10:14

But: In this context, the Greek conjunction that the Berean Standard Bible translates as But can also be translated as “Nevertheless” or “Even so.” The implied connection is:

But even though the people of Tyre and Sidon did not ⌊see the miracles and⌋ repent

Some English versions, such as the Good News Translation, do not translate this conjunction explicitly.

it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you: See 10:12. As in that verse, the phrase more bearable here means “will receive a less severe punishment.”

at the judgment: The word judgment refers to the future time when God will judge people.

you: The pronoun you refers here to the people of Chorazin and Bethsaida. See the note on 10:13a for more information on how to translate this pronoun.
