  • **rebuke the cities ** - Jesus is here using a metonymy, accusing the people of these cities of doing wrong. (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy)
  • **cities ** - "towns"
  • **in which most of his great deeds were done ** - This can be translated with an active verb: "in which he did most of his great deeds" (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive).
  • mighty deeds - This can be translated "mighty works" or "works of power" or "miracles" (UDB).
  • because they had not repented - The pronoun "they" refers to the people in the cities that had not repented.
  • Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! - Jesus speaks as if the people of the cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida were there listening to him, but they were not. (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_apostrophe)
  • **Chorazin...Bethsaida...Tyre...Sidon ** - The names of these cities are used as metonymy for the people living in these cities. (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy)
  • If the mighty deeds had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you - This can be translated with active forms: "If I did the mighty deeds in Tyre and Sidon that I did in you" (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive).
