21. You people of Chorazin are in for trouble! You people of Bethsaida are in for trouble too! If the miracles that took place in your towns had happened in Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have turned to God long ago. They would have dressed in sackcloth and put ashes on their heads.
22. I tell you that on the day of judgment the people of Tyre and Sidon will get off easier than you will.
23. People of Capernaum, do you think you will be honoured in heaven? You will go down to hell! If the miracles that took place in your town had happened in Sodom, that town would still be standing.
24. So I tell you that on the day of judgment the people of Sodom will get off easier than you.
25. At that moment Jesus said:My Father, Lord of heaven and earth, I am grateful that you hid all this from wise and educated people and showed it to ordinary people.
