# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Jesus finishes speaking to the crowd.
|
|
|
|
# For my yoke is easy and my burden is light
|
|
|
|
Both of these phrases mean the same thing. Jesus is emphasizing that it is easier to obey him than it is the Jewish law. Alternate translation: "For what I place on you, you will be able to carry because it is light" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])

|
|
# my burden is light
|
|
|
|
The word "light" here is the opposite of heavy, not the opposite of dark.
