Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Study Note
Jesus's invitation 'come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' is addressed in a context where scribal Torah interpretation had made covenant obedience an unbearable burden. The 'yoke' metaphor (verse 29) was a common Jewish image for Torah obligation; Jesus proposes his own yoke as 'easy' and 'light,' not abolishing Torah but reinterpreting it through himself. 'Rest' (anapausis) in the Septuagint is associated with the sabbath and the Promised Land — rest as a divine gift at journey's end, not merely relaxation. The personal, direct invitation — not a doctrinal statement but an address to the exhausted — has made this verse a touchstone of Christian pastoral care.
