Context — Jesus' Warning to Unrepentant Citiesgenerated
Luke 10:14 is situated in a passage where Jesus pronounces woes upon cities that have witnessed His miracles yet remain unrepentant. He highlights the greater accountability of these cities compared to Tyre and Sidon, known for their historical wickedness. This context emphasizes the seriousness of rejecting divine revelation and the consequences that follow, as seen in the surrounding verses, particularly Luke 10:13 and Luke 10:15.

The Key Word — ἀνεκτότερον, anektosgenerated
The word ἀνεκτός (i.e., *anektos*) is an adjective meaning tolerable or endurable. It is derived from the verb ἀνέχομαι, which means to bear or endure. The comparative form ἀνεκτότερος indicates a greater degree of tolerability, suggesting that Tyre and Sidon will experience a less severe judgment than those who have rejected Jesus' message.
In this context, the use of ἀνεκτότερον underscores the idea that those who have had less exposure to the truth may face a different standard of judgment than those who have seen Jesus' works and still choose to reject Him.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.' The KJV and ASV also use 'more tolerable,' maintaining the comparative sense of ἀνεκτότερον.
The YLT and WEB similarly express this idea, while the BBE uses 'better,' which implies a more favorable judgment. The translations consistently convey the contrast between the judgment on Tyre and Sidon and that on the unrepentant cities.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the linking verb ἔσται, will it be, which connects the subject ἀνεκτότερον to the predicate. The structure includes a prepositional phrase indicating the time of judgment and a noun phrase specifying the subjects of comparison.
The sentence is constructed with a clear comparative structure: it states the condition of Tyre and Sidon in relation to the cities that rejected Jesus, emphasizing the differing outcomes based on their responses.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
κρίσις appears in the Septuagint, often translated from the Hebrew word for judgment, מִשְׁפָּט. This connection highlights the continuity of the theme of divine judgment from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
The term πλήν is also present in the Septuagint, indicating exceptions or contrasts, similar to its usage in this verse, where it introduces a significant distinction in judgment.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Luke 10:14 shows that Jesus is warning the cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida that their rejection of Him will lead to a harsher judgment than that faced by Tyre and Sidon, which had a history of wickedness. This verse emphasizes the seriousness of turning away from the truth.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Jesus indicates that Tyre and Sidon, despite their wickedness, will face a less severe judgment compared to the cities that witnessed His miracles and rejected Him.
He uses Tyre and Sidon as examples of cities known for their sinfulness to highlight the greater accountability of Chorazin and Bethsaida, which had the privilege of His teachings and miracles.
The judgment refers to God's evaluation of people's responses to His revelation, emphasizing that those who have received more knowledge are held to a higher standard.
This verse reflects Jesus' call to repentance and the serious consequences of rejecting His message, which is a recurring theme throughout His teachings.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways have I responded to the truth revealed in my life, and how does that compare to the cities mentioned?
- What does it mean for me to be accountable for the knowledge I have received about Jesus?
- How can I ensure that I am not like Chorazin and Bethsaida, but rather responsive to Jesus' message?
- What steps can I take to share the truth of Jesus with others who may not have heard it?

We have again to choose between the two alternative views, (1) that the words were spoken but once, and floated in men’s memories without any very definite note of time or place, and were wrongly placed by one, or, possibly, by both Evangelists; or (2) that they were repeated on different occasions. The latter seems, on the whole, by far the more probable.

The Greek word πλήν (*plēn*) functions primarily as an adverb meaning 'but,' 'however,' or 'except.' It can also serve as a preposition with the genitive, indicating exceptions. In the New Testament, it appears in several contexts, often introducing clauses that restrict or expand on previous statements, such as in Matthew 11:22 and Acts 20:23. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement regarding its usage.

Τύρος (i.e. Turos) refers to Tyre, a prominent maritime city in Phoenicia known for its wealth and commerce. It appears in several New Testament passages, including Mark 7:24 and Acts 21:3. The lexicons note its historical significance and mention its decline to a small town by the 13th century.

It is at present an obscure little place containing some five thousand inhabitants, part Mohammedans part Christians, with a few Jews (cf. Bideker’s Palestine p. 425sq.; [Murray’s ditto p. 370 sq.]).

1. Physical Features:
The most noted of the Phoenician cities situated on the coast, lat. 33ø 17 minutes, about 20 miles South of Sidon and about 35 North of Carmel. The date of its foundation is uncertain, but it was later than that of Sidon. It is mentioned in the travels of the Egyptian Mohar, dating probably from the 14th century BC, and in the Tell el-Amarna Letters of about the same period. Herodotus describes the temple of Hercules at Tyre and says it was built 2,300 years before his time, which would carry back the beginning of the city to more than 2700 BC. It was a double city, one part on an island, a short distance from the shore, and the other on the mainland opposite. The island city had two harbors, connected by a canal, one looking North and the other South. The island was rocky and the city was fortitled on the land…
Tyre
A rock, now es-Sur; an ancient Phoenician city, about 23 miles, in a direct line, north of Acre, and 20 south of Sidon. Sidon was the oldest Phoenician city, but Tyre had a longer and more illustrious history. The commerce of the whole world was gathered into the warehouses of Tyre. “Tyrian merchants were the first who ventured to navigate the Mediterranean waters; and they founded their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring islands of the AEgean Sea, in Greece, on the northern coast of Africa, at Carthage and other places, in Sicily and Corsica, in Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the pillars of Hercules at Gadeira (Cadiz)” (Driver’s Isaiah). In the time of David a friendly alliance was entered into between the Hebrews and the Tyrians, who were long ruled over by their native kings (2 Sam. 5:11;
(a rock), a celebrated commercial city of Phoenicia, on the coast of the Mediterranean. Its Hebrew name, Tzor , signifies a rock; which well agrees with the site of Sur , the modern town, on a rocky peninsula, formerly an island. There is no doubt that, previous to the siege of the city by Alexander the Great, Tyre was situated on an island; but, according to the tradition of the inhabitants, there was a city on the mainland before there was a city on the island; and the tradition receives some color from the name of Palaetyrus, or Old Tyre, which was borne in Greek times by a city on the continent, thirty stadia to the south.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

Σιδών is the Greek name for Sidon, an ancient city of Phoenicia known for its wealth and maritime trade. It appears in several New Testament passages, including Matthew and Mark. The word is derived from Hebrew and has various forms, including adjectives and nouns related to the city and its people. There is a note in Thayer's entry suggesting a possible etymology related to fishing.

In the Old Testament ZIDON, now called Saida, was celebrated city of Phoenicia, on the Mediterranean Sea, twenty miles north of Tyre and as many south of Beyroot. It is one of the most ancient cities in the world, Ge 49:13, and is believed to have been founded by Zidon, the eldest son of Canaan, Ge 10:15 49:13. In the time of Homer, the Zidonians were eminent for their trade and commerce, their wealth and prosperity, their skill in navigation, astronomy, architecture, and for their manufactures of glass, etc. They had then a commodious harbor, now choked with sand and inaccessible to any but the smallest vessels. Upon the division of Canaan among the tribes by Joshua, Great Zidon fell to the lot of Asher, Jos 11:8 19:28; but…

The Greek word ἀνεκτός (i.e., *anektos*) means tolerable or endurable. It is derived from the verb ἀνέχομαι (to bear or endure) and is used in a comparative form, ἀνεκτότερος, meaning 'more tolerable.' The New Testament references include Matthew 10:15, 11:22, 24, and Luke 10:12, 14, where it describes conditions that can be borne.

ἀν-εκτός, -ov, and in later Grk. also -ds, -y, -ov [ef. W. 68 (67); B. 25 (22)], (ἀνέχομαι to bear, endure); fr. Hom. down; bearable, tolerable: ἀνεκτότερον ἔσται the lot will be more tolerable, Mt. x. 15; xi. 22, 24; Mk. vi. 11 RLbr.;- Lk. x. 12, 14. (In Grk. writ. fr. Hom. down.)

If the reading can be accepted, the word occurs in the dialect inscription Sy// 793 αἱ ἀ(ν)εκτίόϊν ἐστι ta Θεμί[σ]τι καὶ βέλτιον ἐ(σ)κιχρέμεν. Its appearance in the Christian letter P Oxy VI. 939% (iv/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 130) ἀνεκτότερον ἐσχηκέναι, ‘to be in a more tolerable state,” counts naturally for little, as NT echoes abound.

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate
direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different)
preposition.

PREP PREPosition
A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

κρίσις (krisis) is derived from the verb κρίνω (krinō), meaning to judge or decide. It encompasses a range of meanings, including judgment, decision, and trial, often in a legal or divine context. In the New Testament, it refers to both human and divine judgment, with specific mentions in John and Matthew regarding the last judgment. The lexicons do not present significant disagreement.

The time of its coming and its duration are known only to God. It will break upon the world suddenly, and with a glorious but awful majesty.

The Greek word ἤ (ē) is a particle used to indicate distinction, functioning as a disjunctive 'or' and a comparative 'than.' It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in phrases like 'either...or' and in disjunctive questions.

But in late Greek μή has encroached very largely upon οὐ, with the result that in the NT οὐ is almost entirely confined to the indicative, while μή monopolizes the other moods (but see I. 5).

(A.D. 22) (= Selections, p. 36), where certain men are confined to prison, ἐὰν μή τι πίσωσι τὸν ἀρχιστάτορα δο[ῦν]αι etk(= ἱκ)ανόν, ‘* unless indeed they shall persuade the chief usher to give security,’’ BGU II. 5301” \i/a.D.)

σύ is the second-person singular pronoun meaning 'you' in Greek. It has various forms: genitive σοῦ, dative σοί, and accusative σέ. The word can be used for emphasis or contrast, particularly in the New Testament, as seen in verses like Matthew 26:64. It also appears in various dialects and has enclitic forms.
