Matthew 11:22 Context
20¶ Then began he to vpbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not. 21Woe vnto thee Chorazin, woe vnto thee Bethsaida: for if the mightie workes which were done in you, had bene done in Tyre and Sidon, they would haue repented long agoe in sackcloth and ashes. 22But I say vnto you, It shall bee more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of iudgement, then for you. 23And thou Capernaum, which art exalted vnto heauen, shalt be brought downe to hell: For if the mighty works which haue beene done in thee, had bin done in Sodome, it would haue remained vntil this day. 24But I say vnto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in þe day of iudgment, then for thee.

People's Bible Notes for Matthew 11:22
Mt 11:22 It shall be more tolerable, etc. These solemn words teach: (1) That there will be a day of judgment for all cities, nations and men. (2) That men will be judged according to their opportunities; that those who have had and neglected opportunities will be held most guilty. (3) That there will be different degrees of future punishment, according to guilt and opportunities; that those whose opportunities have been greatest will receive the greater punishment, if these are neglected. Every man will be judged and punished according to his opportunities and works. The idea of a hell of the same severity for all the unsaved is nowhere taught by Christ.
