23And you, Capernaum, n will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be thrown down to the depths. If the miracles I did in you had happened in Sodom, n its people would have stopped sinning, and it would still be a city today. 24But I tell you, on the Judgment Day it will be better for Sodom than for you.”
