Matthew 1130

Matthew 11:30 is a verse from the New Testament of the Bible, part of the Gospel of Matthew. The verse reads: "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." In this passage, Jesus is speaking to his disciples and the crowd, encouraging them to come to him for rest and relief from the burdens of life. The phrase "my yoke is easy" refers to the idea of submission to Jesus' teachings and guidance, which is portrayed as a light and manageable burden compared to the heavy demands of the law as interpreted by the Pharisees. The Hebrew translation of this verse is "כִּי עוֹלִי קַל, וְחֹבִי קַל" (Ki oli kal, ve-chovi kal). In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, it is "ὅτι πρᾷός ἐστιν ὁ ζυγός μου καὶ ἡ φορτὶς μου ἐλαφρά" (Hoti praios estin ho zygos mou kai he phortis mou elaphra). The context of this verse is Jesus' invitation to find rest in him, emphasizing his compassion and the ease of following his teachings compared to the rigid interpretations of the religious leaders of the time.
