Expanded Bible

Jesus Warns Unbelievers^(A)

¹³ “·How terrible for [^LWoe to] you, Korazin! ·How terrible for [^LWoe to] you, Bethsaida [^Ctowns in Galilee where Jesus ministered]! If the ·miracles [powerful deeds] ·I did [^Lthat occurred] in you had happened in Tyre and Sidon [^Ccities in Phoenicia notorious for their wickedness], those people would have ·changed their lives [repented] long ago. ·They would have worn rough cloth and put ashes on themselves to show they had changed [^L…sitting in sackcloth/burlap and ashes; ^Csigns of sorrow and deep remorse]. ¹⁴ But ·on the judgment day [^Lat the judgment] it will be ·better [more bearable/tolerable] for Tyre and Sidon than for you. ¹⁵ And you, Capernaum [^Ca town in Galilee where Jesus lived and ministered], will you be ·lifted up to [honored/exalted in] heaven? No! You will be thrown down to ·the depths [the place of the dead; hell; ^LHades; Is. 14:13–15]!

¹⁶ “Whoever listens to you listens to me [Matt. 10:40; John 13:20], and whoever ·refuses to accept [rejects] you ·refuses to accept [rejects] me. And whoever ·refuses to accept [rejects] me ·refuses to accept [rejects] the One who sent me.”
