2. Next comes another passage in Saint Matthew (Mat. xi.

20 to 24.

Certain /Three/ cities Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum are mentioned on this

occasion v. 20. ‘Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works

were done, because they repented not.’

Speaking thereupon of Capernaum v. 23. And then Capernaum (he is represented as

saying) ‘then Capernaum which are exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell:

for, of the mighty works which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it

would have remained unto this day.

24. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in

the day of judgment than for thee.

    Mark VI. 6. continued

    Immediately before the mention thus made of Sodom on the occasion of the

    insensibility and non-repentance of Capernaum, comes a similar mention of Tyre and

    Sidon, on the occasion of the non-repentance of Chorazin and Bethsaida.

    21. ‘Wo unto thee Chorazin, wo unto 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 unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of

    judgment, than for you.’

    1. Matt. x. 14. And whosoever shall not receive you (viz.

    the twelve Apostles sent out to preach to the Jews alone /only/ x. 5. 6.) nor hear any words, when you depart out of that town, or city,

    shake off the dust of your feet. 15. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more

    tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha, in the day of judgment, than for that

    city.

    2. Matt. xi. 23. 24. And thou Capernaum, which art exalted

    unto heaven, shalt be brouhgt down to hell: for of the mighty works which have been

    say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of

    judgment, than for thee.

    3. Mark vi. 11. And whosoever shall not receive you (viz.

    the twelve Apostles sent out two and two to preach (no [...?] as to the persons to be

    preached to) vi. 7. 8. 9. 10.) nor hear you, when he depart

    thence, shake off the dust under your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I

    say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of

    judgment than for that city.

    4. Luke x. 12. But I say unto you (viz. the ‘ other seventy’ sent two and two before his face into every city

    Now then in Luke comes the matter of the /the interposed/ upbraidings.

    13. ‘Wo unto the Chorazin, wo unto thee Bethsaida: for if the mighty works had been

    done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in you, they had a great while ago

    repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.’

    14. ‘But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for

    you.’

    15. And thou Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell.’

    Note (a)

    In Saint Luke (Luke ix. 10 to 17) the upbrading thus

    bestowed upon Chorazin and Bethsaida presents itself at least in so far as concerns

    Bethsaida as having a special reference. For the in the last preceding Chapter Luke

    ix. 10 after mention made (verses 1 and 2) of the

    mission of the twelve apostles as above it is said

    ‘10. And the Apostles whom they were returned, told him all that they had done. And

    he took them’ (it continues) ‘and went aside privately into a desert place, belonging

    to the city called Bethsaida.

    11. And the people when they knew it followed him .... &c. then comes the

    miracle of the 5000 fed with the 5 loaves and the two fishes.

    As to Chorazin being mentioned in the same breath with Bethsaida a natural

    conclusion is that it was in the proximity of Bethsaida, in which case the miracle

    would be matter of as much notoriety in the one place as in the other.
