Matthew 11:20
Compare all
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a1 winebibber, aa friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ bBut wisdom is justified by her2 children.”  

Woe to the Impenitent Cities

20 aThen He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent:  
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago ain sackcloth and ashes.  
22 But I say to you, ait will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.  
23 And you, Capernaum, awho 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 athat it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”  

Jesus Gives True Rest

25 aAt that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that bYou have hidden these things from the wise and prudent cand have revealed them to babes.  
26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

Matthew 11:20

Matthew 11:20 Then he began to upbraid the cities, etc. Compare Luke 10:12-15. The cities in the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee had, thus far, heard and seen the most of the Lord and had the least excuse for rejecting him. In all the reproofs of Jesus there is sadness in the severity. The very denunciations seem to mourn. In which most of his mighty works were done. We know of a number of miracles which had been wrought in these cities, the healing of the centurion's servant, of the son of nobleman, of the diseased woman, of two blind men, and the raising of the daughter of Jairus. The Scriptures assure us that these were only a very small part of the mighty works he did. See Matthew 9:35. Because they repented not. The great end proposed by the gospel is repentance and a new life.
