Matthew 1128

Matthew 11:28 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, in which Jesus Christ invites those who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. The verse reads: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." This invitation is part of a larger discourse by Jesus, often referred to as the "Messianic Invitation," where He presents Himself as the source of spiritual rest and relief from the burdens of life. The Greek text of this verse is "Δεῦτε πρὸς ἐμὲ πάντες οἱ κοπιῶντες καὶ πεφορτισμένοι, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναπαύσω ὑμᾶς." In Hebrew, it can be translated as "בואו אלי כל העייפים והנשאים, ואני אנתכם מנוחה." The verse is often interpreted as an open invitation to all who seek spiritual solace and is a central theme in Christian teachings on finding peace through faith in Jesus. The context of this verse is within the broader message of Jesus' ministry, emphasizing His role as a compassionate savior who offers comfort and relief to those in need.
