In the Gospel according to Saint Matthew the upbraidings it

will be observed follow almost immediately after the account of the first-mentioned

mission viz. that of the Apostles, and neither in Saint Matthew, Saint Mark or Saint

John is any mention to be found of the mission of the seventy. By /Out of/ this

discrepancy arises some perplexity, but any such attempt /undertaking/ /enterprize/

as that of an attempt to clear it up would occupy too much space, and lead us too

wide of the present purpose.

As to Tyre and Sidon in Matthew xv and Mark vii mention is made of the healing of the young woman of

Canaan according to Matthew, a Greek by nation a Syro-phœnecian according to Mark out

of whom a devil or unclean spirit was expelled. The coasts (Matthew) or borders

(Mark) of Tyre and Sidon is the description given of the place. Is it to this that

the mention made of the works done in Tyre and Sidon in Saint Luke bear reference?

Neither in Saint Luke however any more than in Saint John is any mention of this

miracle to be found.

The works here mentioned as being done in the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon are

here mentioned as inferior to those done in the neighbourhood of Bethsaida. Inferior

in respect of notoriety a miracle wrought in a house as according to Mark Mark vii. 24 was this of the dispossession might well be deemed

when compared with a miracle wrought in the presence of 5000 witnesses.

Unhappily in Matthew the up[b]raidings bestowed upon Chorazin and Bethsaida and the

comparison thereupon made between the miracles wrought at Bethsaida /those places/

and those wrought near Tyre and Sidon are placed long before the account given in the

same Gospel of the miracle wrought near Tyre and Sidon: the upbradings being in

Chapter xi and the Tyre and Sidon miracles not till Chapter

xv. At Bethsaid Mark mentions moreover the cure of a

blind man: but it is not till Chapter viii, whereas the

mention made by Mark of the dispossession near Tyre and Sidon is in Chapter vii.

    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.

    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.’
