Luke 10:13-16

The Kingdom Mission Expanded, Mercy Defined, and the Better Portion Chosen

Luke moves from kingdom mission in the harvest field to judgment against unresponsive cities, from rejoicing over authority to rejoicing over heavenly belonging, from divine revelation to humble reception, from legal questioning to costly mercy, and from anxious service to the better portion of listening to Jesus.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

15 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades!

16 Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
