Matthew 11:20-22 — Jesus declares that judgment will be 'more bearable' for Tyre and Sidon than for Chorazin and Bethsaida, indicating degrees of future condemnation.

Mike looks at Jesus' words about future judgment to show that not only are some sins worse, but the punishments in final judgment are also graduated.

Undesigned coincidences: subtle agreements between independent gospel accounts that are too incidental to be deliberate. Example: John says Jesus asked Philip where to buy bread (John 6); only Luke says the feeding was near Bethsaida; only John says Philip and Andrew were from Bethsaida. The connection (Jesus asked the local guys) only appears when you combine the accounts — no single author engineered it.
