According to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, the Galilean cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida, Capernaum, and the Decapolis did not repent in response to Jesus's teaching, so Jesus declared that the wicked cities of Tyre, Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah would have repented; it will be more bearable for the latter cities on the Judgement Day, and Capernaum, in particular, will sink down to Hades (Matthew ...
For instance, while Matthew (13:53-58) and Mark (6:1-6) have versions of the rejection of Jesus in his hometown, Luke (4:14-30) devotes much more time to the episode than the other gospels. S. G. Wilson suggests that this might give a glimpse of later persecution by Jews and rejection of the Jewish mission for a gentile mission in Acts (13:46 ...

Bethsaida: Situated on the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Bethsaida was the hometown of apostles Peter, Andrew, and Philip. It was also the site where Jesus healed a blind man (Mark 8:22-26). Capernaum: Often called Jesus' "own city" (Matthew 9:1), Capernaum served as the center for Jesus' Galilean ministry. It was home to a ...
The claim of his gospel authorship is rejected by most modern biblical scholars, though the "traditional authorship still has its defenders." [4] The New Testament records that as a disciple, he followed Jesus. Church Fathers, such as Irenaeus and Clement of Alexandria, relate that Matthew preached the gospel in Judea before going to other ...
The Pharisees and scribes criticized Jesus and his disciples for not observing Mosaic Law. They criticized his disciples for not washing their hands before eating. (The religious leaders engaged in ceremonial cleansing like washing up to the elbow and baptizing the cups and plates before eating food in them—Mark 7:1–23, [11] Matthew 15:1–20.) [12] Jesus is also criticized for eating with ...
