The Unbelieving Towns
(Luke 10.13-15)
20 In the towns where Jesus had worked most of his miracles, the people refused to turn to God. So Jesus was upset with them and said:
21 (A) You people of Chorazin are in for trouble! You people of Bethsaida are in for trouble too! If the miracles that took place here had happened in Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have turned to God long ago. They would have dressed in sackcloth and put ashes on their heads.[a] 22 I tell you on the day of judgment the people of Tyre and Sidon will get off easier than you will.

- 11.21 sackcloth … ashes on their heads: This was one way that people showed how sorry they were for their sins.
