{Would have repented} (an meteno(8873)an). Conclusion
(apodosis) of second-class condition, determined as unfulfilled.
{Long ago} (palai). Implies a considerable ministry in these
cities of which we are not told. Chorazin not mentioned save here

{Sitting in sackcloth and ashes} (en sakk(9369) kai spodoi
kath(886d)enoi). Pictorial and graphic. The sakkos (sackcloth) was
dark coarse cloth made of goat's hair and worn by penitents,
mourners, suppliants. It is a Hebrew word, _sag_. The rough cloth
was used for sacks or bags. To cover oneself with ashes was a
mode of punishment as well as of voluntary humiliation.
