Gospel text
Mt 11:20-24
Mt 11:20-24
“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."
Gospel's Commentary
Today the tone Jesus uses frightens us. Is the matter really that serious? Jesus Christ laments the lack of faith among the people of those towns. And yet Jesus Christ had performed great miracles there! Failing to trust in God: that is the one mistake we should never make.
—Faith does not depend on miracles, but on prayer and friendship with God. Miracles, miracles… they still happen in our own day. And only God’s friends see them!
