Matthew 11:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ The Son of Man came, eating and drinking wine, and people say, ‘Look at him! He eats too much and drinks too much. He is a friend of tax collectors and “sinners.”’ But wisdom is proved to be right by the things it does.”

Jesus Warns Unbelievers

²⁰ Then Jesus criticized the cities where he did most of his miracles. He criticized them because the people there did not change their lives and stop sinning. ²¹ Jesus said, “How terrible for you, Korazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! I did many miracles in you. If those same miracles had happened in Tyre and Sidon,^[a] then the people there would have changed their lives a long time ago. They would have worn rough cloth and put ashes on themselves to show that they had changed.
