16“But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,17 “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18For John came aneither eating bnor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19The Son of Man came ceating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, da friend of etax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.” ▼

Woe to Unrepentant Cities
20 gThen he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. 21 h“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in iTyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 jBut I tell you, it will be more bearable on kthe day of judgment for lTyre and Sidon than for you. 23And you, mCapernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to nHades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 oBut I tell you that pit will be more tolerable on qthe day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.”
