Matthew 11:20-24

New Century Version

Jesus Warns Unbelievers

²⁰ Then Jesus criticized the cities where he did most of his miracles, because the people did not change their lives and stop sinning. ²¹ He said, “How terrible for you, Korazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! If the same miracles I did in you had happened in Tyre and Sidon,^[a] those people would have changed their lives a long time ago. They would have worn rough cloth and put ashes on themselves to show they had changed. ²² But I tell you, on the Judgment Day it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you. ²³ And you, Capernaum,^[b] will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be thrown down to the depths. If the miracles I did in you had happened in Sodom,^[c] its people would have stopped sinning, and it would still be a city today. ²⁴ But I tell you, on the Judgment Day it will be better for Sodom than for you.”
