“ And you people of Capernaum, will you be honored in heaven? No, you will go down to the place of the dead. For if the miracles I did for you had been done in wicked Sodom, it would still be here today.

He went first to Nazareth, then left there and moved to Capernaum, beside the Sea of Galilee, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

For you said to yourself,‘ I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north.I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.’Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths.

As he traveled through Galilee, he came to Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a government official in nearby Capernaum whose son was very sick.When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Jesus to come to Capernaum to heal his son, who was about to die.Jesus asked,“ Will you never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?”The official pleaded,“ Lord, please come now before my little boy dies.”Then Jesus told him,“ Go back home. Your son will live!” And the man believed what Jesus said and started home.While the man was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and well.He asked them when the boy had begun to get better, and they replied,“ Yesterday afternoon at one o’clock his fever suddenly disappeared!”Then the father realized that that was the very time Jesus had told him,“ Your son will live.” And he and his entire household believed in Jesus.This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did in Galilee after coming from Judea.

Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah.He utterly destroyed them, along with the other cities and villages of the plain, wiping out all the people and every bit of vegetation.

But the people of this area were extremely wicked and constantly sinned against the Lord.

For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment.And God did not spare the ancient world— except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood.Later, God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned them into heaps of ashes. He made them an example of what will happen to ungodly people.But God also rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a righteous man who was sick of the shameful immorality of the wicked people around him.Yes, Lot was a righteous man who was tormented in his soul by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day.So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.

Then he said,“ You will undoubtedly quote me this proverb:‘ Physician, heal yourself’— meaning,‘ Do miracles here in your hometown like those you did in Capernaum.’

Now I say to you that you are Peter( which means‘ rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.

For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.

But even if you soar as high as eagles and build your nest among the stars, I will bring you crashing down,” says the Lord.

The Lord in his anger has cast a dark shadow over beautiful Jerusalem. The fairest of Israel’s cities lies in the dust, thrown down from the heights of heaven. In his day of great anger, the Lord has shown no mercy even to his Temple.

On their arrival in Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple tax came to Peter and asked him,“ Doesn’t your teacher pay the Temple tax?”

As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, Sodom and her daughters were never as wicked as you and your daughters.Sodom’s sins were pride, gluttony, and laziness, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door.She was proud and committed detestable sins, so I wiped her out, as you have seen.

I made the nations shake with fear at the sound of its fall, for I sent it down to the grave with all the others who descend to the pit. And all the other proud trees of Eden, the most beautiful and the best of Lebanon, the ones whose roots went deep into the water, took comfort to find it there with them in the depths of the earth.Its allies, too, were all destroyed and had passed away. They had gone down to the grave— all those nations that had lived in its shade.

When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him,

And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment.

And their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalem, the city that is figuratively called“ Sodom” and“ Egypt,” the city where their Lord was crucified.

“ Son of man, sing this funeral song for the king of Tyre. Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord:“ You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and exquisite in beauty.You were in Eden, the garden of God. Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone— red carnelian, pale green peridot, white moonstone, blue green beryl, onyx, green jasper, blue lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald— all beautifully crafted for you and set in the finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created.I ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian. You had access to the holy mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire.“ You were blameless in all you did from the day you were created until the day evil was found in you.Your rich commerce led you to violence, and you sinned. So I banished you in disgrace from the mountain of God. I expelled you, O mighty guardian, from your place among the stones of fire.Your heart was filled with pride because of all your beauty. Your wisdom was corrupted by your love of splendor. So I threw you to the ground and exposed you to the curious gaze of kings.You defiled your sanctuaries with your many sins and your dishonest trade. So I brought fire out from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.All who knew you are appalled at your fate. You have come to a terrible end, and you will exist no more.”

and he went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side.
