20 Then He began to reproach the cities in which were done most of His mighty works, because they did not convert.

But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.
23 And you, Capernaum, which were exalted to Heaven, will be brought down to Hades, because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it had remained to this day; (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than to you.”
But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.
