In the Old Testament, "know" means more than knowledge. It implies an intimate relationship. The communion between God the Father and God the Son is the core of their relationship. For anyone else to know God, God must reveal himself to that person, by the Son's choice. How fortunate we are that Jesus has clearly revealed to us God, h is truth, and how we can know Him.
Verse 28 I used to have a hard time understanding- Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. A yoke is a heavy wooden harness that fits over the shoulders of an ox or oxen. It is attached to a piece of equipment the oxen are to pull. A person may be carrying heavy burdens of (1) sin, (2) excessive demand of religious leaders (3) oppression and persecution or (4) weariness in the search for God.. Jesus frees people from all these burdens. The rest Jesus promises is love, healing, and peace with God, not the end of all labor. A relationship with God changes meaningless, wearisome toil into spiritual productivity and purpose. Acts 15:10,11 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? vs11 No! We believe it is through grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."

The 4 accounts of the Gospel give us a record of several things that were done by the soldiers to Jesus before He died. Jesus was whipped (Matthew 27:26), stripped of his clothes (Matthew 27:27) and dressed in a scarlet cloak (Matthew 27:28). Thorns were twisted into a crown and placed on his head and a reed in his hand (Matthew 27:29). After this was done, the soldiers spat on Jesus, hit Him on the head and laughed at Him (Matthew 27:30). Jesus was then made to carry the cross (Luke 23:26) to Golgotha. Upon arrival the soldiers offered Jesus wine mixed with a drug (Matthew 27:34) and crucified Him (Matthew 27:35) before gambling to see who would get the clothes (Matthew 27:35); they laughed at Him hanging on the cross and offered vinegar to Jesus (Luke 23:35,36).
