JMNT(i)
12 "I am now saying to folks, that within that Day it will be more able to hold up in (or: endurable and bearable for) Sodom than in (or: for) that town or city.
13 "Tragic will be your fate, Chorazin! Tragic will be your fate, Bethsaida! If the expressions (manifestations; works; deeds) of power birthing themselves (or: taking place) within you had happened within Tyre and Sidon, they would have long ago changed their thinking and altered their lives by turning [to God] – while [dressed] in sackcloth and continuing to sit in (or: on) ashes.
14 "More than this, within the separating for evaluation and a decision (or: on the [Day] of judging) it will proceed in being more able to hold up in (or: more endurable for) Tyre and Sidon than in (or: for) you.
15 And you, Capernaum! You will not proceed in being ‘lifted up (or: exalted) to heaven (or: as far as [the] sky)! You will [instead] progressively climb down (or: descend; subside; [other MSS: be mounted so as to be brought down]) to the unseen (or: as far as Hades; or to the [state and condition of being] unseen).’ [Isa. 14:13, 15]
16 "The person continuing to listen to and hear you folks is habitually listening to and hearing Me. And the person habitually setting you aside and disregarding you continues to set Me aside and disregard Me. Yet the person setting Me aside continues to set aside and disregard the One sending Me off with a mission and as a representative (emissary)."
