20. Then Jesus criticized the cities where he did most of his miracles, because the people did not change their lives and stop sinning.
21. He said, “How terrible for you, Korazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! If the same miracles I did in you had happened in Tyre and Sidon, those people would have changed their lives a long time ago. They would have worn rough cloth and put ashes on themselves to show they had changed.
22. But I tell you, on the Judgment Day it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
23. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be thrown down to the depths. If the miracles I did in you had happened in Sodom, its people would have stopped sinning, and it would still be a city today.
24. But I tell you, on the Judgment Day it will be better for Sodom than for you.”
25. At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the people who are wise and smart. But you have shown them to those who are like little children.
26. Yes, Father, this is what you really wanted.
