Matthew 11:12

Context
11:12 From 1  the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and forceful people lay hold of it. 2 

Matthew 11:29

Context
11:29 Take my yoke 3  on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

2 tn Or “the kingdom of heaven is forcibly entered and violent people take hold of it.” For a somewhat different interpretation of this passage, see the note on the phrase “urged to enter in” in Luke 16:16.

3 sn A yoke is a wooden bar or frame that joins two animals like oxen or horses so that they can pull a wagon, plow, etc. together. Here it is used figuratively of the restrictions that a teacher or rabbi would place on his followers.
