Matthew 11:20

Nasty bastard.  How the hell were people in the towns he condems supposed to know he wasn’t just another itinerant magician, like Apollonius of Tyana (who also resurrected the dead and cured the sick?)  But he doesn’t give two squirts.  They’re damned, that’s all, folks.

Matthew 11:20-30

New International Version (NIV)

Woe on Unrepentant Towns

20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[a] For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

Spare me from ever knowing anyone like this.
