Woe to Unrepentant Cities

Matthew 11

20 z Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. 21 a "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in b Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 c But I tell you, it will be more bearable on d the day of judgment for b Tyre and Sidon than for you. 23 And you, e Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to f Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 c But I tell you that g it will be more tolerable on d the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."
