WOES UPON THE CITIES OF OPPORTUNITY. THE CLAIMS OF CHRIST AS THE TEACHER ABOUT THE FATHER. Galilee Matt. 11:20-30 20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his [1]mighty 21 works were done, because they repented not. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the [1]mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would 22 have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

Take my yoke[a] upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye 30 shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light [_see Jer.
