Matthew 11:20-24

International Standard Version

Jesus Denounces Unrepentant Cities^(A)

²⁰ Then Jesus^[a] began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had taken place, because they didn’t repent. ²¹ “How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! Because if the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ²² Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on Judgment Day than for you!

²³ “And you, Capernaum! You won’t be lifted up to heaven, will you? You’ll go down to Hell!^[b] Because if the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. ²⁴ Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom on Judgment Day than for you!”
