Greater Light, Greater Judgment
Commentators agree that this verse illustrates a principle of proportional judgment. John Gill explains that cities like Chorazin and Bethsaida, which witnessed Jesus' ministry directly, had greater spiritual 'light and privileges.' Therefore, their rejection of Jesus results in a more severe judgment than that of pagan cities like Tyre and Sidon, who did not have the same opportunity.
