Verses 13-16 “13Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.”
Those who have received the most Christian witness, the most Bible teaching, and yet reject Christ will have the most to answer for in the judgment.  This is the principle that “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:” (Luke 12:48). Those words have nothing whatever to do with Jesus approving of the well-to-do paying more taxes. Those words have to do with Christian service and with gospel opportunities. Hearing the Word of God should lead to repentance and faith in Jesus. To reject God’s Word is to reject both the Father and the Son.
