Matthew 11:16-24 - An Unresponsive Generation

17 "if we play a merry tune, you are not for dancing; if we act a mournful part, you are not in the humour."
18 so John came with fasting and abstinence, and they say, he is mad. 19 the son of man does not abstain from eating and drinking, and they cry there's a glutton, and a sot, a friend of publicans and sinners: "but wisdom is justified by her children."
20 Then he began to upbraid the towns where most of his miracles were wrought, for their not being converts. 21 wo unto thee, Chorazin, wo unto thee, Bethsaida: for if the miracles which were done among you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 I declare unto you, Tyre and Sidon shall be treated with less severity at the day of judgment than you. 23 and thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be brought to destruction: for if the miracles which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have subsisted even to this day. 24 I tell you likewise, that in the day of judgment, Sodom shall be treated with less severity than you.
