J.B. Phillips New Testament
Jesus denounces apathy—and thanks God that simple men understand his message
20 Then Jesus began reproaching the towns where most of his miracles had taken place because their hearts were unchanged.
21-22 “Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For if Tyre and Sidon had seen the demonstrations of God’s power which you have seen they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Yet I tell you this, that it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
