I will give you rest

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. — Matthew xi. 28. NAB

This is a newer stone, if it were older the Douai translation might have been used: Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you. The next two verses are: Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is sweet and my burden light. Jesus is a comforting master. That variety are not easy to find. Those who labour are often heavily burdened, the burdens are bitter and heavy.

Pilat is the family name, and this is the back of the marker.
