In the Old Testament, they were often condemned by prophets for their idolatry and pride (Isaiah 23, <a href="/ezekiel/28.htm">Ezekiel 28</a>). Despite their paganism, Jesus suggests that their judgment will be more lenient compared to the cities that rejected His message. This implies that greater revelation brings greater responsibility. The mention of Tyre and Sidon serves as a warning to those who have witnessed Jesus' miracles and teachings yet remain unrepentant.<p><b>at the judgment</b><br>The judgment refers to the final judgment when all people will be held accountable for their actions and responses to God's revelation.

The idea of varying degrees of judgment is consistent with Jesus' teachings elsewhere, indicating that those with greater knowledge of God's truth will face stricter judgment (<a href="/luke/12-47.htm">Luke 12:47-48</a>).<p><b>than for you.</b><br>"You" refers to the cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, which had witnessed Jesus' miracles and heard His teachings but largely remained unrepentant. These cities were part of the region of Galilee, where Jesus performed many of His works.
