Matthew Chapter 11 Verse 24‹But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.›

‹And if ye will receive› [it], ‹this is Elias, which was for to come.›

‹He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.›

‹But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,›

‹And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.›

‹For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.›

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

‹Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.›

‹But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.›

‹And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.›

But he said unto them, ‹Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;›

‹How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?›
