For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago (C)in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say to you, (D)it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, (E)who[a] are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say to you (F)that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”
