Matthew 11:20 in Context — Matthew 11

18 Porque veio João, sem comer nem beber, e dizem: ‘Ele tem demônio.’

19 Veio o Filho do homem, que come e bebe, e dizem: ‘Eis aqui um homem comilão e beberrão, amigo de publicanos e pecadores!’ Mas a sabedoria prova-se justa por meio de seus filhos.

20 Então ele começou a repreender as cidades em que a maioria de seus milagres haviam sido feitos, por não terem se arrependido:

21 Ai de ti Corazim! Ai de ti Betsaida! Porque se em Tiro e em Sidom tivessem sido feitos os milagres que em vós foram feitos, há muito tempo teriam se arrependido com saco e com cinza!

22 Porém eu vos digo que mais tolerável será para Tiro e Sidom, no dia do juízo, que para vós.
