Matthew 11:16-24 - An Unresponsive Generation
16 But, unto what, shall I liken this generation? It is, like, unto children, sitting the market-places, who, calling unto the others,
17 say, We played the flute to you, and ye danced not, - we sang a lament, and ye beat not the breast.
18 For, John, came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say - A demon, he hath! 19 The Son of Man, came, eating and drinking, and they say, Lo! a gluttonous man and a wine-drinker! a friend of, tax-collectors, and sinners! And yet wisdom hath been justified by her works.
20 Then, began he to upbraid the cities, in which had been done his noblest mighty works; because they repented not: - 21 Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power, which were done in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes, had they repented. 22 Moreover, I say unto you, For Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And, thou, Capernaum! Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? Unto hades, thou shall be brought down; because, if, in Sodom, had been done the works of power, which were done in thee, it would, in that case, have remained until this day. 24 Moreover, I say unto you - For the land of Sodom, more tolerable, will it be in a day of judgment, than, for thee.
