Luke 7 : 28 - 35
28 | For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he." |
29 | And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John. |
30 | But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him. |
31 | And the Lord said, "To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like? |
32 | They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: "We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not weep.' |
33 | For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, "He has a demon.' |
34 | The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' |
35 | But wisdom is justified by all her children." |
