John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, etc.] Or “in the day of judgment”, as read the Syriac, Persic, Ethiopic, and Gothic versions; and as it is in (<401122>Matthew 11:22) than for you; the inhabitants of Chorazin and Bethsaida, who will be more severely punished than these Gentile cities; for by how much greater were their light, privileges, and advantages against which they sinned, by so much will be their severer punishment.”
