Common English Bible CEB

17 ‘We played the flute for you and you didn't dance. We sang a funeral song and you didn't mourn.'

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.'

19 Yet the Human One came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is proved to be right by her works."
