Matthew 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. Both Tyre and Sidon were Phoenecian cities. Though evil abounded in this area, and they had been punished, still the miracles had not been prevalent there. The sad thing was when the miracles were done, the people quickly forgot what God has done for them. That is even so in our churches today. God does one miracle right after the other, and if it didnt happen in the last five minutes, we tend to forget. If we have come face to face with the opportunity to repent and be saved, and we reject it, we are without excuse before God. “More tolerable”: This indicates that there will be degrees of punishment in hell for the ungodly (Mark 6:11; Luke 12:47-48; Heb. 10:29).
