22 Ref but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than for you.

23 Ref `And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day;
