Luke 10:10-16

10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say,
11 1'Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that 2the kingdom of God has come near.'
12 I tell you, 3it will be more bearable on 4that day for Sodom than for that town.

Woe to Unrepentant Cities

13 5"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in 6Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 7But it will be more bearable in the judgment for 8Tyre and Sidon than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum, 9will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to 10Hades.
16 11"The one who hears you hears me, and 12the one who rejects you rejects me, and 13the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
