Berean Standard Bible

“But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.”

Matthew 11:22

Save as image

Study note

Jesus is rebuking the Galilean towns of Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum, where he did most of his miracles yet people did not repent. He compares them with the pagan cities of Tyre and Sidon, long known in Israel's Scriptures for pride and idolatry.
