Context of Luke 10:12

10But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of the same, and say, 11Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: however be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come near to you. But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 13Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
