“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

From that time Jesus began to preach this message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

Then Jesus began to criticize openly the cities in which he had done many of his miracles, because they did not repent.

“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented when Jonah preached to them – and now, something greater than Jonah is here!
