But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.	And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
