Matthew 11:16-19

« Matt 10Matt 11Matt 12 »

16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call out to the other children, 17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not ¹mourn.’ 18 For John came neither ^aeating nor ^bdrinking, and they say, ‘^cHe has a demon!’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a ¹drunkard, ^aa friend of tax collectors and ²sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated ³by her deeds.”
