Matthew 11:16-24

« Matt 10Matt 11Matt 12 »

16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call out to the other children, 17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not ¹mourn.’ 18 For John came neither ^aeating nor ^bdrinking, and they say, ‘^cHe has a demon!’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a ¹drunkard, ^aa friend of tax collectors and ²sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated ³by her deeds.”

Woe to Unrepentant Cities

20 Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His ¹^amiracles were done, because they did not repent. 21 “^aWoe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, ^bBethsaida! For if the ¹miracles had occurred in ^cTyre and ^cSidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in ²^dsackcloth and ashes. 22 Nevertheless I say to you, ^ait will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in ^bthe day of judgment than for you. 23 And ^aCapernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will ^bdescend to ^cHades; for if the ¹miracles had occurred in ^dSodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. 24 Nevertheless I say to you that ^ait will be more tolerable for the land of ^bSodom in the day of judgment, than for you.”
