Jesus began to speak against the towns where he had done most of his miracles. The people there had not turned away from their sins. So he said,“ How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! Suppose the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon. They would have turned away from their sins long ago. They would have put on clothes for mourning. They would have sat down in ashes.But I tell you this. On judgment day it will be easier for Tyre and Sidon than for you.And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be lifted to the heavens? No! You will go down to the place of the dead. Suppose the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom. It would still be here today.But I tell you this. On judgment day it will be easier for Sodom than for you.”
