# Connecting Statement:

Jesus continues to rebuke the people of the cities where he previously did miracles.

# You, Capernaum

Jesus now speaks to the people in the city of Capernaum as if they were listening to him, but they were not. The pronoun "you" is singular and refers to Capernaum throughout these two verses. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-apostrophe]])

# You

All occurrences of "you" are singular. If it is more natural to refer to the people of the city, you could translate with a plural "you." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])

# Capernaum ... Sodom

The names of these cities refer to the people living in Capernaum and in Sodom. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# do you think you will be exalted to heaven?

"do you think you will be raised up to heaven?" Jesus uses a rhetorical question to rebuke the people of Capernaum for their pride. It can be stated in active form: Alternate translation: "you cannot raise yourself up to heaven!" or "the praise of other people will not raise you up to heaven!" or "God will not bring you up to heaven like you think he will!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# you will be brought down to Hades

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "God will send you down to Hades" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# For if in Sodom ... it would still have remained until today

Jesus is describing a situation that could have happened in the past, but it did not. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])

# if in Sodom there had been done the mighty deeds that were done in you

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "if I had done the mighty deeds among the people of Sodom that I have done among you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# mighty deeds

"mighty works" or "works of power" or "miracles"

# it would still have remained

The pronoun "it" refers to the city of Sodom.
