Those who were once enlightened and then rebelled from the truth are the hardest to reclaim. They will not believe in the most impressive of miracles. Can you imagine seeing the ministry of the Savior, as he healed the blind, cleansed lepers, opened the ears of the deaf, and even brought individuals back to life—can you imagine being a witness to all these wonderful miracles? Would you then conclude that the performer of these miracles was of the devil? What else could Jesus of Nazareth have done to convince them? Hence, he was disgusted at their unbelief, remarking, much as did Samuel, Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon (Gentile cities), they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you (Matt 11:21-2). Like the people of Chorazin and Bethsaida, the Nephites had also received powerful witnesses, and they had been just as stubborn as their Israelite brethren in the Old World.
