- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “You also, people of Capernaum, it’s your desire to be praised by all, but you’ll be thrown into hell.

The old time people who lived in the town of Sodom, if they had seen the miracles like those that were done in the town of Capernaum, they would have separated from the evil in which they lived and then they wouldn’t have been finished off.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
