Luke 10:14 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:14

But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at
the judgment
Or "in the day of judgment", as read the Syriac, Persic, Ethiopic, and Gothic versions; and as it is in ( Matthew 11:22 )

than for you;
the inhabitants of Chorazin and Bethsaida, who will be more severely punished than these Gentile cities; for by how much greater were their light, privileges, and advantages against which they sinned, by so much will be their severer punishment.
