Matthew 11:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. 23 [a]And as for you, Capernaum:
‘Will you be exalted to heaven?(A)
You will go down to the netherworld.’
For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”(B)
