9 and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, '2The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
10 "But whatever * city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 '3Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that 4the kingdom of God has come near.'
12 "I say to you, 5it will be more tolerable in that day for 6Sodom than for that city.
13 "7Woe to you, 8Chorazin! Woe to you, 9Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in 10Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in 11sackcloth and ashes.
14 "But it will be more tolerable for 12Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
15 "And you, 13Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!
