  "summary": "Jesus warns Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum about their failure to repent despite his works. He then praises the Father’s revelation and invites the weary to learn from him and receive rest.",
  "context": "The named cities are subjects of the warning, not a newly narrated tour. The invitation to rest belongs in the same reading as the warning and the statement about the Father and Son.",
  "question": "How do warning, revelation and invitation belong together in this passage?",
  "locationNote": "The cities are addressed in a warning, but the place where Jesus speaks is unnamed. Naming a city in a saying is not evidence of a visit at that moment.",
