20. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not. 21. Woe to thee Chorazin, Woe to thee Bethsaida: for if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22. But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment than for you.

Wo to thee Chorazin, Wo to thee Bethsaida: for if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sydon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22.

20, 21, 22. Note, 1. Christs own Preaching and Miracles had so little success, as that he is put to upbraid the places where he had wrought them for their impenitence: Therefore the best Preachers may be put to the like. 2. The punishment of such as are unconverted under the most convincing Preaching, will be most intolerable. 3. Tho it be Gods grace which converteth Souls, yet he usually so proportioneth it to the means he useth, that the same means ordinarily would convert some, which converts not others.
