Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable--more bearable.
for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city--Those Cities of the Plain, which were given to the flames for their loathsome impurities, shall be treated as less criminal, we are here taught, than those places which, though morally respectable, reject the Gospel message and affront those that bear it.

In the day of judgment - Or, punishment, - κρισεως. Perhaps not meaning the day of general judgment, nor the day of the destruction of the Jewish state by the Romans; but a day in which God should send punishment on that particular city, or on that person, for their crimes. So the day of judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah, was the time in which the Lord destroyed them by fire and brimstone, from the Lord out of heaven.
If men are thus treated for not receiving the preachers of the Gospel, what will it be to despise the Gospel itself, to decry it, to preach the contrary, to hinder the preaching of it, to abuse those who do preach it in its purity, or to render it fruitless by calumnies and lies! Their punishment, our Lord intimates, shall be greater than that inflicted on the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah! |
16 Behold [2400], I [1473] send [649] you [5209] forth [649] as [5613] sheep [4263] in [1722] the midst [3319] of wolves [3074]: be ye [1096] therefore [3767] wise [5429] as [5613] serpents [3789], and [2532] harmless [185] as [5613] doves [4058].
17 But [1161] beware [4337] of [575] men [444]: for [1063] they will deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860] to [1519] the councils [4892], and [2532] they will scourge [3146] you [5209] in [1722] their [846] synagogues [4864];
18 And [2532] ye shall be brought [71] before [1909] governors [2232] and [2532] [1161] kings [935] for my [1752] sake [1700], for [1519] a testimony [3142] against them [846] and [2532] the Gentiles [1484].
19 But [1161] when [3752] they deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860], take [3309] no [3361] thought [3309] how [4459] or [2228] what [5101] ye shall speak [2980]: for [1063] it shall be given [1325] you [5213] in [1722] that same [1565] hour [5610] what [5101] ye shall speak [2980].
20 For [1063] it is [2075] not [3756] ye [5210] that speak [2980], but [235] the Spirit [4151] of your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] speaketh [2980] in [1722] you [5213].
21 And [1161] the brother [80] shall deliver up [3860] the brother [80] to [1519] death [2288], and [2532] the father [3962] the child [5043]: and [2532] the children [5043] shall rise up [1881] against [1909] their parents [1118], and [2532] cause [2289] them [846] to be put to death [2289].
22 And [2532] ye shall [2071] be hated [3404] of [5259] all [3956] men for [1223] my [3450] name's sake [3686]: but [1161] he that [3778] endureth [5278] to [1519] the end [5056] shall be saved [4982].
23 But [1161] when [3752] they persecute [1377] you [5209] in [1722] this [5026] city [4172], flee ye [5343] into [1519] another [243]: for [1063] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Ye shall [5055] not [3364] have gone over [5055] the cities [4172] of Israel [2474], till [2193] the Son [5207] of man [444] be [302] come [2064].
