“To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17
“ ‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
