King James | Power New Testament | New International Version |
| 28. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. |
28. Come to Me all those who work and are burdened, and I
will give you rest. 29. You must immediately take My yoke
upon you and you must now learn from Me, because I am gentle and
humble in My heart, and you will find rest in your lives: 30. for My yoke
is pleasant and My burden is insignificant.”

Footnotes from the Power New Testament:
(v.28) This rest and the one in verse 29 are temporary rests, just a break from work. See Rest in Glossary.
(v.29) Rabbis say the Lord’s yoke means total spiritual surrender.
See Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:36,37. See Yoke in Glossary.
(v.30) This could be stated “light as a feather” because it is a
weight that is not detectable when you bear it.
