the Son
11 25On that occasion Jesus said:
—Father, Lord of heaven and earth, I praise you, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to simple people. 26Yes, Father, this is what pleased you.
27—Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28—Come to me, all you who work hard and who carry heavy burdens and I will refresh you. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble of heart; and you will find rest. 30For my yoke is good and my burden is light.

12 15As Jesus was aware of the plot, he went away from that place. Many people followed him and he cured all who were sick. 16Then he gave them strict orders not to make him known. 17In this way Isaiah’s prophecy was fulfilled:
18Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, and with whom I am pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him and he will announce my judgment to the nations.
19He will not argue or shout, nor will his voice be heard in the streets. 20The bruised reed he will not crush, nor snuff out the smoldering wick. He will persist until justice is made victorious.
