Matthew 11:16-24

16But to whom shall I liken this generationG1074? It isG1510 like childrenG3813 sittingG2521 in the markets, which, calling to their companions,

17sayG3004, We have piped to you, and ye have not dancedG3738: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.

18For JohnG2491 has comeG2064 neither eatingG2068 nor drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, He has a demonG1140.

19The SonG5207 of manG444 has comeG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, BeholdG2400, a manG444 [that is] eatingG2068 and wine-drinking, a friendG5384 of tax-gatherers, and of sinnersG268: — and wisdomG4678 has been justifiedG1344 by her children.

20ThenG5119 beganG757 he to reproach the citiesG4172 in which most of his works of powerG1411 had taken placeG1096, because they had not repentedG3340.

21WoeG3759 to thee, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 to thee BethsaidaG966! for if the works of powerG1411 which have taken placeG1096 in you, had taken placeG1096 in TyreG5184 and SidonG4605, they had longG3819 agoG3819 repentedG3340 in sackclothG4526 and ashesG4700.

22But I sayG3004 to you, that it shall beG1510 moreG414 tolerableG414 for TyreG5184 and SidonG4605 in judgment-day than for you.

23And thou, CapernaumG2584, who hast been raised up to heavenG3772, shalt be brought downG2597 evenG2532 to hadesG86. For if the works of powerG1411 which have taken placeG1096 in thee, had taken placeG1096 in SodomG4670, it had remainedG3306 until this dayG4594.

24But I sayG3004 to you, that it shall beG1510 moreG414 tolerableG414 for [the] landG1093 of SodomG4670 in judgment-day than for thee.
