MATTHEW 11:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:”
Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. The denunciation of the Galilean cities where Jesus had concentrated his ministry — Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum — is the logical consequence of the parable of the children: neither John nor Jesus moved the generation to repent, and the cities that witnessed the most miracles refused the most decisively. The concentration of miracles in these cities makes their rejection more culpable, not less. The chapter that began with John's question ends with Jesus' judgment on the unrepentant.
