Matthew 11:23 in Context — Matthew 11
21 Malheur à toi, Chorazin! Malheur à toi, Bethsaïda! Car, si les miracles qui ont été faits au milieu de vous avaient été faits dans Tyr et dans Sidon, il y a longtemps qu’elles se seraient repenties, en prenantle sac et la cendre.
22 C’est pourquoi je vous le dis: au jour du jugement, Tyr et Sidon seront traitées moins rigoureusement que vous.
23 Et toi, Capernaüm, seras-tu élevée jusqu’au ciel? Non. Tu seras abaissée jusqu’au séjour des morts; car, si les miracles qui ont été faits au milieu de toi avaient été faits dans Sodome, elle subsisterait encore aujourd’hui.
24 C’est pourquoi je vous le dis:au jour du jugement, le pays de Sodome sera traité moins rigoureusement que toi.
25 En ce temps-là, Jésus prit la parole, et dit: Je te loue, Père, Seigneur du ciel et de la terre,de ce que tu as caché ces choses aux sages et aux intelligents, et de ce que tu les as révélées aux enfants.
