This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee - “It has been indeed,” says Dr. Stanley, “more tolerable, in one sense, in the day of its earthly judgment, for the land of Sodom than for Capernaum; for the name, and perhaps even the remains of Sodom are still to be found on the shores of the Dead Sea; while that of Capernaum has, on the Lake of Gennesareth, been utterly lost.” But the judgment of which our Lord here speaks is still future; a judgment not on material cities, but their responsible inhabitants - a judgment final and irretrievable.
