Gospel for Tuesday of the 15th Week in Ordinary Time I

Matthew 11:20-24

Summary: Jesus rebuked the towns where he performed many miracles for not repenting. He warned that on the day of judgment, it would be easier for notorious sinful cities than for them.

Gospel Acclamation: If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. (Psalm 95:8)

Jesus Rebukes Unrepentant Towns

Jesus began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done since they had not repented. “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum:

Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.

For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
