32 If half the mighty works that have been done in you were done in Tyre and in Sidon they would have long ago repented of their sins, and sought the way of right. 33 And when the judgment day shall come, lo, Tyre and Sidon will be called more worthy than will you, 34 Because they slighted not their gifts, while you have thrown away the pearl of greatest price. 35 Woe unto you Capernaum! Behold, you are exalted now, but you shall be abased; 36 For if the mighty works that have been done in you had but been done within the cities of the plain--of Sodom and Zeboim--they would have heard and turned to God; would not have been destroyed. 37 They perished in their ignorance; they had no light; but you have heard; you have the evidence. 38 The light of life has shown above your hills and all the shores of Galilee have been ablaze with light; 39 The glory of the Lord has shown in every street and synagogue and home; but you have spurned the light. 40 And, lo, I say, The judgment day will come and God will deal in greater mercy with the cities of the plains than he will deal with you. CHAPTER 104. _Jesus teaches the multitudes. Attends a feast in Simon’s house. A wealthy courtesan anoints him with precious balm. Simon rebukes him and he preaches a sermon on false respectability._ And Jesus looked upon the multitudes who pressed about for selfish gain. 2 The men of learning and of wealth, of reputation and of power, were there; but they knew not the Christ. 3 Their eyes were blinded by the tinseled glitter of their selfish selves; they could not see the king. 4 And though they walked within the light, they groped about in dark--a darkness like the night of death. 5 And Jesus cast his eyes to heaven and said, 6 I thank thee, Holy One of heaven and earth, that while the light is hidden from the wise and great, it is revealed to babes. 7 Then turning to the multitudes he said, I come to you not in the name of man, nor in a strength my own; 8 The wisdom and the virtue that I bring to you are from above; they are the wisdom and the virtue of the God whom we adore. 9 The words I speak are not my words; I give to you what I receive. 10 Come unto me all you who labor and pull heavy loads and I will give you aid. 11 Put on the yoke of Christ with me; it does not chafe; it is an easy yoke. 12 Together we will pull the load of life with ease; and so rejoice. 13 A Pharisee, whose name was Simon, made a feast, and Jesus was the honored guest. 14 And as they sat about the board, a courtesan who had been cured of her desire to sin by what she had received and seen in Jesus’ ministry, came uninvited to the feast. 15 She brought an alabaster box of costly balm and as the guests reclined she came to Jesus in her joy, because she had been freed from sin, 16 Her tears fell fast, she kissed his feet, and dried them with her hair, and she anointed them with balm.
