Matthew 11:16-19 ▼

16 |To what can I compare the people living today? They're like little children who sit in the marketplaces and shout to each other,

17 A wedding song we played for you, the dance you all did scorn. A woeful dirge we chanted, too, but then you would not mourn.'

18 Because John didn't come eating or drinking, yet people say, 'He has a demon!'

19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Absolved from every act of sin, is wisdom by her kith and kin.|
