The title echoes Matthew 11 :28-30: "Come to me all you who labour and are overburdened.. . ." and the general orientation of the book, which attempts to read Matthew through the lens of Hosea 6:6: "What I [God) want is mercy not sacrifice." which Matthew quotes twice (9:13: 12:7). In contrast to the 'burden-imposing" interpretation of the Torah by the scribes and Pharisees (23:3), Matthew presents Jesus as interpreting the Torah in a way that is 'burden-lifting" and gives primacy to the "weightier matters of the Torah: justice, mercy, and peace" (23:23).
