Matthew 11:20 in Context — Matthew 11

18 Porque vino Juan, que ni comía ni bebía, y dicen: Demonio tiene.

19 Vino el Hijo del hombre, que come y bebe, y dicen: He aquí un hombre comilón, y bebedor de vino, amigo de publicanos y de pecadores. Mas la sabiduría es justificada por sus hijos.

20 Entonces comenzó á reconvenir á las ciudades en las cuales habían sido hechas muy muchas de sus maravillas, porque no se habían arrepentido, [diciendo]:

21 ¡Ay de ti, Corazín! ¡Ay de ti, Bethsaida! porque si en Tiro y en Sidón fueran hechas las maravillas que han sido hechas en vosotras, en otro tiempo se hubieran arrepentido en saco y en ceniza.

22 Por tanto os digo, [que] á Tiro y á Sidón será más tolerable [el castigo] en el día del juicio, que á vosotras.
