Matthew 11:20-24

Woe to Unrepentant Cities

20 ¹Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.

21 ²“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in ³Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22 ⁴But I tell you, it will be more bearable on ⁵the day of judgment for ⁶Tyre and Sidon than for you.

23 And you, ⁷Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to ⁸Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

24 ⁹But I tell you that ¹⁰it will be more tolerable on ¹¹the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you. ”
