23, 24. Thou Capernaum where I have dwelt, hast by my presence, preaching and works been honoured with the heavenly gifts; but for impenitence shalt be destroyed: If Sodom had seen and heard what thou hast, their repentance would have prevented their destruction. But their doom at the day of Judgment shall be more tolerable than thine.

25. At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes. 26. Even so Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
25, 26. Then Jesus said to God his Father, I thank thee, O Father, who being Lord of Heaven and Earth, hast the absolute right to dispose of all, that thou hast chosen the despised unlearned sort of men to make known effectually the Gospel of Salvation to, rather than the men of reputation for learning and wisdom in the world, and hast left proud self-conceited men in their ignorance, whilst thou hast taught the humble and meek. This pleaseth me, as being the choice and good pleasure of thy wisdom.
